acpidump

This tool performs a dump of the system's ACPI tables.

Usage:

  • acpidump: Perform a full dump of the ACPI tables, printing a hexdump of results.
  • acpidump -s: Print a summary of available ACPI tables.
  • acpidump -t <table>: Print the named ACPI table.
  • acpidump -t <table> -b: Print the named ACPI table in raw, binary form.

Raw binary form may be useful when using other tools to analyse the ACPI tables. For example, to parse the DSDT ACPI table of a machine, run from your host machine:

fx acpidump -t DSDT -b > dsdt.bin
iasl dsdt.bin
cat dsdt.dsl
