Meeting Minutes

6-Jan-2026

Attendees: Adina, Roger, Carlos, Jorge, Steven, Jared, Santiago, Richard, Kelly

  • ALR: PCI_Init_for_X86
    1. Short-term: moving the PCI initialization out of the PAL and into a PRL - this is needed for Zhangmen
    2. Long-term: identify which reference BSPs have an issue; start with GRUB investigation
  • ME-Boot status:
    1. Priority: updates for x86_64 in order to deliver modular nai68int6-x86_64 early in January
    2. Carlos: NAI68int6-x86_64 and come-ctl6-x86_64 ME-boot are both modularized (not relocatable)! ToDo: Documentation
    3. Carlos: Raptor-lake ME-Boot
  • ME-PAL status: for nai68int6-x86_64 and come-ctl6-x86_64
    1. thread and window timers are stored in pdata; testing in progress on timing
  • ToDo Kelly: talk to Richard about getting more TGL boards on the Farm; NUC w/PCIe support + BIOS/GRUB
  • ToDo Kelly: follow up with Richard on support case 2495; Carlos provided a proposed solution that can only be tested by the customer
  • Jared:
    1. PCIe scanner, config and kmil for the custom s32g274 - found register information in the NXP documentation! Need Lauterbach attached to the S32G2.
    2. zhangmen-s32g2 production BSP due date (TBD)
    3. Task on HOLD: Propagate PCR:16805 through all active aarch64 BSPs, and PCR:16824 across all BSPs (dependent on kernel-11.7.0) - in progress
  • Loewen:
    1. ToDo Kelly: determine which boards we need to perform kernel RFS: custom h/w or does another A72 RFS count?
  • Calabogie:
    1. Raptor Lake BSP for Curtiss-wright/Calabogie
    2. Santiago: looks like serial driver isn't working due to voltage difference from tiger lake; serial needed to access BIOS (which needs updating)
    4. zhangmen-tgl bare metal BSP - stable date is TBD (dependent on h/w) - in progress

NEW TOPIC:

  1. ALR: Tiger-lake BSPs have a 1% timer error. This PAL needs rewritten. This looks really bad to customers. (Santiago wants to do this).
  2. ALR: When adding multiple paras that are specific to a specific conformance, try using a restricted-domain. e.g. <restricted-domain type="include" conformance="come-ctl6">
  3. SL: Need a mercury board to test the new bsp. The nai-ultrascales only have 2 cores, but the customer has some with 4 cores.

   No documentation for developing lwip drivers 
   Feuer/Diehl can dump/configure PCI space with U-Boot. Does not survive transition to Deos for unknown reason – support case. 
   Customer thinks buying Deos engineering experience in many areas, including pcie/lwip. 
   Need pre modular boot for current training. Focus on modular boot for future.
  • Dpaa2 driver updates - move this to driver team wiki
   Dpaa2 driver does not support multi-stack or multi-home 
  Need multi interface for ulan 
   Who pays for the work? Ulan is writing their own bsp. Bring up to staff.

ToDo: How does modular boot documentation change t2080 UG getting updates for vpx3-152? Should we have platforms with UG that describes differences, instead of in the base BSP UG? Should a base BSP be more generic and describe family and then a section for all platforms including the initial primary platform?

    • Support case for coreavi - they have different h/w (different combination of grub, h/w and Deos BSP); Eliecer to attend meeting on 3/26/2025 to try a fix. If it doesn't work, Kelly to follow up with Bill on the h/w issue.
    • Secure Boot for x86_64 and ARM; Kelly reminded Laurent we need documentation from Intel
    • QoS sample code (PAL interceptor) for Throne; stable by 6/20/2025

  10. Technical Discussion
    • Phased Boot wiki
    • x86 support removed, some changes in common files "may" impact x86_64 dprintf functions
    • Keep an eye out for common directory being emptied before commit (possibly related to build -c?). Let Adina know if you reproduce this.
    • Build newer ansi with at least "O1" optimization. If not, there will be a build error.
    • ToDo Peter: reach out to Bill to find out where the training labs/videos are, share link/location with BSP team
    • ToDo: check on Mercury board where the U-Boot parameters are passed. This may be needed for Octavo, and might be useful moving from flavors to platforms.

