|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility analyzes ACPI tables in physical memory and can dump them to a file.
|
|
In addition,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can call
|
|
.Xr iasl 8
|
|
to disassemble AML
|
|
(ACPI Machine Language)
|
|
found in these tables and dump them as ASL
|
|
(ACPI Source Language)
|
|
to stdout.
|
|
.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
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is invoked without the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option, it will read ACPI tables from physical memory via
|
|
.Pa /dev/mem .
|
|
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.
|
|
When invoked with the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
flag, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility dumps contents of the following tables:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width 12345 -compact
|
|
.It DMAR
|
|
.It DSDT
|
|
.It ECDT
|
|
.It FACS
|
|
.It FADT
|
|
.It HPET
|
|
.It MADT
|
|
.It MCFG
|
|
.It RSD PTR
|
|
.It RSDT
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The RSDT contains a pointer to the physical memory address of the 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 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.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The following options are supported by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Disassemble the DSDT into ASL using
|
|
.Xr iasl 8
|
|
and print the results to stdout.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Dump the contents of the various fixed tables listed above.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Displays usage and exit.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Enable verbose messages.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar dsdt_input
|
|
Load the DSDT from the specified file instead of physical memory.
|
|
Since only the DSDT is stored in the file, the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
flag may not be used with this option.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar dsdt_output
|
|
Store the DSDT data block from physical memory into the specified file.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh FILES

|
.Bl -tag -width /dev/mem

.It Pa /dev/mem

|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
If a developer requests a copy of your ASL, please use the following
|
|
command to dump all tables and compress the result.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# acpidump -dt | gzip -c9 > my_computer.asl.gz
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# acpidump -t -d -o foo.dsdt > foo.asl
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This example reads a DSDT file and disassembles it to stdout.
|
|
Verbose messages are enabled.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# acpidump -v -d -f foo.dsdt

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.0
|
|
and was rewritten to use
|
|
.Xr iasl 8
|
|
for
|
|
.Fx 5.2 .
