Minutes

  • Project updates

    • System Ready Compliant Platform Collaboration (SRCPC)

      • Continue working on the patch set that removes device tree requirement from EDK2 on SBSA machine type emulated by QEMU.

      • @Former user (Deleted) became one the maintainers of the QemuSbsa platform in EDK2 due to his recent contributions to eliminate the need of device tree in the SBSA reference implementation in TF-A, EDK2, and QEMU.

    • Big Data and Data Science (BDDS)

      • Roadmap updated to take into account the reduction in the team that happened in the end of last year.

      • Trying to find more modern machines for BigTop CI.

      • Huawei has been working on a BigTop Manager that they want to contribute back to the community in the near future. The objective is to substitute Ambari, that has lots of proprietary code from other companies.

    • Tensorflow (TENS)

      • Tensorflow 2.16.1 released. The Arm64 build has been done by Google.

      • A good portion of the issues Linaro found and fixed were programming issues that triggered errors when building with GCC but not when building with LLVM. Linaro was the only company testing builds with GCC in the community.

      • Linaro decided to stop working on the Tensorflow project with the release of version 2.16.1 that happened earlier this month. Impacted members have been communicated previously about this decision.

    • Deploy CCA on Arm Platforms (DCAP)

      • Linaro's team is getting involved with Kata containers development on Arm64, as Arm is not working on this anymore and this is a requirement for Confidential Containers (CoCo).

      • We have integrated the majority of the build process for our software stack into TRS build process (QEMU still pending).

      • Last month, we demonstrated the software stack running with a BusyBox in the host and in the guest. We are now able to run the same software stack with TRS and Ubuntu, and we are working with Huawei to enable openEuler as well. Fedora is also in our plans.

      • Investigating how to enable RME support into QEMU SBSA machine type.

      • Remote attestation verification service: talked to potential partners. Even though this is an interesting area that is gathering attention (look at some of the OC3 talks on this subject), Linaro wasn't able to find companies willing to work together to develop this kind of service so far.
