ACPICA 官方提供了一些工具可供直接使用，具体列表如下：
| acpibin.exe | A binary AML file tool 提供了 AML 文件比较功能，AML文件转 TEXT, TEXT转 AML ,显示AML文件头，重新计算填充 AML Checksum的功能，删除注释提供简洁代码（Terse mode），显示编译时间日期 |

| acpidump.exe | Dump System ACPI Tables 读取当前系统中 ACPI Table 的工具。以文本方式输出。配合AcpiXtract 可以实现DSDR和SSDT的合并。 |

| acpiexec.exe | User Mode ACPI Execution/Simulation 在用户模式下运行一些 ACPI 命令/模拟，需要注意的是这些操作都是和硬件无关的。 |

| acpihelp.exe | Display ACPI Help Information |
| 显示当前工具支持的 ASL 操作和关键字，预定义信息等等。我个人的理解是：这一套工具可以自行扩展，或者说新版本可能会增加新定义的操作等等，这个工具能够输出当前支持的操作和关键字这种信息。 | |
