-The AML Debugger
-
-Copyright (C) 2016, Intel Corporation
-Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
-
-
-This document describes the usage of the AML debugger embedded in the Linux
-kernel.
-
-1. Build the debugger
-
- The following kernel configuration items are required to enable the AML
- debugger interface from the Linux kernel:
-
- CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER=y
- CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER_USER=m
-
- The userspace utilities can be built from the kernel source tree using
- the following commands:
-
- $ cd tools
- $ make acpi
-
- The resultant userspace tool binary is then located at:
-
- tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
-
- It can be installed to system directories by running "make install" (as a
- sufficiently privileged user).
-
-2. Start the userspace debugger interface
-
- After booting the kernel with the debugger built-in, the debugger can be
- started by using the following commands:
-
- # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
- # modprobe acpi_dbg
- # tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
-
- That spawns the interactive AML debugger environment where you can execute
- debugger commands.
-
- The commands are documented in the "ACPICA Overview and Programmer Reference"
- that can be downloaded from
-
- https://acpica.org/documentation
-
- The detailed debugger commands reference is located in Chapter 12 "ACPICA
- Debugger Reference". The "help" command can be used for a quick reference.
-
-3. Stop the userspace debugger interface
-
- The interactive debugger interface can be closed by pressing Ctrl+C or using
- the "quit" or "exit" commands. When finished, unload the module with:
-
- # rmmod acpi_dbg
-
- The module unloading may fail if there is an acpidbg instance running.
-
-4. Run the debugger in a script
-
- It may be useful to run the AML debugger in a test script. "acpidbg" supports
- this in a special "batch" mode. For example, the following command outputs
- the entire ACPI namespace:
-
- # acpidbg -b "namespace"
