Queries Regarding Latest Test Suite Additions in RC0 Build

[smangali-qc]

HI @chetan-rathore ,

We observed that a few new test suites have been added to the RC0 build. While executing these test suites, we encountered multiple failures.
Could you please help us understand the expected behavior or requirements for these newly added test suites?

Network Boot:

[INFO] network_boot_checks
Fri Mar 6 05:12:33 UTC 2026
Image URL: PASSED (URL Found: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ARM-software/arm-systemready/main/SystemReady-devicetree-band/prebuilt_images/network_boot_image/acs-network-boot-image.img)
EFI System Partition (ESP): FAILED (not detected on the system; network boot requires a valid ESP)
Network_Boot_Result: FAILED

Smbios test:
Cannot get SMBIOS Table
is this appaiclbe for DT systems aswell ?

SCMI test :

SCMI ACS Test Log:\n
[ 23.151373] init.sh[609]: **** SCMI Compliance Suite ****

Hi @smangali-qc,

The SystemReady requirements specification https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0109/latest/ provides details on requirements for each band and if the requirement is mandatory/recommendation/optional.

Network Boot : This is recommendation and checks if system is supporting required features for network boot.
The https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-systemready/blob/main/docs/network_boot_guide.md explains the testing methodology.

SMBIOS : This is a recommendation for DT band, currently it is checking presence of SMBIOS table 3.

SCMI : This is optional extension for DT band and should be run manually if system is supporting SCMI interface.

Thanks,
Chetan
