+If you'll search through ShellPkg library (https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/ShellPkg/Library) you can notice that there is a folder `UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib` (https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib).
+This folder provides a library for the support of in-shell `acpiview` command. If you check the INF file, you'll see
+https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib.inf:
+```
+# Provides Shell 'acpiview' command functions
+```
+But if you try to execute `acpiview` in our current OVMF build, you'll notice that this command is not recognized:
+```
+FS0:\> acpiview
+'acpiview' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or script file.
+```
+We have 3 ways to use this 'acpiview' command functionality:
+- compile `acpiview` as a separate app and run it as an ordinary UEFI shell application
+- compile shell with 'acpiview' command in itself and run it under OVMF
+- update OVMF image with a shell that actually includes 'acpiview' command in itself
+
+# Compile `acpiview` as a separate app
+
+I guess it is the most easy way.
+
+It is possible to perform such thing with a help of https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/ShellPkg/Application/AcpiViewApp
+
+If you look at the source file, you'll see that it is pretty simple, the main function just makes a library call to `ShellCommandRunAcpiView` function:
+```
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+AcpiViewAppMain (
+ IN EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle,
+ IN EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *SystemTable
+ )
+{
+ return ShellCommandRunAcpiView (gImageHandle, SystemTable);
+}
+```
+
+To build this application issue:
+```
+build --platform=ShellPkg/ShellPkg.dsc --module=ShellPkg/Application/AcpiViewApp/AcpiViewApp.inf --arch=X64 --buildtarget=RELEASE --tagname=GCC5
+```
+
+Copy image to the QEMU shared folder:
+```
+cp Build/Shell/RELEASE_GCC5/X64/AcpiViewApp.efi ~/UEFI_disk/
+```
+
+You can see application help with a:
+```
+FS0:\> AcpiViewApp.efi -?
+Display ACPI Table information.
+
+ACPIVIEWAPP.EFI [[-?] | [[[[-l] | [-s AcpiTable [-d]]] [-q] [-h]] [-r Spec]]]
+
+
+ -l - Display list of installed ACPI Tables.
+ -s - Display only the specified AcpiTable type and only support single
+ invocation option.
+ AcpiTable : The required ACPI Table type.
+ -d - Generate a binary file dump of the specified AcpiTable.
+ -q - Quiet. Suppress errors and warnings. Disables consistency checks.
+ -h - Enable colour highlighting.
+ -r - Validate that all required ACPI tables are installed
+ Spec : Specification to validate against.
+ For Arm, the possible values are:
+ 0 - Server Base Boot Requirements v1.0
+ 1 - Server Base Boot Requirements v1.1
+ 2 - Server Base Boot Requirements v1.2
+ -? - Show help.
+
+
+ This program is provided to allow examination of ACPI table values 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.
+
+ Default behaviour is to display the content of all tables installed.
+ 'Known' table types (listed in NOTES below) 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 -s and -d 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.
+
+NOTES:
+ 1. The AcpiTable parameter can match any installed table type.
+ Tables without specific handling will be displayed as a raw hex dump (or
+ dumped to a file if -d is used).
+ 2. -s option supports to display the specified AcpiTable type that is present
+ in the system. For normal type AcpiTable, it would display the data of the
+ AcpiTable and AcpiTable header. The following type may contain header type
+ other than AcpiTable header. The actual header can refer to the ACPI spec
+ 6.3
+ Extra A. Particular types:
+ APIC - Multiple APIC Description Table (MADT)
+ BGRT - Boot Graphics Resource Table
+ DBG2 - Debug Port Table 2
+ DSDT - Differentiated System Description Table
+ FACP - Fixed ACPI Description Table (FADT)
+ GTDT - Generic Timer Description Table
+ IORT - IO Remapping Table
+ MCFG - Memory Mapped Config Space Base Address Description Table
+ PPTT - Processor Properties Topology Table
+ RSDP - Root System Description Pointer
+ SLIT - System Locality Information Table
+ SPCR - Serial Port Console Redirection Table
+ SRAT - System Resource Affinity Table
+ SSDT - Secondary SystemDescription Table
+ XSDT - Extended System Description Table
+
+
+
+EXAMPLES:
+ * To display a list of the installed table types:
+ fs0:\> acpiviewapp.efi -l
+
+ * To parse and display a specific table type:
+ fs0:\> acpiviewapp.efi -s GTDT
+
+ * To save a binary dump of the contents of a table to a file
+ in the current working directory:
+ fs0:\> acpiviewapp.efi -s DSDT -d
+
+ * To display contents of all ACPI tables:
+ fs0:\> acpiviewapp.efi
+
+ * To check if all Server Base Boot Requirements (SBBR) v1.2 mandatory
+ ACPI tables are installed (Arm only):
+ fs0:\> acpiviewapp.efi -r 2
+```
+
+With this program you can list ACPI tables in system:
+```
+FS0:\> AcpiViewApp.efi -l
+
+Installed Table(s):
+ 1. RSDP
+ 2. XSDT
+ 3. FACP
+ 4. FACS
+ 5. DSDT
+ 6. APIC
+ 7. HPET
+ 8. BGRT
+```
+
+Show the content of any table:
+```
+FS0:\> AcpiViewApp.efi -s BGRT
+

