Ricardo Neri of Intel announced LUV version 2.1-RC1. There is now 32-bit support! The 64-bit image has network boot support.

(Unless you’ve compiled CHIPSEC yourself, you’ve probably never run CHIPSEC on a 32-bit system, this’ll be a good first time to test it out.)

Highlights:

* Naresh Bhat reworked our kernel recipe to improve readability and
maintainability.
* Megha Dey worked on bumping the kernel to v4.5 and updating the
testing and management tool for non-volatile DIMMs, NDCTL, to v50.
* Sai Praneeth Prakhya updated the kernel configuration to include
support for X2APIC. This is useful mainly when booting servers where we
can have lots interrupt lines.
* Write errors seen in GRUB when running bits due to a buffer alignment
problem was resolved.
* A new HTML test report is included. Now, in a single HTML file, we
include all the test information that previously was spread in separate
files. Every single test case now contains all of its execution details.
By clicking at any given test case, the report is expanded to reveal the
test details. Also, test names are colored by their pass/fail/skip
status, making them easier to spot.
* Miscellaneous bug and warning fixes at runtime and build time
