Minutes

  • OpenBMC - summary of the email thread (Joakim Bech)
    • Gaps
      • Arm vs x86 server is Host Interface and Host Power/Reset Control
        • there is no common hardware design, so OpenBMC needs different porting for different Arm servers (Gilbert, Arm)
      • SBMR spec: M1/M2 is one somewhat good shape?
        • No comments
    • Upstreaming
      • Are there sufficient upstreaming efforts for the Arm architectures?
        • No comments
    • Developer support
      • Is source code available to developers (open source? proprietary?)?
        -- SCP / MCP are not necessarily open source from vendors.
        -- Arm's reference code is open source.
        • Zephyr can be used to prototype the FW of SatMC FW (SatMC in SBMR should equivalent to MCP) (Gilbert, Arm)
        • Using Arduino Due instead of real MCP (Gilbert, Arm)
      • Do we have the necessary hardware to be able to do development? What hardware? How can developers get hold of it?
      • Are specifications available to developers?
        • No comments
      • What debugging capabilities exist for developers?
        • No comments
    • Testing
      • What kind of testing do we have for OpenBMC?
        • There is a repo for OpenBMC test automation, which is based on Robot framework to run test cases through BMC network interface to verify different OpenBMC features (Gilbert, Arm)
      • Is the testing sufficient?
        • No comments
      • Does it require hardware or can we do testing using emulation or similar?
        • OpenBMC support running on QEMU exists. I.e., OpenBMC test automation should be able to talk to QEMU instead real hardware to run its test cases (Gilbert, Arm)
    • Security
      • Cloud Security Industry Summit published a report (A Case for a Trustworthy BMC) where they list gaps in OpenBMC when it comes to security. Anything in that report that we should pay attention to?
        • No comments


  • OVSS update (Ryan Arnold (Deactivated)Leonardo Garcia)
    • Where are we with the OVSS proposal?


  • Linaro Ecosystem Dashboard Dashboard (Joakim Bech)
    • Content
      • What content are we looking for?
        • Download links?
        • Whether Arm is supported or not?
        • Release history?
        • Where and what CI is in use?
        • What optimizations?
    • Staffing, initial baseline and maintaining it
      • LDCG struggles to find staffing for this. Linaro have tried finding people for it internally, but we're struggling right now. 
      • Getting a first baseline would probably take ~1 month or so.
      • Keeping things up-to-date, will take a person a few hours every month after we've established a baseline.
      • We have discussed scripting things, which would help to some extent, but a human will be needed to fix broken links etc all the time.
  • AOB
