acpica-unix ----------- This source release includes: 1) a cross-OS AML interpreter This is intended to allow commercial and open source operating systems to be enabled for ACPI. OS specific code is still needed, but the AML interpreter should greatly improve the development speed of ACPI support. The AML interpreter source should be integrated into the kernel's build process. We recommend establishing an automated method for this, so later versions can also be incorporated easily. Please see the documentation on the website for API and other implementation information. 2) iasl, an ASL compiler/decompiler iasl compiles ASL (ACPI Source Language) into AML (ACPI Machine Language). This AML is suitable for inclusion as a DSDT in system firmware. It also can disassemble AML, for debugging purposes. To compile: cd compiler make It has been compiled on Linux, but should easily port to other Unix environments. Run 'iasl -h' for more information, or download the binary version for documentation in PDF format. 3) acpisrc, a source code conversion tool acpisrc converts the standard form of the acpica source release (included here) into a version that meets Linux coding guidelines. This consists mainly of performing a series of string replacements and transformations to the code. To compile: cd tools/acpisrc make It has been compiled on Linux, but should easily port to other Unix environments. 4) acpibin, an AML file tool acpibin compares AML files, dumps AML binary files to text files, extracts binary AML from text files, and other AML file manipulation. To compile: cd tools/acpibin make 5) acpiexec, a user-space AML interpreter acpiexec allows the loading of ACPI tables and execution of control methods from user space. Useful for debugging AML code and testing the AML interpreter. To compile: cd tools/acpiexec make Thanks -- The ACPI CA Team
