Apple Hardware Dumps: System Profiler, Ioreg, Dsdt, Etc.

DSDT

Differentiated System Description Table (DSDT) - DSDT is a part of the ACPI specification and it supplies configuration information about a base system. ACPI capable computers come with a preinstalled DSDT from the manufacturer. A common Linux/OS X problem is missing ACPI functionality (fans not running, laptop screens not shutting off, etc.)

This subforum is dedicated to patches/fixes able to be inserted/modified from an extracted dsdt.dsl, which is then compiled into a DSDT.aml for OS X to pick up and use (with a proper bootloader).

These fixes are not permanent, and do not damage your BIOS.

Apple Hardware Dumps

Let us collect all we know about "the originals" :-)

IO Registry
Install Developer Tools, open IORegistryExplorer and choose "Save" from the "File" menu.
Additionally, please run the following in Terminal:

CODE

ioreg -lw0 > model.ioreg

DSDT
DSDT is usually completely contained in the IO Registry.
Use the script "dsdt.sh" to dump all ACPI tables that are accessible from Mac OS X.
If you have the output of "ioreg -lw0" in a file, pass the file name as the first argument, e.g. "dsdt.sh MacPro5,1.ioreg"

dsdt.sh.zip ( 635bytes ) Number of downloads: 1097

This will yield a file ACPI.zip containing all accessible ACPI tables.
To dump all ACPI tables from Linux, including those inaccessible from OS X, boot some Live CD and install "acpidump". It's usually in a package called "acpidump" (Ubuntu) or "pmtools" (Fedora).
On Ubuntu, you first need to enable the component "universe". Either use the Software Sources settings, or run "apturl apt:acpidump?section=universe".
Become root using "sudo -s" (Ubuntu) or "su -" (Fedora) and run the following command:

CODE

ID="ACPI-`dmidecode | sed -n s'/.*Product Name: *$.*$/\1/p'|head -1`"; mkdir -p /tmp/ACPI && cd /tmp/ACPI && dmesg | perl -we '$n=0; while (<>) { if (($t,$a,$l,$o) = (/^[^a-zA-Za-z]*ACPI: ([-._A-Za-z0-9]{4,4}) +([0-9A-Fa-f]{8,16})[^(]* ([0-9A-Fa-f]{4,8})+(?:\s*\(([^)]+))?/)) { $o && $o=~s/[^-._a-zA-Za-z0-9]+/-/g; ($cmd="acpidump -a $a -l $l > \"${t}".($o?"_$o":"").".aml\""); system($cmd); ++$n; } } die("No match") unless $n;'; [ -f DSDT*.aml ] && zip -r "$HOME/$ID".zip *

This will yield a zip archive file called ACPI-<NAME OF YOUR BOARD>.zip in your home directory ("$HOME") containing all ACPI tables.

SSDT
Some SSDT tables can only be obtained from Linux. Please use the above command, it will dump the SSDT tables (including C-states) as well.

Sound Codec
Boot some Linux live CD and run the following command in a terminal window (assuming bash shell)

CODE

cd ~/Desktop && mkdir CodecDump && for c in /proc/asound/card*/codec#*; do f="${c/\/*card/card}"; cat "$c" > CodecDump/${f//\//-}.txt; done && zip -r CodecDump.zip CodecDump

This will yield a file CodecDump.zip containing the codec dumps from all your sound cards.

MacPro4,1

System Profiler
The last four to six figures of serial numbers and hardware addresses are replaced by zeroes.

MacPro4_1.spx.zip ( 156.35K ) Number of downloads: 791

IOReg
Only output from "ioreg -lw0" is available as the owner did not have IORegistryExplorer installed.
The last four to six figures of serial numbers and hardware addresses are replaced by zeroes.

MacPro4_1.ioreg.zip ( 76.6K ) Number of downloads: 867

DSDT
Extracted from ioreg dump above.

MacPro4_1_dsdt.aml.zip ( 5.95K ) Number of downloads: 1051

SSDT
Extracted from ioreg dump above.

