The Linux-ready Firmware Developer Kit team is pleased to announce the
release R2 of the kit.
This release is mostly very heavy with bug-fixes,
infrastructure re-org. to make it easier for outside developers to
write & contribute plugins, and of course, tons of documentation. A few
new tests and features have been added, including things you've asked
for
such as ssh-upload and a text-based version of the results.
The Linux-ready Firmware Developer Kit is a tool to test how well Linux
works together with the firmware (BIOS or EFI) of your machine, and is
designed for use by both firmware development teams and Linux kernel
hackers to prevent and diagnose firmware bugs.
