The Canonical Hardware Enablement Team and myself are continuing the work to add more ACPI table tests to the Firmware Test Suite (fwts). The latest 15.08.00 release added sanity checks for the following tables:- ASF! (Alert Standard Format)
- FPDT (Firmware Performance Data Table)
- IORT (IO Remapping Table)
- MCHI (Management Controller Host Interface)
- STAO (Status Override Table)
- TPM2 (Trusted Platform Module 2)
- WDAT (Microsoft Hardware Watchdog Action Table)
Our aim is to continue to add support for existing and new ACPI tables to make fwts a comprehensive firmware test tool. For more information about fwts, please refer to the fwts jump start wiki page.
Where does one send the test results?
ReplyDeleteOne eyeballs the results. Actually, fwts is mainly used to catch bugs for the BIOS vendors, so by the time you see the bug it's probably too late because the firmware is now a shipped product :-(
