May 17, 2023 Attendees: Charles, Steve, Trevor Tao, Jackie Huang, Davlet, Linda 1. 2. General Topics 3. ARM Support * Ampere Server Support * new features such as swapping kernel, kernel module for in-tree modules need community member to support and maintain. * HPE Ampere server - 1 Altra 1x80 Cores ARM (location NA) * Already set up * build environment * VM test environment * Porting is in progress, and built pkgs from master branch and a bootable ISO image * 28 packages failed built (work around by removing them from ISO image) * Install and work on standard kernel * RT kernel still failed to build. * a few package will need help from engineering team for remaining packages, ELF packages, kernel, and kernel modules, specifically rt-kernel will need help from engineering. * For ARM Build, we also need to re-generate container image for ARM arch. For container images, we push them to docker hub, and startlingX. * AI#1: Sent email to StartlingX mailing list to get tmp access to docker hub. * Packages for x86_64 are in CNGN, need to push ARM packages there.. how to do so? * ELF SDK is used to build image. Need to push the SDK to CNGN. * AI#2 Only built the SDK, then send email to Davelet Panch (or StartlingX mailing list) * How to moderate source code, add the machine-type = aarch 64/arm, add another name for UIO for ARM. * AI#3 need to discuss how to use these naming mechanism. * AI#4 also the branching name. How to build ARM branch in addtion to X86_64. 4. StartlingX 8.0 * ISO size bigger than 4G, * Resolved with option parameters passing into ISO build. * SPEC to be written by Mark regarding new direction for the kernel, possibly to use the newer version of Debian kernel. * SPEC from Chuck on OSTree generation on the colltroller, pending review.
