The latest ACPI specification can be found under UEFI specifications page https://uefi.org/specifications
The current latest specification is "ACPI Specification Version 6.4 (released January 2021)" (https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.4/)
Use the same tactic we used for SMBIOS tables to print ACPI entry point table address:
#include <Library/UefiBootServicesTableLib.h>
#include <Library/UefiLib.h>
#include <Library/BaseMemoryLib.h>
EFI_STATUS
EFIAPI
UefiMain (
IN EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle,
IN EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *SystemTable
)
{
for (UINTN i=0; i<SystemTable->NumberOfTableEntries; i++) {
if (CompareGuid(&(SystemTable->ConfigurationTable[i].VendorGuid), &gEfiAcpi20TableGuid)) {
Print(L"ACPI table is placed at %p\n\n", SystemTable->ConfigurationTable[i].VendorTable);
}
}
return EFI_SUCCESS;
}
Use dmem to peak inside ACPI table memory:
FS0:\> AcpiInfo.efi
ACPI table is placed at 7B7E014
FS0:\> dmem 7B7E014 30
Memory Address 0000000007B7E014 30 Bytes
07B7E014: 52 53 44 20 50 54 52 20-4E 42 4F 43 48 53 20 02 *RSD PTR NBOCHS .*
07B7E024: 74 D0 B7 07 24 00 00 00-E8 D0 B7 07 00 00 00 00 *t...$...........*
07B7E034: 66 00 00 00 AF AF AF AF-AF AF AF AF AF AF AF AF *f...............*
FS0:\>
The signature RSP PTR stands for Root System Description Pointer (RSDP) Structure (https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.4/05_ACPI_Software_Programming_Model/ACPI_Software_Programming_Model.html#root-system-description-pointer-rsdp-structure).
It contains addresses for RSDT and XSDT tables. If you calculate offsets, you'll get these addresses from our memory dump:
XSDT=0x07B7D0E8
RSDT=0x07B7D074
These tables in turn would cointain pointers to other ACPI tables that actualy contain data useful to OS.
According to the spec "platforms provide the RSDT to enable compatibility with ACPI 1.0 operating systems. The XSDT supersedes RSDT functionality". So if you peak these addresses with dmem, table contents would be pretty much the same except table signatures. Therefore in our app code we would be parsing XSDT table data.
Ok, it's time to write some code. ACPI structures are defined in the following header files:
$ ls -1 MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi*
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi.h
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi10.h
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi20.h
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi30.h
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi40.h
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi50.h
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi51.h
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi60.h
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi61.h
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi62.h
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi63.h
MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/AcpiAml.h
Keep in mind that headers for latter standards include headers for earlier standards in itself.
Acpi.h > Acpi63.h > Acpi62.h > ... > Acpi10.h > AcpiAml.h
Let's look at RSDP structure definition at the most latest ACPI standard header file https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi63.h
///
/// Root System Description Pointer Structure
///
typedef struct {
UINT64 Signature;
UINT8 Checksum;
UINT8 OemId[6];
UINT8 Revision;
UINT32 RsdtAddress;
UINT32 Length;
UINT64 XsdtAddress;
UINT8 ExtendedChecksum;
UINT8 Reserved[3];
} EFI_ACPI_6_3_ROOT_SYSTEM_DESCRIPTION_POINTER;
We can use it to print addresses of RSDT/XSDT tables.
