Election of TSC Chair

  • Yoshi Kobayashi (Toshiba) has been elected by the voting member of the TSC as the chair, to serve till end of March, 2018.

Technical roadmap and milestones

SLTS kernel

  • Goal: Set Up a SLTS kernel
  • Status: 4.4.69-cip4 has released
  • Action items:
    • (Ben): Review kernel features and make a list of features which may not able to support by CIP
    • Most of CIP members would like to have Overlay FS in CIP kernel
    • [Agustin]
      • The proposal is that Ben H. finishes the overview first and then we evaluate the features that are currently not supported in order to prioritise them.
      • Ben H. can work on those features. My suggestion is that instead of him doing the work, he acts as reviewer/mentor of Members kernel hackers.

CIP testing Phase 1

  • Goal: A single developer can test CIP kernel at their desk.
  • Status: For B@D, need to clarify OSS license
  • Action items:
    • OSS license issue has to be fixed before release
      • Need to revise announcement document and descriptions to avoid to use “software”. Instead of “software”, we should use “tools” in any document
    • Make an announcement
    • [Sangorrin] Please consider adding the proxy support and port number patches I sent (e-mail: Problems installing “Board at desk”).
      • [Agustin] noted. We will if we haven’t.
    • LF will go back to Scott at the Linux Foundation to determine if the replacement of the term “software” with the term “tools” is sufficient.

CIP testing Phase2

  • Goal
    • Functional tests are working on CIP reference boards
    • More tests with boards
    • Sharing test results
    • More close to KerneCI and LAVA (e.g. Upstreaming)
      • KernelCI is moving to Docker. Shall we contribute to it?
      • [Sangorrin] in case it’s done, use two separated Dockerfiles.
  • Action items
    • Start to use board test, continue to consider collaborations and share inputs, outputs and configurations through the mail list (to be created). Also, utilize a repo to make the logs available, if that is found to be scalable with a plan for alternative storage.
    • Define test sets. Provide a checklist and discuss.
    • Collaborate with upstream projects
      • KernelCI
      • Lava
        • [Sangorrin] Fuego includes LAVA support now.
        • [Sangorrin] Proxy support is needed in LAVA.
      • Fuego
        • [Sangorrin] I added CIP kernel tests to Fuego (build test, kselftests)
      • [Sangorrin] Testing BOF session on Friday 14:00~14:50
      • [Sangorrin] CVE tests were added to LTP recently.
      • [Sangorrin] I will contribute to LTP with support for stable kernel versions.
    • More boards for testing
    • Identifying how to share the test results

Members reviewed Action-2 on https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/ciptesting?rev=1496115658

Proposal: Move to Action-2 for next CIP testing
Motion to approve: Wolfgang Mauerer
Second: Takehisa Katayama

  • Action items:
    • Start CI with customized rootf: Siemens & Toshiba
    • Renesas board support need to be added

RT kernel preparation

  • Goal: Merge RT patch with CIP kernel for each CIP release then test it.
  • License: GPLv2 for CIP kernel + RT
  • Status: Daniel Wagner is working for this topic
  • Action items:
    • For RT Kernel prep, ask Steven R. to assist Daniel W.
  • Current state
    • CIP maintain RT and non-RT
    • Issue: how to reduce effort to maintain two kernels
  • Action(DW): Learn how Steven R. maintains the current stable-rt Kernel
  • Action(TSC): CIP needs to define the process to release the CIP Kernel with RT patch.

Base-layer discussion

  • U-boot policy
  • Will move to next TSC session

Real-time Linux Project

    • Yoshi asked to RTL and they can accept boards from CIP for testing
      • Will CIP provide a hardware for testing?
      • They have Beaglebone Black. But they don’t have Renesas RZ/G1M
        • AI: Yoshi already mentioned Renesas RZ/G1M. Need to confirm by TSC
    • The process to add the board is the follows
