# AGENDA
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting hardware to people -- Update
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* There are 3 components;
|
|
|
|
|
* AC922
|
|
|
|
|
* Available for sale now for under $5K! [Buy](https://www-store.shop.ibm.com/shops/ips/product/server-18335-model-gth)
|
|
|
|
|
* 1 is in Rochester
|
|
|
|
|
* 1 is in Australia
|
|
|
|
|
* Loaner from IBM Poland to Antmicro is in process
|
|
|
|
|
* Any further action on aquiring AC922s?
|
|
|
|
|
* Antmicro is purchasing one and should have it soon
|
|
|
|
|
* VanTosh will also be purchasing at least one
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Interposer
|
|
|
|
|
* 6 pieces. Parts for 4 more are in Rochester
|
|
|
|
|
* Next step is to have them built
|
|
|
|
|
* 2 are in Rochester
|
|
|
|
|
* 2 are in Australia
|
|
|
|
|
* Delivered
|
|
|
|
|
* 2 are en route to Antmicro
|
|
|
|
|
* Reports are these have been delivered.
|
|
|
|
|
* Looking for confirmation. Have not confirmed yet.
|
|
|
|
|
* Todd to provide further information on tracking.
|
|
|
|
|
* DC-SCM board -- Need a bring-up plan
|
|
|
|
|
* 4 boards, but only 3 have FPGAs
|
|
|
|
|
* Update is Google is providing some to Antmicro. Shipping soon.
|
|
|
|
|
* Also attempting to get some from China
|
|
|
|
|
* Plan to have 10 total when the FPGAs arrive.
|
|
|
|
|
* Need to be tested
|
|
|
|
|
* Update: Australia can get into the plant, so best may be to send 1 DC-SCM to Australia for bringup in parallel with the Antmicro bringup.
|
|
|
|
|
* Need general smoke test, RAM, ethernet test, GPIOs
|
|
|
|
|
* Once the FPGAs come, they will test and ship to Australia
|
|
|
|
|
* Need to start working on getting Lattice parts for the DC-SCM board. Michael will take the lead on this.
|
|
|
|
|
* PCBs sent in for production for lattice FPGA
|
|
|
|
|
* Still need memory and ethernet parts
|
|
|
|
|
* Marshall offered to help if there are issues getting FPGAs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## OCP Summit
|
|
|
|
|
* Want to have a "LibreBMC" setup for OCP Summit booth
|
|
|
|
|
* Plan to ship from Rochester. Need a DC-SCM card in Rochester.
|
|
|
|
|
* Likely will not have a live demo there, but we would like to have the hardware at the booth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* LibreBMC was approved for a 5 minute "lightening" presentation.
|
|
|
|
|
* Need to determine the key points to make and who will present
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Want a demo to be videotaped for display at the booth. Need to work on where/how. Australia or Antmicro would be the best options.
|
|
|
|
|
* Antmicro to consider this option.
|
|
|
|
|
* Antmicro will help.
|
|
|
|
|
* What to show on the demo
|
|
|
|
|
* BMCweb UI.
|
|
|
|
|
* Lots of sensors/etc could be shown.
|
|
|
|
|
* For a live demo, could just power on the DC-SCM card?
|
|
|
|
|
* What could be shown without power on the board
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Presentation of LibreBMC to the OCP DC-SCM working group has been moved to the public meeting on the first week of October.
|
|
|
|
|
* Todd to create initial set of charts
|
|
|
|
|
* Antmicro to update and co-present
|