EFI_ACPI_6_3_ROOT_SYSTEM_DESCRIPTION_POINTER* RSDP = NULL;
for (UINTN i=0; i<SystemTable->NumberOfTableEntries; i++) {
if (CompareGuid(&(SystemTable->ConfigurationTable[i].VendorGuid), &gEfiAcpi20TableGuid)) {
Print(L"RSDP table is placed at %p\n\n", SystemTable->ConfigurationTable[i].VendorTable);
RSDP = SystemTable->ConfigurationTable[i].VendorTable;
}
}
if (!RSDP) {
Print(L"No ACPI2.0 table was found in the system\n");
return EFI_SUCCESS;
}
if (((CHAR8)((RSDP->Signature >> 0) & 0xFF) != 'R') ||
((CHAR8)((RSDP->Signature >> 8) & 0xFF) != 'S') ||
((CHAR8)((RSDP->Signature >> 16) & 0xFF) != 'D') ||
((CHAR8)((RSDP->Signature >> 24) & 0xFF) != ' ') ||
((CHAR8)((RSDP->Signature >> 32) & 0xFF) != 'P') ||
((CHAR8)((RSDP->Signature >> 40) & 0xFF) != 'T') ||
((CHAR8)((RSDP->Signature >> 48) & 0xFF) != 'R') ||
((CHAR8)((RSDP->Signature >> 56) & 0xFF) != ' ')) {
Print(L"Error! RSDP signature is not valid!\n");
return EFI_SUCCESS;
}
Print(L"System description tables:\n");
Print(L"\tRSDT table is placed at address %p\n", RSDP->RsdtAddress);
Print(L"\tXSDT table is placed at address %p\n", RSDP->XsdtAddress);
Print(L"\n");
In the same file (https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi63.h) you can find description for XSDT structure:
//
// Extended System Description Table
// No definition needed as it is a common description table header, the same with
// EFI_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_HEADER, followed by a variable number of UINT64 table pointers.
//
The definition for EFI_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_HEADER can be found here https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi10.h:
#pragma pack(1)
///
/// The common ACPI description table header. This structure prefaces most ACPI tables.
///
typedef struct {
UINT32 Signature;
UINT32 Length;
UINT8 Revision;
UINT8 Checksum;
UINT8 OemId[6];
UINT64 OemTableId;
UINT32 OemRevision;
UINT32 CreatorId;
UINT32 CreatorRevision;
} EFI_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_HEADER;
#pragma pack()
Let's check information about other ACPI tables that are present in the system:
EFI_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_HEADER* XSDT = (EFI_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_HEADER*)RSDP->XsdtAddress;
if (((CHAR8)((XSDT->Signature >> 0) & 0xFF) != 'X') ||
((CHAR8)((XSDT->Signature >> 8) & 0xFF) != 'S') ||
((CHAR8)((XSDT->Signature >> 16) & 0xFF) != 'D') ||
((CHAR8)((XSDT->Signature >> 24) & 0xFF) != 'T')) {
Print(L"Error! XSDT signature is not valid!\n");
return EFI_SUCCESS;
}
Print(L"Main ACPI tables:\n");
UINT64 offset = sizeof(EFI_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_HEADER);
while (offset < XSDT->Length) {
UINT64* table_address = (UINT64*)((UINT8*)XSDT + offset);
EFI_ACPI_6_3_COMMON_HEADER* table = (EFI_ACPI_6_3_COMMON_HEADER*)(*table_address);
Print(L"\t%c%c%c%c table is placed at address %p with length 0x%x\n",
(CHAR8)((table->Signature>> 0)&0xFF),
(CHAR8)((table->Signature>> 8)&0xFF),
(CHAR8)((table->Signature>>16)&0xFF),
(CHAR8)((table->Signature>>24)&0xFF),
table,
table->Length);
offset += sizeof(UINT64);
}
There is one more thing that we need to check. Some ACPI tables can contatin pointers to another ACPI tables. For example Fixed ACPI Description Table (FADT) can contain pointers to DSDT and FACS tables.
You can check FADT description in ACPI specification (https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.4/05_ACPI_Software_Programming_Model/ACPI_Software_Programming_Model.html#fixed-acpi-description-table-fadt).
In edk2 there is a structure for FADT in the https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Acpi63.h file:
`EFI_ACPI_6_3_FIXED_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_TABtruct { EFI_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_HEADER Header; UINT32 FirmwareCtrl; UINT32 Dsdt; ... } EFI_ACPI_6_3_FIXED_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_TABLE;
FirmwareCtrl field contains pointer to the FACS table and Dsdt field contains pointer to the DSDT table.
