PPA
Stable release
We are continually finding new ways that firmware can be broken, and hence fwts is continually being improved to detect firmware issues. Every release cycle a stable version of fwts is uploading into Universe and occasional updates appear as bug fix releases. However, a PPA is provided containing more up-to-date version of fwts.
The stable PPA contains more stable updates, generally code that has been tested for quite a while and is thus less likely to contain new features that cause breakage. To install from this PPA use:
