+ACPI on QEMU
+============
+
+QEMU can provide ACPI tables on ARM, RISC-V (since QEMU v8.0.0), and x86.
+
+The following U-Boot settings are needed for ACPI support::
+
+ CONFIG_CMD_QFW=y
+ CONFIG_ACPI=y
+ CONFIG_GENERATE_ACPI_TABLE=y
+
+On x86 these settings are already included in the defconfig files. ARM and
+RISC-V default to use device-trees.
+
+Instead of updating the configuration manually you can add the configuration
+fragment `acpi.config` to the make command for initializing the configuration.
+E.g.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ make qemu-riscv64_smode_defconfig acpi.config
