Today Alex Hung of Canonical announced the availability of FWTS (FirmWare TestSuite) version 15.06.00. FTWS is useful to determine if your system has operational hardware/firmware. Besides command line tests, it has a curses front-end UI, and a FTWS-live distribution; FWTS tests are also included in LUVos, though I’m not sure if LUV is synced to the latest FWTS yet.
New Features:
* lib: acpi: add an acpi category
* live-image/fwts-frontend-text: add selections of acpi and uefi tests
* acpi: add tests to acpi category
* acpi: fwts-tests: Remove redundant tailing space and update fwts-tests
* auto-packager: mkpackage.sh: remove lucid
* auto-packager: mkpackage.sh: add wily
* acpi: Add SPCR ACPI table check (LP: #1433604)
* dmi: dmicheck: add 4 new DMI chassis types