+
+Or dump any ACPI table:
+```
+FS0:\> acpiview -s APIC -d
+Dumping ACPI table to : .\APIC0000.bin ... DONE.
+```
+You can disassemble this image with `iasl -d <file>` like we did earlier.
+
+
+# Compile shell with 'acpiview' command in itself and run it under OVMF
+
+This case is a little bit crazy, we would be running a shell applicaion inside the shell application.
+
+I guess this is not the usual case, but it will help you to know how to compile the shell image that you can actually use in your projects.
+
+If you'll look at the https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/ShellPkg/ShellPkg.dsc you'll see that if you build `ShellPkg`, you'll actually build two versions of the `Shell.inf`:
+- one would have general commands
+- another one would have all the commands

+```
+
+In case you wonder how `UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib.inf` registers new command take a look at its sources:
+
+https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib.inf
+```
+[Defines]
+ INF_VERSION = 0x00010019

+ FILE_GUID = FB5B305E-84F5-461F-940D-82D345757AFA
+ MODULE_TYPE = UEFI_APPLICATION
+ VERSION_STRING = 1.0
+ LIBRARY_CLASS = AcpiViewCommandLib|UEFI_APPLICATION UEFI_DRIVER
+ CONSTRUCTOR = UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLibConstructor
+ DESTRUCTOR = UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLibDestructor

+```

+ L"acpiview",
+ TRUE,
+ gShellAcpiViewHiiHandle,
+ STRING_TOKEN (STR_GET_HELP_ACPIVIEW)
+ );
+
+ return EFI_SUCCESS;
+}
+```
+It doesn't look too scary, so you can even try to add your command to the shell. Maybe will try that in later lessons.
+
+Now execute this command to build the Shell application:
+```
+build --platform=ShellPkg/ShellPkg.dsc --module=ShellPkg/Application/Shell/Shell.inf --arch=X64 --buildtarget=RELEASE --tagname=GCC5
+```
+
+After the build there would be two files in the build folder:
+```
+$ ls Build/Shell/RELEASE_GCC5/X64/Shell*.efi
+Build/Shell/RELEASE_GCC5/X64/Shell_7C04A583-9E3E-4f1c-AD65-E05268D0B4D1.efi
+Build/Shell/RELEASE_GCC5/X64/Shell_EA4BB293-2D7F-4456-A681-1F22F42CD0BC.efi
+```
+
+If you look closely to the code from the `ShellPkg/ShellPkg.dsc` that I've pasted earlier, you can notice that the image that we need is an image with a `EA4BB293-2D7F-4456-A681-1F22F42CD0BC` guid.
+
+Copy it to the QEMU shared folder:
+```
+$ cp Build/Shell/RELEASE_GCC5/X64/Shell_EA4BB293-2D7F-4456-A681-1F22F42CD0BC.efi ~/UEFI_disk/
+```
+In your default shell there wouldn't be any `acpiview` command, but when as you'll move to the `Shell_EA4BB293-2D7F-4456-A681-1F22F42CD0BC.efi` this `acpiview` command would became present in the shell.
+```
+FS0:\> acpiview -l

+
+# Update OVMF image with a shell that actually includes 'acpiview' command in itself
+
+Correct `OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc`. You'll need to add `UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib.inf` to the `Shell.inf` library classes:
+```

+
+Rebuild OVMF:
+```

+
