Open Source Firmware Conference 2025

Arm SystemReady Band Compliance: A Hands-On Workshop

Arm SystemReady band compliance is a foundation for enabling the installation and boot of generic off-the-shelf operating systems. This hands-on workshop guides participants through the process of validating Arm-based platforms for SystemReady Band compliance. Attendees will learn how to set up test environments, run open-source compliance test suites (ACS), and interpret results aligned with standards such as BSA, SBSA, and SBBR. The session will use an open platform (RPi4 or Radxa Orion O6) and open-source firmware to demonstrate real-world scenarios, common issues, and best practices. Participants will gain practical knowledge to integrate compliance testing into their development workflows and prepare their platforms for SystemReady band compliance.
