acpi command
============

Synopis
-------

::

    acpi list
    acpi items [-d]
    acpi dump <name>
    acpi set <address>

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.
