By file dates, it looks like last release was in 2009:

Wikipedia says last release was in 2008:

Last commits appear to be around 2012:

In English webforum for support, there's 1 msg from 2015, most are from
2014 or earlier:

It looks like they've moved on to another project, Einarc:

BTW, Yocto-based LUVos (Linux UEFI Validation) distro, especially it's
LUV-live release is probably the best hardware diagnostic distro these
days. It bundles BIOS BITS, FTWS, CHIPSEC, and has additional tests.
Created -- and actively maintained -- by Intel, targets BIOS/UEFI
systems. Linaro is in the middle of porting it -- and its bundled tools
-- to AArch64. Debian needs CHIPSEC package at least.
