2 ACPI/SMBIOS testing using biosbits
10 executes the bios components such as acpi and smbios tables directly through
11 acpica bios interpreter (a freely available C based library written by Intel,
13 operating system getting involved in between. Bios-bits has python integration
15 python instead of bash-ish (grub's native scripting language).
22 Another issue is that we cannot exercise bios components such as ACPI and
32 bios-bits very attractive for testing bioses. More details on the inspiration
