+1. Introduction
+   This acpiview staging branch is requested by Evan Lloyd <evan.lloyd@arm.com>
+   following suggestions from Jiewen Yao <jiewen.yao@intel.com> in response
+   to a patch submitted to the edk2-devel mailing list.
+   The aim is to allow collaborative development of acpiview for all platforms.

+   Jiewen Yao <iiewen.yao@intel.com>
+
+3. Feature Summary
+   Acpiview allows examination of ACPI table contents from the UEFI Shell.
+   This can help with investigations, especially at that stage where the tables
+   are not enabling an OS to boot.  The program is not exhaustive, and only
+   encapsulates detailed knowledge of a limited number of table types.
+   There is no immediate intent to provide disassembly of AML tables.
+
+   Default behaviour is to display the content of all tables installed.
+   'Known' table types will be parsed and displayed with descriptions and
+   field values.  Where appropriate a degree of consistency checking is
+   done and errors may be reported in the output.
+   Other table types will be displayed as an array of Hexadecimal bytes.
+
+   To facilitate debugging, the -t and -b options can be used to generate a
+   binary file image of a table that can be copied elsewhere for
+   investigation using tools such as those provided by acpica.org.  This is
+   especially relevant for AML type tables like DSDT and SSDT.
