Generic Unix ACPICA makefiles ----------------------------- These makefiles are intended to generate the ACPICA utilities in a Unix-like environment, with the original ACPICA code (not linuxized), and in the original (git tree) ACPICA directory structure. Windows binary versions of these tools are available at: http://www.acpica.org/downloads/binary_tools.php Documentation is available at acpica.org: http://www.acpica.org/documentation/ The top level makefile will generate the following utilities: Note: These utilities are tested and supported as 32-bit versions only. acpibin acpiexec acpihelp acpinames acpisrc acpixtract iasl To generate all utilities: cd acpica/generate/unix make make install /* install all binaries to /usr/bin */ Requirements ------------ make gcc compiler (4+) bison or yacc flex or lex Configuration ------------- The Makefile.config file contains the configuration information: HOST = _CYGWIN /* Host system, must appear in acenv.h */ CC = gcc /* C compiler */ ACPICA_SRC = ../../../source /* Location of acpica source tree */ Intermediate Files ------------------ The intermediate files for each utility (.o, etc.) are placed in the subdirectory corresponding to each utility, not in the source code tree itself. This prevents collisions when different utilities compile the same source modules with different options. Output ------ The executable utilities are copied to the local bin directory. "make install" will install the binaries to /usr/bin 1) 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. 2) 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. Hardware access is simulated. 3) acpihelp, syntax help for ASL operators and reserved names acpihelp displays the syntax for all of the ASL operators, as well as information about the ASL/ACPI reserved names (4-char names that start with underscore.) 4) acpinames, load and dump acpi namespace acpinames loads an ACPI namespace from a binary ACPI table file. This is a smaller version of acpiexec that loads an acpi table and dumps the resulting namespace. It is primarily intended to demonstrate the configurability of ACPICA. 5) 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. It can also be used to clean the acpica source and generate statistics. 6) acpixtract, extract binary ACPI tables from an acpidump acpixtract is used to extract binary ACPI tables from the ASCII text output of an acpidump utility (available on several different hosts.) 7) iasl, an optimizing ASL compiler/disassembler 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.
