Attendees: Trevor Tao, Linda, Davelet, Mark, Charles,
Jackie Huang, Steve G., Scott L.
1. Generic Topics
- 1.1 Split
package list between repositories (ISO and container images)
- Separation
of the list is done per Davlet.
- AI: Devlet
will check the documentation on package list.
- 1.2 Log
into the git before download the source.
- How to
pass the credential through the tooling layer when log into git repo.
- workaround:
currently use repo sync outside of the containers.
- AI: Scott
to write up a feature request for the tool - file a request in Story Board.
- 1.3
Pre-patch ISO (Luis Sampaio?) (Carols Pocahy replacing Luis Barbosa)
- AI: to
invite Carlos Pocahy to this meeting to discuss Pre-patch ISO. [Done]
- Carlos
to confirm if Luis Sampaio is the person who will be working on this feature.
- Note:
Luis S. is out on leave. Need someone from the community to help with the feature.
- AI: follow
up on who will be picking up this feature request [lwang]
2. ARM support
- CENGN:
move to another provider. Early development don't expect anything for at least 2 months.
- Wind River
will be provide it. Will be available via WindRiver Lab.
- Ampere
provided 6 servers
- They like
to know where the new location is, so that they can send the servers to the new location?
- A: We
do NOT have rack space or power for the proposed equipment at this time. Ampere will have to find a location on their own.
- Jackie:
last week had a meeting with ARM. Steve G said will have the location in 2 weeks.
- The CENGN
lab is now moved to the current Ottawa office lab.
- 6 Ampere
servers will go to where the CENGN lab is going to be. 2 for build, 4 for testing.
- Can the
community support the lab?
- AI: ARM
is still waiting on a location to host these servers. AI: Steve is help looking for a location to host these servers.
- AI: who
from the community can help set up these servers? and support the CI/CD on ARM
platform
- b. Porting
still in progress (Jackie)
- finished
all packages built, started with StartlingX 8.0 master for ARM.
- Some kernel
modules don't work
- QEMU is
not working yet. Waiting on kernel up-rev, then and see if QEMU can be fixed then.
- For ARM
Build, already push the container image for ARM arch. and push them to docker hub, and startlingX.
- Test on
simplex, duplex, Low latency profile, standard control, 2 kernels, and 2 storage nodes.
- Packages
for x86_64 are in CNGN, need to push ARM packages there.
- Secureboot
is disabled for now. Will do it in the future.
- ELF SDK
is used to build image. Need to push the SDK to CNGN, no permission to push to CNGN yet, it is on local disk.
- Need to
change meta-lat layer for ELF SDK, but want to link the task to different repo, but can't.
- meta-lat
layer is not in the StartlingX repo, but its in github repo. fork it.. do a pull request to github lab for any changes.
- meta-lat
used is with the WR's repo, not community one. Will migrate later.
- How to
moderate source code, add the machine-type = aarch 64/arm, add another name for UIO for ARM.
- Package
name: Jackie is changing the naming mechanism from x86_64 to arm64. Use hard coded name.
- AI: Send
a couple package's name for code review.
- Branch
Name: the branching name. How to build ARM branch in addition to X86_64. [Meeting ended here due to time constraints]
- 'Build
server stats' email, Scott replied to the email on the mailing list:
- Build
server recommendation: At least 4 disks, and 12 T storage space, 128 G memory. possible ram disk for builds
- AI#5 Test
server config: Scott will check with QA team to provide needed info.
3.0 StartlingX 8.0
- SPEC from
Chuck on OSTree generation on the controller, pending review.
- Work is
being done, but the SPEC will need to be rewritten. Deferred.
