## New Topics?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* How do we get more people involved?
|
|
|
|
|
* Need to get ready images to consume by people
|
|
|
|
|
* Need LiteX-Hub support and integration
|
|
|
|
|
* Add more FPGA boards supports
|
|
|
|
|
* Get it running on Raspbery PI
|
|
|
|
|
* Then add some documentation
|
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* It was suggested that we should have a logo for libreBMC. Any thoughts from the team. Nice to have, but should not be a focus right now. **Any ideas on this yet?**
|
|
|
|
|
* **Open the software stack to the world**
|
|
|
|
|
* Step 1: Get the FPGA/DC-SCM card booting the AC922
|
|
|
|
|
* Step 2: Incorporate microwatt into lite-x natively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Step 3: Enable others
|
|
|
|
|
* Need others to be able to re-create the results.
|
|
|
|
|
* Build all pieces -- Core, peripherals, OpenBMC,etc
|
|
|
|
|
* Need official OpenBMC project and a makefile, bitbake/etc
|
|
|
|
|
* Step 4: Include the firmware into the CI infrastructure
|
|
|
|
|
* Step 5: Enhancements -- hoping for further industry participation
|
|
|
|
|
* Full FPGA support (I2C, FSI, etc) More than just bit banging
|
|
|
|
|
* Resource usage -- Shrink micro-watt to get 4 cores.
|
|
|
|
|
* See requirements from Tim A. on last call
|
|
|
|
|
* Full OpenBMC support expected for a standard server
