Description ----------- The *acpi* command is used to dump the ACPI tables generated by U-Boot for passing to the operating systems. It allows manually setting the address to take a look at existing ACPI tables. ACPI tables can be generated by various output functions and even devices can output material to include in the Differentiated System Description Table (DSDT) and SSDT tables (Secondary System Description Table). U-Boot keeps track of which device or table-writer produced each piece of the ACPI tables. The ACPI tables are stored contiguously in memory. acpi list ~~~~~~~~~ List the ACPI tables that have been generated. Each table has a 4-character table name (e.g. SSDT, FACS) and has a format defined by the `ACPI specification`_. U-Boot does not currently support decoding the tables. Unlike devicetree, ACPI tables have no regular schema and also some include bytecode, so decoding the tables requires a lot of code. The table shows the following information: Name Table name, e.g. `MCFG` Base Base address of table in memory Size Size of table in bytes Detail More information depending on the table type Revision Table revision number (two decimal digits) OEM ID ID for the Original Equipment Manufacturer. Typically this is "U-BOOT". OEM Table ID Table ID for the Original Equipment Manufacturer. Typically this is "U-BOOTBL" (U-Boot bootloader) OEM Revision Revision string for the Original Equipment Manufacturer. Typically this is the U-Boot release number, e.g. 20220101 (meaning v2022.01 since the final 01 is not used). For DSDT, this is set by the source code in the parameters of DefinitionBlock(). ACPI compiler-vendor ID This is normally `INTL` for Intel ACPI compiler revision This is the compiler revision. It is set to the version string for the DSDT table but other tables just use the value 0 or 1, since U-Boot does not actually use the compiler in these cases. It generates the code itself. acpi items ~~~~~~~~~~ List the ACPI data that was generated, broken down by item. An item is either an ACPI table generated by a writer function, or the part of a table that was generated by a particular device. The `-d` flag also shows a binary dump of the table. The table shows the following information about each item: Seq Sequence number in hex Type Type of item ===== ============================================================ Type Meaning ===== ============================================================ dsdt Fragment of a DSDT table, as generated by a device ssdt Fragment of a SSDT table, as generated by a device other A whole table of a particular type. as generated by a writer ===== ============================================================ Base Base address of table in memory Size Size of table in bytes Device / Writer Name of device (for ssdt/dsdt) that wrong this fragment of the table, or name of the registered writer function (otherwise) that wrote the table. acpi dump ~~~~~~~~~ Dump a paticular ACPI table in binary format. This can be used to read the table if you have the specification handy.
