What it is The Linux-ready Firmware Developer Kit is an open source tool to test how well Linux works together with the firmware (BIOS) of your machine. The kit consists of a bootable CD that runs a series of tests and then presents the results on the screen for interactive inspection. The tests all check an aspect of the firmware that Linux uses or depends on for optimal operation. Who it is for The primary target for the kit is firmware development and test teams at companies that produce their own system BIOS. With this kit, we provide these teams a tool that is easy to learn and use to do a basic set of Linux-related sanity checks on the firmware code during the various phases of the development cycle. In addition, we hope this tool is useful for kernel developers and Linux distributors in diagnosing bug reports when there is a suspicion of a bad interaction between Linux and the firmware. Participate We welcome all participation in this open source project. Feedback, bug reports, code contributions, and suggestions for new tests are welcomed. We anticipate the kernel development community helping this tool become even more useful by giving us feedback on those tests which are needed the most.
