## What is a DSDT

DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table) is a part of the [ACPI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface) specification. It supplies information about supported power events in a given system. ACPI tables are provided in firmware from the manufacturer.

Ours are compiled with the Microsoft compiler.\
