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.
