pmtools - acpiexec

pmtools - acpiexec

[Thomas Renninger]

Hi,

I recently played with acpiexec to debug a DSDT.

This seems to be a very useful tool to debug/execute DSDTs outside the kernel?
Is it supposed to work?

The first Hunk of this patch makes it compile/link again.

It came out that the AcpiGbl_RootNode was not allocated.
I tried it with the second Hunk, but it seems as if this Node has
to be created in some special way, as parsing of the DSDT segfaults
when it tries to find the parent of the (global root?) node.

Thanks,

      Thomas

 Hi,

Actually, acpiexec should work on Linux without any changes to source.
Besides, last version is 20050902.

Regards,
	Alex.

Very funny...,
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm
still points to:
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/acpica-unix-20050624.tar.gz

Is there another site to download latest changes?
An official read-only CVS (with mail notification on changes or similar) would really be appreciated.

i also know of
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/
where the latest pmtools (e.g. acpidump) are to be found; 20050823 atm.

or a single place for downloading acpica-unix and pmtools, for instance
the ftp-site on kernel.org. although some mail notification would be
superior and would enable me to keep acpi.sf.net better in sync.

cheers,
 Sebastian