  • Adina: leave h/w booting 32-bit or 64-bit? Ideally have two targets when supporting both architectures
    1. ToDo Tyler: identify h/w needed for consistency (Kelly to follow up with Tyler)
  • Loewen Verf
    • All PAL reqts should be tracing to tests. Adina thought build was still showing some holes. Only hole should be analysis. Possibly holes are just in boot.
    • Test 22 not fully testing. Need more variation in Window timer tests.
      • Notes say 2.17 sec largest WAT. Test is able to use 20sec. Code may support 2174 seconds. More than 20sec standard apps have issues.
      • Tests that use timing conversion functions will need update
    • Moving onto test procedures. Peter investigating test. Santiago complete 040; moving to 088
    • Can start reviewing test procedures.
    • Double check any historical test procedures.
    • How interact with Lauterbach for boot tests
      • GK may have some info on resetting A72 through R5 core with Lauterbach

    • Celestial modification to tests used in loewen
      • tests rely on psio to point to boot interface object.
      • 1.0.0 of PAL does not contain bio in psio.
      • user psio is only readable; need to reference kpsio to get r/w. kernel API to access bio is recommended
      • 20 testValue points that you can use in test across restarts. Reset to 0 before next test.

    1. currently doesn't support multicore due to updates to qemu-vm-3.0 to qemu-vm-7.1
      • Issue (from Peter): The problem with vm 7.1 is not that it does not allow multiple cores, it will launch with up to 15 cores for the virtual machine we are using for ppc. But the waitrsv command is not implemented in a way that allows for releasing cores.
    2. patch that worked on 3.0 won't work for 7.1

  • Liebherr/Loewen - IOI-baremetal linked into LLI's image on R5 core
    • Single "file" - combo of IOI and ring-buffer
    • #1. Once the A72 cores are running, DDCI needs to load this "file" onto the R5 - Shash, Jerry, Tyler
    • #2. DDCI needs a minimalistic environment for testing (for verf)
    • Questions for LLI:
   1. Delivery options:
      a. Source code, which LLI compiles (what compiler?)
      b. .o file, which LLI links against their R5 application
      c. DDCI compiles for a specific address, and LLI links so the code is located at that address
   2. Verification - details TBD
      a. DDCI delivers tests (mc/dc coverage artifacts)
      b. What happens next is TBD; eg, LLI run the tests on their environment to verify linker doesn't inject error(s)

  • Korry/Crucible BSP: Steven
    • Scope change needs to be identified: categorize changes as light, medium or heavy
    • Continue porting crucible BSP to Jupiter
    • ToDo Steven: reach out to Microsys on MSCR setting for PD0-4

    • eeprom for secure boot? Could be used for key storage and zeroization count (would make DDCI's life easier)
  • Trickyfish: imx8-tf BSP, eMMC MAL, DVMS (core, journal and exfat)
    • Eliecer: see email sent on 6/20/2023; DDCI cannot test PDLA with actual interrupt
    • Eliecer: working on remaining requirements; biggest challenge: PBIT on device test using memory controller, which means the memory where boot resides is excluded from the test (ask Shash for advice, then Variscite). If FSBL is testing RAM (not just writing zeros), then DeosBoot does not need to test; ie. Deos depends on pre-bootloader to test memory. DeosBoot performs address bus and data bus tests. Similarly, if pre-bootloader initializes memory to zero, DeosBoot does not need to also initialize memory, but DeosBoot should test memory initialization
    • ToDo Kelly: ask for pre-bootloader source code
    • Ignacio and Luis: work on tests for boot and PAL kernel requirements using Harry's baseline for tests; common tests for PAL (dev-kit) using celestial baseline
    • Adina: creating high level reqs doc - need a draft by 6/23/2023
  • imx8qm 64-bit: Tyler
    • Ryan - 64-bit support

