Minutes
- Franz suggested GENIVI community looking at RISC V architecture – this might become a production grade at some point
- Gunnar goes over last call’s minutes
- GHS: Nikola cannot join anymore because he changed position, GHS said they are interested in continuing their participation to the work
- Bernhard don’t have updates on SEL2 / SP805 yet
- Mentioned that discussion can happen with ARM engineers on WDT – but this is part of “supervisor” not hypervisor. This can be reviewed in scope of SBSA
- SEL2 – maybe some spec updates? Not yet
- Gunnar pointed out the need to take time schedules more aggressively
- Philippe suggested to use May 14-16 AMM in Munich as a milestone for some 1st version release and holding technical workshop on virtualization & spec review
- Gunnar requests for topics/proposals for presentations on GENIVI AMM (Artem wants to suggest reviewing pvif as alternative to virtio)
- Reviewing Virtual Device Categories table yet
- Block storage – no updates yet from Kai, Gunnar is reviewing goals and approach. One of the main un-covered topics is “automotive-grade persistency management” – does this imply some requirements on hypervisor level? Artem – hypervisor just shall not interfere. Gunnar – there may be 2 approaches: write-through with “privileged” processes or going through all system layers as usual. Kai – write down the requirements. Discussion continues into discussing API stability for all scenarios. Gunnar – does virtio provide everything needed for technical implementation of abovementioned? Kai – no, probably not, it does not allow applying policy, etc. Need to define what is missing, requirements, etc. From example of 2D GPU, Kai is asking – from this table it is not clear if virtio fits requirements. Gunnar – requirements must be checked against virtio spec. Kai – requirements as of now implying some design choices which may not be correct. Gunnar – yes, but requirements are there to support different implied designs, not to enforce them. Goal is to make a generic specification which can be tailored for a target system.
