Topics for breakouts

  1. BSP wiki
  2. Testing lessons
  3. DVMS multi-partition architecture
  4. Driver dev-kit
  5. Ada/GDB port to Kismet
  6. OA automated testing for BSPs
  7. ??

Suggested Format

Should have a mix of:

  1. component/team specific, cross team, and whole system
  2. new features/technologies, changes to existing, finding things to leave behind
  3. Learning, teaching, listening, presenting.
  4. Thinking, doing (e.g., install docker/wsl)
  5. Site visit opportunities; e.g., farm tours. Or vendor presentations; e.g. Intel Rep
  6. Presentations: short (12 minute), medium (24 minute), long, vs work sessions

Notes from Meetings

  • Day 1:
  1. Bill's presentation on Product Management
    • Need to document the process for delivering an example (generic for any customer) vs shipping a workspace to demonstrate a feature (specific to a customer)
  2. Aaron's Architect Overview
    • Need breakout session to discuss future of CVTs
  3. Ryan's Kernel Overview
    • Pull Laplata features into Kismet: Shutdown hook; Registry query PPIs (needed by new HI PO) and BSP Team (interrupt name and number); PAL data blobs; kernel PAL interceptor
  • Day 2:
  1. OpenArbor Testing:opportunity to redesign examples to provide return code that can be checked by OA test
    • Engineers should be using the OA test harness to confirm the examples run before going stable
  2. Shipping Standard templates as DAL-E software?
  3. Core dump capability
    • This capability needs to be documented in GDB release notes (no UG?)
  • Day 3:
    • Interrupt support needed in UDP stack? If so, would impact PRL support library

Support Team Takeaways

  • Safe Force for support awareness
  • Insights into:
    • OA & CD Proc
    • LFS/MFS
    • Device Driver, UDP, TCP/IP
  • Q&A on topics
  • Feedback on best training/learning methods
  • Support Team Projects (aka "After Dark")