  • nai68ppc2 vs nai68ppc3
  Grace at NAII provided the following list of differences between the nai68ppc2 and nai68ppc3, since Bell is likely to transition to this board in INC1 (next phase of celestial program).
  The differences between the 68PPC2 and 68PPC3 are:
  1. New DDR – investigating if the DDR values will work on the 68PPC2 or new DDR parameter values are needed
  2. Additional Security Options – TPM as well as Battery Backed RAM (Maxim chip) for fast key erasing
  3. PCIe Switch - 68PPC3 supports 8x1 PCIe or 4x1 PCIe + 1x4 PCIe
  4. On the 68PPC3, USB 3.0 goes directly off the PCIe T2080 versus the PCIe switch on the 68PPC2. (Note: DDCI will need to develop a USB 3.0 driver)
  5. Option for TTL #4 to support Tamper-Detection if using BBRAM (Battery Backed RAM) option.
  • Bell hopes to run the verified celestial BSP on the nai68ppc3, and maintain backwards compatibility on the nai68ppc2. Questions for the BSP team, based on Grace's list of changes:
    1. Is there a possibility the verified celestial BSP will run on the nai68ppc3 with config changes only?
    2. If not, what changes will be needed to the celestial BSP to get it to run on the nai68ppc3?
    3. If changes are required, will it be possible to implement the updates that would enable the celestial BSP to run on the nai68ppc2 AND nai68ppc3?
  • ToDo Kelly: capture notes in email, and forward to the team

  • Tyler: t2080 BSP
    • Step 1: Docbook5 done. Externals updated. Working to have it building;. Test on Jupiter - on track to be stable by 5/12/2023
    • Step 2 (only if #1 is done): test on Kismet (32-bit binary).
  • Korry/Crucible BSP: Steven
    • Get PCIe scanner working with the s32v234 reference BSP (done). UART support removed, use FTP to dump test results instead. Add a caveat about the 4 pages limitation for the output. TODO: Consider allowing the user to define a platform resource to dump the data to remove the constraint on the output size.
    • Provide a default pci-config with bit disabled (on work).
    • s32v234-3.1.0 and pcie-scanner-3.0.0 stable 6/20/2023
    • Luis: Celestial test infrastructure being ported to Crucible Boot. On the S23v234, the SRAM data is preserved through resets. Adina, Eliecer and Luis will meet to discuss the details. Using the harrys' boot formal build cygwin archive to reproduce the build environment. This is a workaround while Crucible is updated to Jupiter and its tools.
  • fec-andretti updates for the s32v234 (crucible) and imx8 (trickyfish) stable by 5/31/2023.
    • Adina: Working on the FEC Andretti. Trying to figure out what's the PHY number the board uses.
    • multicast
    • multi-home: The customer might need to specify the PHY number, lwIP.config? Shash: Either way, on Linux you have to specify it as well.
  • Trickyfish: trickyfish BSP, eMMC MAL, DVMS
    • Eliecer: It's likely the date will slip. The current driver requires the Boot to initialize "some things" for Network.
    • Ignacio and Luis: There's a problem when running a test. The board hangs. The image does not boot on the SPEAR-IMX8-3 (it has the Lauterbach). SPEAR-IMX8-2 does not have a Lauterbach, the test does not run, but the image boots.

The reset mechanism is pending.

    • Jean: provide instructions for DAL-D low bar (BSP not moving to DAL-A)
  • Sorrento/Qualcomm RB5 BSP (ARM) 64-bit for kismet
    • Shash: Getting a Linux computer on my home this week and there is one on the farm. They created three SalesForce tickets but the information has not arrived.
    • Setting a meeting once I get access to the tools and the Linux Machine.
  • PhysAlloc
    • Aaron: The work is ongoing. A preliminary "pia" tool already exists. Hoping to have a working example the next week.

  • Ignacio:
    1. cold start PCIe tests (including getConfig) - needs to figure out how to rename the file when it is put to the target. 90% done.
  • Luis: warm start PCIe tests
    • Req: For each PCIe Controller, if a Link Down is detected, the pcie_warmstart() function shall call checkAndInitTargetDevice() for only bus=0, device=0. function=0 and set the platformSpecificInfo->pcieLinkStatus to linkDown
    • This test will need to include all requirements/tests for checkAndInitTargetDevice()
    • Test this on DeosCelestial target, because this board is missing a device, so the Link Down occurs
  • Steven:
    1. s32v234 - DONE!!! Stable!

