Linux UEFI Validation Project v2.4-rc2 release
by Megha Dey
Hello,
This is to announce the release of LUV v2.4-rc2. It includes the usual
updates to yocto, meta-oe, various test suites kernel version and bug
fixes.
This release comes about 7 months after our last release. We have been
working on shifting LUV from being a fork of the yocto project to
maintaining a meta-luv layer only git repository. We will have a
separate git which will pull all the other required layers from the
open-embedded project to build the final LUV image. This would make
maintaining the project easier, make the project more open for others
to contribute and ensure that the project builds on ARM platforms. We
have been in the process of getting this project approved internally
and it seems to be taking quite a while.
=== Updates:
1. updated changes from the poky and meta-openembedded repos. (New
branch warrior)
2. updated the Linux kernel version to 5.1
3. updated FWTS to v19.06.00
4. updated chipsec to v1.3.7
5. The LUV project was successfully compiled on ThunderX Workstation
natively.
=== Bug Fixes
1. Fixed all the issues which arose as a result of the above updates.
2. If reboots-tests are enabled, an extra directory was created in the
results folder.
3. On certain systems, systemd failed to use ttyS0 as Standard Output
=== Features
1. Update script to modify LUV parameters
2. Splash and frame buffer support was added to the ARM LUV image. The
graphics testing was done on a ThunderX2 WorkStation
== Binary images for x86:
The release images for x86 (disk and network) are available at
https://download.01.org/linux-uefi-validation/v2.4/
=== Known issues
1. Bits is not running on 32 bit systems. Looks like this has started
after we updated grub from v2.0 to v2.02.
2. Netconsole in bits does not work if the listener is on a different
subnet compared to the host.
3. When running netconsole, we only see logs from chipsec and ndctl
test suites
