UEFI Testing at UDS-P

Pre-UDS testing: before UDS, we'd like to get as much testing done as possible. If you have access to a machine using EFI firmware (you can check by seeing if /sys/firmware/efi exists on your machine), then we'd appreciate some brief testing.

The test data we're looking for:

1. Machine Basic identifying info (eg Intel Tunnel Mountain)

2. UEFI Version Vendor and version (eg tiano core, v2.30)

      dmesg | grep "EFI v"

1. CSM: Was CSM (legacy BIOS compatibility mode) enabled for this test run? (yes/know/don't know)

2. Boot: Does it boot at all?

3. Video: Do all of GRUB, plymouth and X display correctly?

4. S3: sudo fwts s3 --s3-multiple=30

5. S4: sudo fwts s4 --s4-multiple=30

6. S5 (shutdown): sudo shutdown -P now

7. Reboot: sudo reboot

If possible (especially if some of the above tests fail), record the fwts info:

1. Memory layout: fwts memmapdump -

2. EFI variables: sudo fwts uefidump

3. MTRR config: sudo fwts mtrr

4. Systab: sudo cat /sys/firmware/efi/systab

   • I expect ACPI20 *and* SMBIOS to be configured. SMBIOS (containing the DMI tables) can be also be verified

     using: sudo fwts smbios - and sudo fwts dmi_decode -

Testing should be done with and Oneric x86_64 image on USB. If possible, disable legacy BIOS compatibilty ("CSM") mode; this may be possible through the BIOS configuration screen, or you may be able to use a "CSM-off" build of your BIOS.

To install fwts in an Oneiric live USB image:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:firmware-testing-team/ppa-fwts-stable
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install fwts