  • Adina:
  • zu6 BSP for shire: rename zcu102 to zus, and resort to the old "conformance" approach to create multiple BSPs from single source code
  • All code files should be .cpp to reduce time for compiler assessment (only 1 vs 2), and use of "static constexpr" which is only available in cpp. Update to header files that declare functions:
  #ifdef __cplusplus
  extern "C" {
  #endif
  DEOSBASEAPI palextStatus DEOSPALEXTAPI palext_PALcoldstart(void * PlatformSpecificInfo);
  #ifdef __cplusplus
  }

    2. PAL code review feedback - 4/20
    3. Help Dan with celestial Boot Reqs and Code updates - 4/29
  • Steven:
    1. New version of the s32v234 reference BSP - stable by 5/6/2022
    2. BSP does not need to maintain backwards compatibility on the "old" h/w; but it would be nice
  • Luis:
    1. platform independent PAL tests - 4/29/2022
    2. Question on triggering interrupt(s): DPAA network driver can be used to trigger interrupt(s). Dan to provide help on configuring the DPAA.

    • TBD work on PCIe config?

Loewen

  • Dan: Jacinto network driver

General

  • Device tree parser - BSP/boot doesn't implement this feature because the board manufacturers provide inconsistent information; eg, some include the network devices in the tree, and some don't

11-Jan-2022
Desert Eagle

  • Eliecer:
    • de-ls1043a is working! Virtual happy hour when it ships. Planned for 1/14.
    • #1. back to the de-ls1048a
  • Steven:
    • 1#. completing functional testing on de-ls1043a
    • 2#. cffs-sata-atapi MAL reviewing reqs and developing test cases; cffs-emmc-a (Harrys verf) is the baseline
    • 3#. adding support for changing WAT duration and go stable

Celestial

  • Hayden: PCI code and config cvt - starting on code tags
    • PCI config tool additional updates
      • Add versioning info when a new version is released
  • Adina: PAL extension library stub
    • Is Bell going to use the library?
    • Who's responsibility is verifying the library? Not being tracked in PM.com if DDCI's responsibility.

  • Hopefully the timer updates for x86 will apply to jupiter (32-bit) baseline

Reference BSPs:

  • Steven adding support for changing WAT duration and go stable

Desert Eagle

  • Eliecer: de-ls1043a - "discrete to digital" converter issue
    • Issue exists on LRU h/w, but not CCA; Lauterbach reset fixes the issue
    • Ideas: need a timing loop before reading; SPI bus init is not complete
    • Kelly: confirm with Boeing that there are no differences between the CCA and LRU boards that would impact this
  • Steven: fix to read PBit flag; DMA alignment challenge.
    • Be sure -mno-unaligned-access compile switch is used, and that data structures are not packed

Celestial

  • Dan and Hayden: working boot and PAL reqs and code ready for review
    • review each other's work before getting feedback from Aaron
  • Hayden: PCI config cvt - work with Chuck Frayman
    • cvt requirement: reproduce the input file

    • ToDo Hayden to follow up with Aaron
    • Reminder: Meeting to discuss multicore verf tomorrow (1/4)
  • Ignacio: working Boot tests

Jacinto

  • Dan: taking over development of cpsw network driver

    • He also admitted to having experience with TI network drivers! So, the plan is have him help Matt with the Jacinto network driver in Jan

14-Dec-2021 Desert Eagle

  • Identified the correct mdio to interface with the PHY. Network still not working. Going to dump PHY registers to compare to the U-Boot values.
  • eMMC: Chris proposed we hold on the eMMC until network is functional.
  • Steven to work on getting the de-ls1043a to come up multicore. Some code was removed that uboot was doing on every core to the GIC. Determine if it is needed to be done on all cores.

Reference BSPs:

  • Steven adding support for changing WAT duration.

Celestial

  • Dan: Making good progress on boot requirements. Hoping to have first draft before holiday break.

1-June-2021

  • Roadblocks at the moment?
    • Jared: Fractal MAL: "edge" cases, eg, rebooting (power cycle) causes the system to get stuck in U-Boot every 50 resets.
    • Adina: Could be due to pull-up capacitor causing weird behavior. Try waiting for 5 seconds after power off.
    • ToDo: Jared to send email to NAI (Tom) describing the issue. If it turns out to be a h/w issue, NAI should communicate the issue to the customer. Also, confirm if this issue occurs during mode changes.
    • ToDo: Kelly to follow up with NAI on adding JTag support on all NAI h/w.
