Agenda

• Previous meeting minutes:  2020-06-04 SmartNIC SC Meeting Agenda/Minutes

• Review of contribution

• Opportunity to consolidate proposal

• AOB

Minutes

• Which proposals might achieve critical mass of members/resourcing

• Jonathan looking to clarify how proposals can be consolidated.

• Does staging sequentially enable a larger number of engineers focused on specific part of the proposal rather than separately in parallel.

• Discussion on the number of engineers required for each sequential step. Too many cooks to enable standards progression.

• Standards may need to be elements of being in parallel to develop the standard alongside investigation of attributes of the goal.

• Aim to develop a use-case but not a single goal - PoC. Possible VPP or OVS use-cases.

• Agreement to utilising the sequential approach and develop a schedule/story

• Initial approach to begin with software model until hardware becomes available.

• Intro to LEDGE - OpenEmbedded based reference platform utilising Fedora IoT.

• Linaro has extensive CI resources for testing

• Invited attendees to volunteer to take the next step in firmware development

• Review of updates for lifecycle (bring up, update,shutdown operations), security (ensure non-malicious activities and can support security application functions)

• Security should be a key component throughout the whole development, not an afterthought to be revisited later.

• Storage update - to expand the usecase and have a development system available asap.

• Futurewei to have an engineering resource available in September

• Network update to have a VPP usecase - distributed network functions

• 5G Placeholder currently no input but leave it there for possible NXP additions.

• Timeline reviewed

• NXP very interested in supporting the SmartNIC work and providing platforms for testing

• Futurewei provide positive response also

• Feedback suggests this is not a 'must have' but 'would like to have' project

• Huawei would like instructions on how to build an on-premise version of the CI environment and development environment