Let's write a CheckSubtables function that can check if the ACPI table is FADT and if it is look for its subtables:
VOID CheckSubtables(EFI_ACPI_6_3_COMMON_HEADER* table)
{
if (((CHAR8)((table->Signature >> 0) & 0xFF) == 'F') &&
((CHAR8)((table->Signature >> 8) & 0xFF) == 'A') &&
((CHAR8)((table->Signature >> 16) & 0xFF) == 'C') &&
((CHAR8)((table->Signature >> 24) & 0xFF) == 'P')) {
EFI_ACPI_6_3_FIXED_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_TABLE* FADT = (EFI_ACPI_6_3_FIXED_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_TABLE*)table;
EFI_ACPI_6_3_COMMON_HEADER* DSDT = (EFI_ACPI_6_3_COMMON_HEADER*)(UINT64)(FADT->Dsdt);
if (((CHAR8)((DSDT->Signature >> 0) & 0xFF) == 'D') &&
((CHAR8)((DSDT->Signature >> 8) & 0xFF) == 'S') &&
((CHAR8)((DSDT->Signature >> 16) & 0xFF) == 'D') &&
((CHAR8)((DSDT->Signature >> 24) & 0xFF) == 'T')) {
Print(L"\tDSDT table is placed at address %p with length 0x%x\n", DSDT, DSDT->Length);
} else {
Print(L"\tError! DSDT signature is not valid!\n");
}
EFI_ACPI_6_3_COMMON_HEADER* FACS = (EFI_ACPI_6_3_COMMON_HEADER*)(UINT64)(FADT->FirmwareCtrl);
if (((CHAR8)((FACS->Signature >> 0) & 0xFF) == 'F') &&
((CHAR8)((FACS->Signature >> 8) & 0xFF) == 'A') &&
((CHAR8)((FACS->Signature >> 16) & 0xFF) == 'C') &&
((CHAR8)((FACS->Signature >> 24) & 0xFF) == 'S')) {
Print(L"\tFACS table is placed at address %p with length 0x%x\n", FACS, FACS->Length);
} else {
Print(L"\tError! FACS signature is not valid!\n");
}
}
}
Call this funtion in our while loop right after the Print statement:
CheckSubtables(table);
If you build our app and execute it under OVMF now you would get:
FS0:\> AcpiInfo.efi
RSDP table is placed at 7B7E014
System description tables:
RSDT table is placed at address 7B7D074
XSDT table is placed at address 7B7D0E8
Main ACPI tables:
FACP table is placed at address 7B7A000 with length 0x74
DSDT table is placed at address 7B7B000 with length 0x140B
FACS table is placed at address 7BDD000 with length 0x40
APIC table is placed at address 7B79000 with length 0x78
HPET table is placed at address 7B78000 with length 0x38
BGRT table is placed at address 7B77000 with length 0x38
Pretty neat, our system has 4 ACPI data tables:
- Fixed ACPI Description Table (
FACP) - https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.4/05_ACPI_Software_Programming_Model/ACPI_Software_Programming_Model.html#fixed-acpi-description-table-fadt - Differentiated System Description Table (

HPET) - http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technical-specifications/software-developers-hpet-spec-1-0a.pdf - This one is not present in ACPI spec, but in a separate document from the page https://uefi.org/acpi - Boot Graphics Resource Table (
BGRT) - https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.4/05_ACPI_Software_Programming_Model/ACPI_Software_Programming_Model.html#boot-graphics-resource-table-bgrt
Keep in mind that as with SMBIOS tables we could use a protocol to get the same data. GetAcpiTable() function of a EFI_ACPI_SDT_PROTOCOL can help to get the same information. This protocol also is defined by UEFI PI specification.
In edk2 it is defined under https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Protocol/AcpiSystemDescriptionTable.h
Now let's try to save ACPI tables from memory to files.
To do this we can utilize EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL that is defined in UEFI Shell specification (https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI_Shell_2_2.pdf). It has many functions for File I/O.
