28 June 2018

Attendees

• Alex Graf (SUSE)
• Rob Herring (Linaro)
• Grant Likely (Arm)
• Bill Mills (TI)
• Tom Rini (Konsulko)

Agenda:

• Talk about reference plaforms (Bill)
  • QEMU + example platforms was proposed

Notes

Grant is working on shared storage details

Bill wants to get the intro written by next week

Plan to tag a v0.6-pre release at the end of next week

SCT is now running on U-Boot

• Look at linaro U-Boot git to see the code
  • https://git.linaro.org/people/takahiro.akashi/u-boot.git/
  • Will be pushed out in the next week
  • Next need to get into U-Boot upstream
• Running on QEMU; but should work on any U-Boot platform
• Not full coverage yet. Problems with reboot
• SCT maintainers would love to have external contributions
• EBBR needs to define what parts of SCT are allowed to fail
  • Ask Leif and Ard
  • Alex is going to try and write something before next week.

Reference Platforms

• (Bill) Would like to say QEMU is our official reference platform
  • Define a few profiles for our likely use cases
    • Shared removable storage
    • Shared fixed storage
    • Separate storage
  • Then also list a bunch of physical example platforms
    • Ie. Raspberry Pi 3 (AArch64), Beaglebone (Aarch32), 96Boards, etc.
    • Not trying to be "king-making" by choosing platforms
• (Tom) Also supports QEMU because we can rather trivially provide it out for every architecture
• (Alex) what QEMU board models do we target?
  • (Tom) When possible - QEMU Generic (works for aarch32 & aarch64).
• Can probably use existing QEMU model, but will need to write some ROM Boot code for QEMU to demonstrate all the scenarios.
  • Might be able to use U-Boot SPL as Boot rom
• Need to include No-RTC as a scenario
