Can you give me the link to this topic? I can not find it. I think that if
U-Boot can not use this, EDK2 may be a solution.

Firstly I wonder why you want ACPI?

For this question, the aim of the ACPI table in my project is to *configure
the HW platform* replacing device tree type files currently used.