MacPro4_1_ssdt.aml.zip ( 1.36K ) Number of downloads: 550

MacBook5,1

DSDT

MacBook5_1_acpi.zip ( 14.09K ) Number of downloads: 802

SSDT
Comprised in DSDT dump above

Codec Dump

MacBook5_1_codec.zip ( 3.47K ) Number of downloads: 329

-------
Slice:
I will ask to provide a dump with latest stable revision of DarwinDumper, if possible.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, that would rock.
And if you do it the way I obtained the System profiler dump (by going to the Apple store), please capture it on video for everyone to enjoy watching you boot an Ubuntu live USB stick on Apple property...

I'm working on a python script to automate the dumps under Linux (Ubuntu only for now), it looks like it's working so far, I've got RSDP dumping but I have no idea if the binary file is outputting what it should.

Can you take a look at the RSDP.bin and make sure it looks okay THe KiNG?

If it is I'll just make it dump the rest of the variables as well, should be done by tomorrow

IOReg
Note: This is not a proper dump from IORegistryExplorer, it's just an excerpt from the above System Profiler report. You at least need to decode all the ">" etc. stuff yourself.
[attachment=105:MacPro4_1.ioreg.zip]

you should use "ioreg -lw0" instead, or dump the registry directly with ioregistryexplorer, it's more simple and more readable

I agree. IMHO, the best is to dump directly from IORegistryExplorer.
However, in my local Apple Stores, neither Terminal nor IORegistryExplorer were available...

EDIT: Used Apple Script to "do shell script" :-) Output added to first post.

Indeed,  Don't want people fiddling about with their systems and IORegistryExplorer does give you a bit more info, especially when creating things like DSDTs.

Well, I got sick recently and didn't have the patience or energy to work on this, luckily today Kabyl linked me to this:

http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot...une/049390.html, which gives this script from the coreboot people.
All credit for this script goes to the coreboot team.

ACPI.sh.zip ( 608bytes ) Number of downloads: 313

Make sure it's run as root in an empty directory, this should do everything you need it to do THe KiNG

Thanks realityiswhere, works fine with a Fedora 11 Live CD. One needs acpidump, and this is part of the package "pmtools" (run "su -; yum -y install pmtools"). With a Ubuntu CD it would probably have been even easier.
As a side note, the CD crashes at reboot.... I hear OpenHaltRestart.kext missing in Fedora

EDIT: Apparently, the script does not dump much more than is available in OS X. I have added a one-liner you can run as root in an xterm. It gets the SSDT tables and zips them up for you to upload here

The script is not complete

it does not dump the stuff from memory location.. eg:
on CpuPM SSDT(dumped fine with the script):

Name (SSDT, Package (0x0C)
{
"CPU0IST ",
0xBFECAC98,
0x00000238,
"CPU1IST ",
0xBFECAF18,
0x000000C8,
"CPU0CST ",
0xBFEC9C18,
0x000002AD,
"CPU1CST ",
0xBFEC9F18,
0x00000085
})
those 4 tables are missing...
To get them u need to specify the adress and lenght for each one eg:

for "CPU0IST ",
0xBFECAC98,
0x00000238,
acpidump -a 0xBFECAC98 -l 0x00000238 > CPU0IST.bin

and the same for the rest...
After all tables dumped in first place are decompiled must be added another check for the missing one and dump them...then decompile and that ok

Too bad.
Try this one-liner to get just the SSDT tables mentioned by THe KiNG:

CODE

dmesg | egrep '^ACPI: SSDT' | while read line; do [[ $line =~ '.*SSDT ([A-F0-9]+), +([A-F0-9]+) +\([^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +([^ ]+).*' ]] && acpidump -a "0x${BASH_REMATCH[1]}" -l "0x${BASH_REMATCH[2]}" > "SSDT_${BASH_REMATCH[3]}.aml"; done && zip -r SSDT.aml.zip SSDT_*.aml

Added script to dump ACPI tables from ioreg file or by running ioreg. Puts them into a zip file, incl. the de-compiled versions if "iasl" is available in your $PATH.

I am typing this from my MacBook 5,1 (with the shared memory) and I have a friend with the MacBook Pro 5,1 , with the 9400/9600M GT that overheats when he plays any games

I'll post mine when I get a chance to dump it, and I'll see my friend tomorrow so if I think of it I'll have him dump his as well for me.

Now the n00b way on how to dump ACPI Tables using windows:
Require Lavalys EVEREST Corporate Edition v5.01.1700 or higher.

Open Everest and right click next to the name as in pic:

Chose ACPI Tool and dump all tables as in pic:

Enjoy and happy hacking!
