.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility analyzes ACPI tables in physical memory and dumps them to
|
|
standard output.
|
|
In addition,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can disassemble AML
|
|
(ACPI Machine Language)
|
|
found in these tables and dump them as ASL
|
|
(ACPI Source Language).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
ACPI tables have an essential data block (the DSDT,
|
|
Differentiated System Description Table),
|
|
that includes information used on the kernel side such as
|
|
detailed information about PnP hardware, procedures for controlling
|
|
power management support and so on.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility can extract the DSDT data block from physical memory and store it into
|
|
a DSDT data file, and also can generate an output in ASL
|
|
from a given DSDT data file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is invoked without the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option, it will read ACPI tables from physical
|
|
memory via a special file
|
|
.Pa /dev/mem
|
|
and dump them.
|
|
First it searches for the RSDP
|
|
(Root System Description Pointer),
|
|
which has the signature
|
|
.Qq RSD PTR\ \& ,
|
|
and then gets the RSDT
|
|
(Root System Description Table),
|
|
which includes a list of pointers to physical memory addresses
|
|
for other tables.
|
|
The RSDT itself and all other tables linked from RSDT are generically
|
|
called SDTs
|
|
(System Description Tables)
|
|
and their header has a common format which consists of items
|
|
such as Signature, Length, Revision, Checksum, OEMID, OEM Table ID,
|
|
OEM Revision, Creator ID and Creator Revision.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility dumps contents of these SDTs.
|
|
For further information about formats of each table,
|
|
see chapter 5:
|
|
.Dq ACPI Software Programming Model
|
|
from the ACPI specifications referenced below.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is always a pointer to a physical memory address in RSDT for FACP
|
|
(Fixed ACPI Description Table).
|
|
The FACP defines static system information about power management support
|
|
(ACPI Hardware Register Implementation)
|
|
such as interrupt mode
|
|
(INT_MODEL),
|
|
SCI interrupt number, SMI command port
|
|
(SMI_CMD)
|
|
and location of ACPI registers.
|
|
The FACP also has a pointer to a physical memory address for DSDT,
|
|
which includes information used on the kernel side such as
|
|
PnP, power management support and so on.
|
|
While the other tables are described in fixed format,
|
|
the DSDT consists of AML data which is compiled from sources
|
|
written in free formated ASL, which is the description language for ACPI.
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
outputs DSDT, it disassembles the AML data and
|
|
formats it as ASL.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The following options are supported by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl f Ar dsdt_file_for_input
|
|
Interprets AML data in DSDT from a file specified in
|
|
.Ar dsdt_file_for_input
|
|
and dumps them in ASL to standard output.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Displays usage and exits.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar dsdt_file_for_output
|
|
Stores DSDT data block from physical memory into a file specified in
|
|
.Ar dsdt_file_for_output
|
|
in addition to behavior with no option.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Additionally outputs commented
|
|
.Fn ResourceTemplate
|
|
macros for Buffer
|
|
objects that contain valid resource streams.
|
|
These macros are defined in the ACPI 2.0 specification section
|
|
16.2.4.

|
|
simultaneously on a machine that supports ACPI BIOS.