The necessary header in edk2 is https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Protocol/Shell.h
typedef struct _EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL {
EFI_SHELL_EXECUTE Execute;
EFI_SHELL_GET_ENV GetEnv;
EFI_SHELL_SET_ENV SetEnv;
EFI_SHELL_GET_ALIAS GetAlias;
EFI_SHELL_SET_ALIAS SetAlias;
EFI_SHELL_GET_HELP_TEXT GetHelpText;
EFI_SHELL_GET_DEVICE_PATH_FROM_MAP GetDevicePathFromMap;
EFI_SHELL_GET_MAP_FROM_DEVICE_PATH GetMapFromDevicePath;
EFI_SHELL_GET_DEVICE_PATH_FROM_FILE_PATH GetDevicePathFromFilePath;
EFI_SHELL_GET_FILE_PATH_FROM_DEVICE_PATH GetFilePathFromDevicePath;
EFI_SHELL_SET_MAP SetMap;
EFI_SHELL_GET_CUR_DIR GetCurDir;
EFI_SHELL_SET_CUR_DIR SetCurDir;
EFI_SHELL_OPEN_FILE_LIST OpenFileList;
EFI_SHELL_FREE_FILE_LIST FreeFileList;
EFI_SHELL_REMOVE_DUP_IN_FILE_LIST RemoveDupInFileList;
EFI_SHELL_BATCH_IS_ACTIVE BatchIsActive;
EFI_SHELL_IS_ROOT_SHELL IsRootShell;
EFI_SHELL_ENABLE_PAGE_BREAK EnablePageBreak;
EFI_SHELL_DISABLE_PAGE_BREAK DisablePageBreak;
EFI_SHELL_GET_PAGE_BREAK GetPageBreak;
EFI_SHELL_GET_DEVICE_NAME GetDeviceName;
EFI_SHELL_GET_FILE_INFO GetFileInfo;
EFI_SHELL_SET_FILE_INFO SetFileInfo;
EFI_SHELL_OPEN_FILE_BY_NAME OpenFileByName;
EFI_SHELL_CLOSE_FILE CloseFile;
EFI_SHELL_CREATE_FILE CreateFile;
EFI_SHELL_READ_FILE ReadFile;
EFI_SHELL_WRITE_FILE WriteFile;
EFI_SHELL_DELETE_FILE DeleteFile;
EFI_SHELL_DELETE_FILE_BY_NAME DeleteFileByName;
EFI_SHELL_GET_FILE_POSITION GetFilePosition;
EFI_SHELL_SET_FILE_POSITION SetFilePosition;
EFI_SHELL_FLUSH_FILE FlushFile;
EFI_SHELL_FIND_FILES FindFiles;
EFI_SHELL_FIND_FILES_IN_DIR FindFilesInDir;
EFI_SHELL_GET_FILE_SIZE GetFileSize;
EFI_SHELL_OPEN_ROOT OpenRoot;
EFI_SHELL_OPEN_ROOT_BY_HANDLE OpenRootByHandle;
EFI_EVENT ExecutionBreak;
UINT32 MajorVersion;
UINT32 MinorVersion;
// Added for Shell 2.1
EFI_SHELL_REGISTER_GUID_NAME RegisterGuidName;
EFI_SHELL_GET_GUID_NAME GetGuidName;
EFI_SHELL_GET_GUID_FROM_NAME GetGuidFromName;
EFI_SHELL_GET_ENV_EX GetEnvEx;
} EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL;
We will use 3 functions from this protocol OpenFileByName/WriteFile/CloseFile:
EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL.OpenFileByName()
Summary:
Opens a file or a directory by file name.
Prototype:
typdef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_SHELL_OPEN_FILE_BY_NAME) (
IN CONST CHAR16 *FileName,
OUT SHELL_FILE_HANDLE *FileHandle,
IN UINT64 OpenMode
);
Parameters:
FileName Points to the null-terminated UCS-2 encoded file name.
FileHandle On return, points to the file handle.
OpenMode File open mode.
Description:
This function opens the specified file in the specified OpenMode and returns a file handle.
EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL.WriteFile()
Summary:
Writes data to the file.
Prototype:
typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI EFI_SHELL_WRITE_FILE)(
IN SHELL_FILE_HANDLE FileHandle,
IN OUT UINTN *BufferSize,
OUT VOID *Buffer
);
Parameters:
FileHandle The opened file handle for writing.
BufferSize On input, size of Buffer.
Buffer The buffer in which data to write.
Description:
This function writes the specified number of bytes to the file at the current file position. The current file position is advanced the actual number of bytes
written, which is returned in BufferSize. Partial writes only occur when there has been a data error during the write attempt (such as “volume space full”).
The file automatically grows to hold the data, if required.
EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL.CloseFile()
Summary:
Closes the file handle.
Prototype:
typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_SHELL_CLOSE_FILE)(
IN SHELL_FILE_HANDLE FileHandle
);
Parameters:
FileHandle The file handle to be closed
Description This function closes a specified file handle. All “dirty” cached file data is flushed
to the device, and the file is closed. In all cases, the handle is closed.
