Ivan Hu of Canonical has announced the release of FWTS (FirmWare TestSuite), to 5.09.00. FWTS is a set of command line tools for Ubuntu-based and related Linux systems. It also includes a curses-based interface frontend, which is also the default UI to FWTS-live. FWTS is also included in LUV, the Linux UEFI Validation distribution, but it may be a few days until this latest release has been updated in LUV-live.
