About:
ACPICA (ACPI Component Architecture) provides an OS-independent implementation of the ACPI specification. It serves as a robust reference for OS vendors and hardware manufacturers to implement ACPI support. The suite includes tools for debugging, testing, and analyzing ACPI tables and namespaces.
Key Features:
  • OS-independent ACPI implementation
  • Tools for table disassembly and compilation
  • Namespace inspection and debugging utilities
  • Event handling and thermal management support
Use Cases:
  • Debugging ACPI tables and methods on hardware
  • Compiling and decompiling AML (ACPI Machine Language) code
  • Inspecting system power states and device configurations
Alternatives:
  • Linux kernel ACPICA – The Linux kernel includes a forked version of ACPICA, whereas this package provides the upstream user-space tools.
