+ACPI Device Passthrough
+########################
+
+The ACRN Hypervisor supports ACPI device passthrough with MMIO, PIO and
+IRQ resource.
+
+Here is how ACRN supports ACPI device passthrough:
+
+* Before passthrough, to ensure those ACPI devices not being accessd by
+  Service VM after assigned to post launched VM, launch script should add
+  command to unbind device instance with driver's unbind interface according
+  to capability of different ACPI device drivers before launching VMs.
+  For TPM, UART and GPIO controller, all their drivers provide such unbind
+  interface under sysfs node.
+
+* For MMIO resource, we use the command line to tell the ACRN hypervisor
+  the addresses of physical ACPI device's MMIO regions and where they are
+  mapped to in the post-launched VM. The hypervisor then remove these
+  MMIO regions from the Service VM and fills the vACPI table for this ACPI
+  device.
+
+* For PIO resource, we use the command line to tell the ACRN hypervisor
+  the addresses of physical ACPI device's PIO regions and they will be
+  identically mapped in the post-launched VM. The hypervisor then remove
+  these PIO regions from the Service VM and fills the vACPI table for this
+  ACPI device.
+
+* For IRQ resource, we use the command line to tell the ACRN hypervisor
+  the addresses of physical ACPI device's IRQ numbers and they will be
+  identically mapped in the post-launched VM, as all passthrough-supported
+  ACPI devices use IRQs within number 0-15 whose usage are commonly accepted.
+  The hypervisor then remove these IRQ mapping from Service VM and fills the
+  vACPI table specifying polarity and trigger mode of interrupt as options
+  for this ACPI device.
+
+Supported ACPI devices are TPM, UART and GPIO controller.
+
+.. note::
+   The vTPM and PT TPM in the ACRN-DM have the same HID so we
+   can't support them both at the same time. The VM will fail to boot if
+   both are used.

+``--acpidev_pt <HID>[,uid=<UID>,type=<Resource Type>,<Resouece config>,...]``
    Enable ACPI device passthrough support. The ``HID`` is a
    mandatory parameter and is the Hardware ID of the ACPI
    device.
 
    The ``UID`` is an option and used to specify an instance of the
    HID device, the default is 00.
 
+   The  ``type`` is the type of the ACPI device owned resource.
+   The available options for this parameter are ``irq``, ``memory`` and
+   ``io_port``.
+
+   For different types:
+
+   - ``irq`` require ``irq=<IRQ>`` as mandatory parameter which is the
+     IRQ used by ACPI device. ``polarity=<POLARITY>`` and
+     ``trigger_mode=<TRIGGER_MODE>`` are options to specify interrupt
+     attributes.
+
+   - ``memory`` require ``min=<MIN>`` and ``len=<LENGTH>`` as mandatory
+     parameter which is the base address and the length of MMIO region of
+     ACPI device.
+
+   - ``io_port`` require ``min=<MIN>`` and ``len=<LENGTH>`` as mandatory
+     parameter which is the base address and the length of PIO region of
+     ACPI device.

    Example::
 
       --acpidev_pt MSFT0101,00
