ACPI CA includes:
- iasl, an ASL compiler/decompiler
- acpisrc, a source code conversion tool
- acpiexec, a user-space AML interpreter
- acpixtract, convert ascii ACPI tables to binary
The ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA) project provides an operating system (OS)-independent reference implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification (ACPI). It can be easily adapted to any host OS. The ACPICA code is meant to be directly integrated into the host OS, as a kernel-resident subsystem. Hosting the ACPICA requires no changes to the core ACPICA code. However, it does require a small OS-specific interface layer, which must be written specifically for each host OS.
The complexity of the ACPI specification leads to a lengthy and difficult implementation in OS software. The purpose of the ACPI Component Architecture is to simplify ACPI implementations for operating system vendors (OSVs) by providing major portions of an ACPI implementation in OS-independent ACPI modules that can be easily integrated into any OS.

Re: acpica
For iasl look here:
- 32bit: http://zenwalk.pinguix.com/user-account ... /20090903/ (This packages misses documentation and acpixtract)
Here's a 64bit packages with both documentation and acpixtract:
http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/package ... /20090903/
I currently can't provide a 32bit build, as I completely smashed my 32bit system and currently rebuild it.
You could create one yourself by just setting arch to 'i486' in the SLKBUILD. Then run 'slkbuild -X' with the slkbuild package installed.

Re: acpica
Here's 32bit now too: http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/package ... /20090903/
I assume you tested the 64bit version building VirtualBox?

I used the 20091214 version by slackbuilds.org