Now let's start coding. Add necessary include to our *.c file:
#include <Protocol/Shell.h>
And necessary protocol guid to our *.inf file:
[Protocols]
gEfiShellProtocolGuid
In our program we need to acquire EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL, this can be done via LocateProtocol function from the BootServices:
EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL* ShellProtocol;
EFI_STATUS Status = gBS->LocateProtocol(
&gEfiShellProtocolGuid,
NULL,
(VOID **)&ShellProtocol
);
if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
Print(L"Can't open EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL: %r\n", Status);
return EFI_SUCCESS;
}
We would hide all save file functionality behind our custom SaveACPITable function.
EFI_STATUS SaveACPITable(UINT32 Signature, // table signature
VOID* addr, // table address
UINTN size) // table size
With it our main while loop would look like this:
while (offset < XSDT->Length) {
UINT64* table_address = (UINT64*)((UINT8*)XSDT + offset);
EFI_ACPI_6_3_COMMON_HEADER* table = (EFI_ACPI_6_3_COMMON_HEADER*)(*table_address);
Print(L"\t%c%c%c%c table is placed at address %p with length 0x%x\n",
(CHAR8)((table->Signature>> 0)&0xFF),
(CHAR8)((table->Signature>> 8)&0xFF),
(CHAR8)((table->Signature>>16)&0xFF),
(CHAR8)((table->Signature>>24)&0xFF),
table,
table->Length);
SaveACPITable(table->Signature, table, table->Length);
CheckSubtables(table);
offset += sizeof(UINT64);
}
Also don't forget to add it to our CheckSubtables function to save DSDT and FACS tables as well.
As we would be using EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL* ShellProtocol in every call of our SaveACPITable function we can either pass it everywhere as a parameter, or move ShellProtocol to global variables. Let's use the second approach in our small program.
Now it time to write this SaveACPITable function. It would save ACPI table data to the file ".aml". We use .aml extension for our files because in ACPI language source files usually have .asl/.dsl extension (ACPI Source Language), and compiled files have *.aml extension (ACPI Machine Language):
EFI_STATUS SaveACPITable(UINT32 Signature, VOID* addr, UINTN size) {
CHAR16 TableName[5];
TableName[0] = (CHAR16)((Signature>> 0)&0xFF);
TableName[1] = (CHAR16)((Signature>> 8)&0xFF);
TableName[2] = (CHAR16)((Signature>>16)&0xFF);
TableName[3] = (CHAR16)((Signature>>24)&0xFF);
TableName[4] = 0;
CHAR16 FileName[9] = {0};
StrCpyS(FileName, 9, TableName);
StrCatS(FileName, 9, L".aml");
SHELL_FILE_HANDLE FileHandle;
EFI_STATUS Status = ShellProtocol->OpenFileByName(FileName,
&FileHandle,
EFI_FILE_MODE_CREATE |
EFI_FILE_MODE_WRITE |
EFI_FILE_MODE_READ);
if (!EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
Status = ShellProtocol->WriteFile(FileHandle, &size, addr);
if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
Print(L"Error in WriteFile: %r\n", Status);
}
Status = ShellProtocol->CloseFile(FileHandle);
if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
Print(L"Error in CloseFile: %r\n", Status);
}
} else {
Print(L"Error in OpenFileByName: %r\n", Status);
}
return Status;
}
To create a string with a file name we use StrCatS and StrCpyS functions. They are safe versions of string concatention/string copy functions similar to their C++ analogs strcat_s/strcpy_s. You can check out them in a library https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Library/BaseLib/SafeString.c
With a help of EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL file operation functions writing data to a file is pretty similar to standard system programming. We open handle, write data to it, and finally close handle.
If you build our app and execute it under OVMF you would get 4 files in our UEFI_disk shared folder:
$ ls -1 ~/UEFI_disk/*.aml
/home/kostr/UEFI_disk/apic.aml
/home/kostr/UEFI_disk/bgrt.aml

/home/kostr/UEFI_disk/facp.aml
/home/kostr/UEFI_disk/facs.aml
/home/kostr/UEFI_disk/hpet.aml
You can use iasl compiler to disassemle ACPI table data:
$ iasl -d ~/UEFI_disk/*.aml
