Agenda

Yocto optimisation for TRS.

@Mikko Rapeli from Linaro will give an overview of some of the Yocto optimisations he's worked on for TRS - particularly around reducing size and complexity by flattening the tree and cleaning up the directory structure.

Open

• Tomas E: binary distribution of Yocto is a big of a challenge for Xilinx and they like to see this move forward. Discussion started with Grant

• Tomas E: Developers and development cycle typically start with Ubuntu but when they move to production, the focus shifts to Yocto and that’s a very large jump

Virtio unification proposal

ST, Xilinx & Bill Mills will outline their thoughts on how similarities between Stratos's Virtio shared services requirements and OpenAmp coprocessor management could drive a unification of architecture.

Open

• Trilok S: Qualcomm focused on PCI and avoided MMIO. Something to think about

• Trilok S: There are many hombrew RTOSs that could benefit from this so having a liberal license will help adoption

  • Bill M: OpenAmp is already included in a lot of homebrew RTOSs

  • Bill M: PCI might be overkill for co-processors. PCI works well for hypervisors type cases though

  • Tomas E: in the Industrial and Automotive world, the MMIO approach is preferred due to the constraints. However, PCI is more suitable for Automotive

AOB

• None were raised
