[utwg] FW: FWTS presentation for today's UTWG meeting

[Uma Parepalli]

I am interested in the devices managed by the open source UEFI NVMe Driver
and Windows 8.1 built-in / in box NVMe Driver.
Such timing information from OS vendors will help the IHV community in
fine tuning the firmware and drivers for faster execution
as expected by the OS vendors.
Thank you,
Uma

Hi Uma,

I do not think there is a single answer for all devices, as it may really
depends on each device driver. Do you have a specific device in mind?

FWTS has an mail list (fwts-devel at lists.ubuntu.com) which I also included
in this mail loop. Other maintainers may provide better answer than the
above.

Cheers,
Alex Hung
