+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The *acpi* command is used to dump the ACPI tables generated by U-Boot for passing
+to the operating systems.
+
+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.
