Attendees

  • Alex Graf (SUSE)
  • Grant Likely (Arm)
  • Bill Mills (TI)
  • Tom Rini (Konsulko)
  • Peter Robinson (Red Hat)
  • Daniel Thompson (Linaro)

Roundtable:

  • Grant - going to dedicate next week to EBBR work
  • Daniel - No significant progress yet on defining level1, level2, etc

Do we talk about levels before they are defined in the spec?

  • We'll leave it for now - might just confuse people

RFC discussion

  • Draft requirements for removable media firmware files (firmware files in ESP)
  • Draft recommendations for fixed media firmware files
  • Require a firmware partition separate from ESP
    • Use block oriented callback IO
    • OS is not allowed to modify (don't mount it)
  • Talk about behaviour of eMMC boot partitions -- redundancy? Wear leveling?
  • Need an ABI for runtime firmware callback to OS for variable storage -- file oriented; common case is store to platform's firmware directory in ESP or fixed media firmware partition.
  • Trigger thread on mailing list and cc: Ard
