VT-d Firmware Test Kit 1.0

VT-d Firmware Test Kit is a validation and diagnostics suite for Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d). It helps firmware and platform engineers, system integrators, and security/virtualization teams verify that IOMMU features are correctly exposed and configured in system firmware, reducing DMA-related risks and improving reliability for device passthrough and SR-IOV workloads.

Key capabilities:

• Parses and validates ACPI DMAR structures, including DRHD units, RMRR regions, and device scopes, to detect inconsistencies and common misconfigurations.
• Checks enablement and correctness of DMA remapping and interrupt remapping to ensure robust isolation and compatibility with modern interrupt models.
• Assesses PCIe topology and isolation features (for example, ACS) that affect IOMMU containment boundaries.
• Exercises core VT-d paths with targeted tests to catch functional issues that can impact virtualization, passthrough, and hot-plug scenarios.
• Produces clear, actionable reports with pass/fail results, warnings, and remediation guidance; supports scripting and automation for regression testing.

Typical use cases:

• Firmware bring-up and pre-release validation for servers, workstations, and embedded platforms.
• Host readiness checks for virtualization stacks that rely on IOMMU protection and device passthrough.
• Security audits focused on minimizing DMA attack surfaces for internal devices and external peripherals.

Notes:

• Requires VT-d-capable Intel platforms with the feature enabled in firmware.
• Some tests may require administrative privileges.
• The kit audits and exercises features; it does not modify firmware settings.
