A library to parse ACPI tables and AML, written in pure Rust. Designed to be easy to use from Rust bootloaders and kernels. The library is split into three crates: | |
- `rsdp` parses the RSDP and can locate it on BIOS platforms. It does not depend on `alloc`, so is suitable to use from bootloaders without heap alloctors. All of its | |
functionality is reexported by `acpi`. | |
- `acpi` parses the static tables (useful but not feature-complete). It can be used from environments that have allocators, and ones that don't (but with reduced functionality). | |
- `aml` parses the AML tables (can be useful, far from feature-complete). | |
There is also the `acpi-dumper` utility to easily dump a platform's ACPI tables (this currently only works on Linux). | |
## Contributing | |
Contributions are more than welcome! You can: | |
- Write code - the ACPI spec is huge and there are bound to be things we don't support yet! | |
- Improve our documentation! | |
- Use the crates within your kernel and file bug reports and feature requests! | |
Useful resources for contributing are: | |
- [The ACPI specification](https://uefi.org/specifications) | |
- [OSDev Wiki](https://wiki.osdev.org/ACPI) | |
You can run the AML test suite with `cargo run --bin aml_tester -- -p tests`. | |
You can run fuzz the AML parser with `cd aml && cargo fuzz run fuzz_target_1` (you may need to `cargo install cargo-fuzz`). | |
