      All available here



      A bit info about patches themselves in Thomas own words

      "This is a totally different approach, but much more flexible and earlier.
      It provides the possibility to override any ACPI table (including for
      example
      static tables like FADT). You can override up to 10 tables, also
      individual
      SSDTs. Iirc it looks for the table signature on SSDTs and only overrides
      the matching ones. Before one had to glue DSDT and SSDTs together, provide
      acpi_no_auto_dsdt boot param -> it was really ugly up to impossible
      if you wanted to try to override SSDT tables."

          About Test Suite

          LinuxFirmware kit outdated It has old kernel/tools and not maintained anymore I guess it's requires live boot not standalone testing on a host system

          anway I found a new firmware test kit and it's standalone application for now maintained from via ubuntu kernel engineer
          and also it's supports UEFI firmware
          website : http://smackerelofopinion.blogspot.c...pi-health.html
          Launchpad : https://launchpad.net/~firmware-testing-team
          ArchLinux AUR : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39604
          installing on ubuntu 11.10 via "sudo apt-get install fwts" that's all

          I did a quick test via fwts(firmware test suite) with Acer Aspire 5315 host system is Ubuntu 11.10 kernel 3.0.0-13.21-generic 3.0.6
          results are : 327 passed, 47 failed, 1 warnings, 0 aborted, 79 skipped, 2 info only.

          I think it's better than other kit database should recreate via this kit

              Interesting. I'm fetching the image now. As soon as I find a free media I'll check it. Maybe it works better on a few machines where LFK v3 crashed during bootup.

              Though you can use the acpidump from the pmtools bundle on every installed Linux and lshw or dmidecode for the board and bios description. Of course if you don't have a Linux installation on the box you need something to boot from. The decompilation and recompilation gives varying results. On my box here I got more than 200 errors probably due to a syntax error in the decompiled version. Grhm. Need coding skills.
              Stop TCPA, stupid software patents and corrupt politicians!

                  *whistles* Awesome stuff that. I just dd'ed the image to an empty CF disk from my camera and booted from my card reader.

                  all tests on my Asus M4A78-E:
                  Summary: 59 passed, 29 failed, 0 warnings, 2 aborted.
                  Some of the FAILs receive a category, low, med, high.

                  the reassemly/compil. of DSDT showed the usual nearly 200 errors, most of them
                  Object does not exist ^ (LNK_) (with _ being a letter), probably a syntax messup somewhere, just lots of "xy does not exist", had the same problem when I dumped them manually and tried to reassemle them. Wish I had coding skills and could just fix stuff more easily.

                  One of the "aborted" tests was
                  "Cannot read microcode file /usr/share/misc/intel-microcode.dat"
                  Ha. Ha. Why does it expect to load intel microcode on an AMD machine?
                  Also the message reads like they had forgotten to include firmware blobs into the disk image file.

                  It also produced an interrupt storm on IRQ 19, thus disabling 19 and noting that as critical error, but my Gentoo kernel dmesg doesn't say anything about diabled IRQ 19. *shrugs*

                  And "incorrect checksum" as also seen on my manual dumps for the tables. Humm. I don't know much about it but I don't like it. Wrong checksum sounds always nasty.




                  How to get this test suite working hopefully quickly
                  Code:
                  wget  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/testing/maverick-desktop-i386-fwts.img
                  dd if=maverick-desktop-i386-fwts.img of=/dev/sd_
                  (replace _ with your letter for the USB media, and double check before you accidentally overwrite your / )
                  then fdisk /dev/sd_ and "a" 'make the sd_1 bootable), reboot and select the card reader to boot from.
                  wait some time until it finishes loading and gives you a VGA text menu
                  select tests, run them, wait, result will automatically be saved to the media (./fwts/today'sdate/somenumber/results.log), shutdown.
                  Reboot from HDD, go to Phoronix forums and post results.

                  edit:
                  I am currently taking data from my VIA C7, the FWTS offers also an xterm implementation (looks like the Gnome one) and other niceness. But apparently there is no acpidump installed. I just used the existing network connection from the box to apt-get install acpidump and then I could dump tables and acpixtract them. So maybe you need to do this for the full results. (I didn't find the tables and compilers in the results log or I was to quick an just missed that part.) I don't know if it is actually written to the USB media for later use, it writes a boot part and an ISO and the ISO is then being mounted as "cdrom" and loaded, but maybe it is writeable and the acpidump will stay for later use on offline machines. Otherwise it is probably possible to copy the binary to a free location on the USB media (I even have a whole partition added to it to save any data or take data with me).

                    results from the recent FWTS, all tests
                    FWTS Version V0.18.04 (built Wed Sep 15 10:41:31 BST 2010).

                    Summary: 54 passed, 11 failed, 0 warnings, 6 aborted.
                    note that the aborted ones seem to be mostly things that the CPU just did not support by HW because it just doesn't have that feature.
                    Also it was silly about its intel microcode.

                    One fail is from unreadable fan info. That is not really fair since the board has a super IO chip that iirc. doesn't provide monitoring functions but moreover it is completely fanless design anyway.
                    1 fail was with the HPET (does it have actually one?)
                    APIC Edge/Level Check brought 7 of the fails ( apicedge FAILED [MEDIUM]: test 1, Non-Legacy interrupt ## is incorrectly level triggered )
                    another "failed" came from a warning in the kernel log: klog Warning: Invalid length for Pm2ControlBlock: 16, using default 8 (20100428/tbfadt-607)
                    1 fail from Re-assemble DSDT


                    More stuff coming as soon as I have access to it. Hopefully I'll be designing a little AMD E-350 style box for my mom around xmas. Of course I'll give it some testing.

                    The good thing is that the FWTS provides you a really good means of bootable distro also opening a console and having acpidump (copy the files elsewhere to the filesystem for later use!) and stuff, it even gives you quite a whole live Ubuntu so you could even fire up a browser and post instantly results.

                    Umm, does anybody know if ACPI is also used on ARM arch? I have this Beagleboard here...
                    Stop TCPA, stupid software patents and corrupt politicians!
