Summary : ACPICA tools for the development and debug of ACPI tables
URL : https://www.acpica.org/
License : GPLv2
Description : The ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA) project provides an
: OS-independent reference implementation of the Advanced
: Configuration and Power Interface Specification (ACPI). ACPICA
: code contains those portions of ACPI meant to be directly
: integrated into the host OS as a kernel-resident subsystem, and a
: small set of tools to assist in developing and debugging ACPI
: tables.
:
: This package contains only the user-space tools needed for ACPI
: table development, not the kernel implementation of ACPI. The
: following commands are installed:
: -- iasl: compiles ASL (ACPI Source Language) into AML (ACPI
: Machine Language), suitable for inclusion as a DSDT in
: system firmware. It also can disassemble AML, for debugging
: purposes.
: -- acpibin: performs basic operations on binary AML files
: (e.g., comparison, data extraction)
: -- acpidump: write out the current contents of ACPI tables
: -- acpiexec: simulate AML execution in order to debug method
: definitions
: -- acpihelp: display help messages describing ASL keywords and
: op-codes
: -- acpinames: display complete ACPI name space from input AML
: -- acpisrc: manipulate the ACPICA source tree and format source
: files for specific environments
: -- acpixtract: extract binary ACPI tables from acpidump output
: (see also the pmtools package)
:
: This version of the tools is being released under GPLv2 license.
