Here are some brief notes from the meeting.

 

If nothing else as a showcase on how much we miss Nathalie when she is on vacation 😉

 

Krzysztof Kepa – GE

Mathieu Poirier – Linaro

Etsam Anjum – Mentor

Anrnoud Pouliquen – ST

Loic Pallardy - ST

Suman Anna - TI

Dan Milea – Wind River

Mark Dapoz – Wind River

Tomas Evensen – Xilinx

Stefano Stabellini – Xilinx

Bruce Ashfield – Xilinx

Ed Mooring – Xilinx

Ben Levinsky - Xilinx

 

Stefano went through slides.

Overall idea:

1. Specify remoteproc channels with minimal information in System-DT in a way that is as common as possible for all vendors.
   In particular, we are avoiding to have to specify the same memory regions in more than one place. A resource group is specially marked to contain most information.
2. Use Lopper to create the vendor specific remoteproc specification
   Generating reserved-memory, etc. information that has duplicate information.
   For the time being, no plans to unify the vendor specific information that goes into the traditional device tree for Linux
3. Later (or in parallel), but without making it a gating item, start discussions on what we can do to unify the vendor specific information in the traditional DT

 

Discussion about how TI and ST might generate their specific information from this specification.

 

Stefano to send out examples and slides.

Ben: Xilinx backend to Lopper is upstreamed and available as an example. Might change as upstreaming continues.

 

Question:

* How do we configure VirtIO?
