NAME

     acpidump -- dump ACPI tables and ASL


SYNOPSIS

     acpidump [-d] [-t] [-h] [-v] [-f dsdt_input] [-o dsdt_output]


DESCRIPTION

     The acpidump utility analyzes ACPI tables in physical memory and can dump
     them to a file.  In addition, acpidump can call iasl(8) to disassemble
     AML (ACPI Machine Language) found in these tables and dump them as ASL
     (ACPI Source Language) to stdout.

     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 acpidump utility can extract
     the DSDT data block from physical memory and store it into an output file
     and optionally also disassemble it.  If any Secondary System Description
     Table (SSDT) entries exist, they will also be included in the output file
     and disassembly.

     When acpidump is invoked without the -f option, it will read ACPI tables
     from physical memory via /dev/mem.  First it searches for the RSDP (Root
     System Description Pointer), which has the signature "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.  When invoked with the
     -t flag, the acpidump utility dumps contents of the following tables:

	   DSDT
	   ECDT
	   FACS
	   FADT
	   HPET
	   MADT
	   RSD PTR
	   RSDT

     The RSDT contains a pointer to the physical memory address of the FACP
     (Fixed ACPI Description Table).  The FACP defines static system informa-
     tion about power management support (ACPI Hardware Register Implementa-
     tion) such as interrupt mode (INT_MODEL), SCI interrupt number, SMI com-
     mand port (SMI_CMD) and the location of ACPI registers.  The FACP also
     has a pointer to a physical memory address for the DSDT.  While the other
     tables are fixed format, the DSDT consists of free-formatted AML data.


OPTIONS

     The following options are supported by acpidump:

     -d      Disassemble the DSDT into ASL using iasl(8) and print the results
	     to stdout.

     -t      Dump the contents of the various fixed tables listed above.


     -o dsdt_output
	     Store the DSDT data block from physical memory into the specified
	     file.


EXAMPLES

     This example dumps the DSDT from physical memory to foo.dsdt.  It also
     prints the contents of various system tables and disassembles the AML
     contained in the DSDT to stdout, redirecting the output to foo.asl.

	   # acpidump -t -d -o foo.dsdt > foo.asl

     This example reads a DSDT file and disassembles it to stdout.  Verbose
     messages are enabled.

	   # acpidump -v -d -f foo.dsdt


BUGS

     The current implementation does not dump the BOOT structure or other mis-
     cellaneous tables.


FILES
