[edk2-devel] AcpiViewApp is for ARM platform

[Sami Mujawar]

Hi Tiger,

AcpiViewApp is an extension to the UEFI Shell debug command ‘acpiview’.  I have not tired it on x86 as I have no means of testing this, but the application should work and dump raw table data.
As it stands Acpiview[App] lacks support for detailed parsing and analysis of the x86 specific ACPI table fields. However, the parsing mechanism itself is designed to be generic and it should be possible to add support for parsing x86 specific ACPI table fields.

For example, the GICC parsing is done by the following sections of the code:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Madt/MadtParser.c#L101..L124
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Madt/MadtParser.c#L292..L302

Support for x86 specific MADT substructures can be added in a similar way.

Please do let me know if you have any queries or need any further information.

Regards,

Sami Mujawar

Hi, All:
I tried to comple ShellPkg\Application\AcpiViewApp

I found the default compiled AcpiViewApp version is for ARM platform
For example:
I used it in shell on a x86 platform, found it checked GICC structure.

So, Is there a X86 version?

Thanks
