|
* Toshaan is working on getting them shipped to the EU. Waiting for input back from IBM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

## LiteEth upstreaming
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Not to be discussed this week. Anton will discuss at the next meeting.
|

|
|
## Agenda items for this week
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Lattice has expressed interest in joining this work group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Antmicro does board for both Xilinx Artix 7 and Lattice ECP 5. We are focussing on Artix, but we should get the ECP 5 work going as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Check on LPC slave on Kestrel. Can it be opened so we can use it?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 2 options:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Straight Apache would need to wait 2 months or so for the launch of the board. Everything would be opened up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Is 2 months acceptable? Todd to investigate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Use LGPL now for the LPC slave only. However, this requires TSC approval that will be difficult to get. This is not an option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Should we consider using buildroot instead of yocto?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* This is really about booting a full linux distribution (not Yocto).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* This should be considered down the road, but let's split our resources at this point.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Should be looking also at updating packages, not the full BMC load. Raptor would consider putting resources behind this effort. Yocto may support this already.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Look at Paul's list of items to work on. What are our next priorities?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Tim A thinks linux on LiteX
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Tim A thinks focus on soft CPU. Smaller micro-watt. Goal is a 4 Core SMP complex on an Xilinx Artix 35T
