Next Deep-dive session to be scheduled
Take it like last time. Sebastian proposes 4 slots. Philipp will use them to create a nuudel.

Discussion with ZAL last week.
- Options they propose where i.mx95 SMARC modules
- pointing to 3 potential vendor for "community friendly" hardware
- ZAL offered to lend one hardware in case we want to experiment.
- i.mx95 has a good support for xen when building with yocto-full version.
- microchip also has a potential hardware based on RISC-V supporting Xen
Dropped a mail to microchip representative (as they have been in some meetings recently)
- Question internally forwarded to microchip.
Gen5 of R-Car as a central HPC ECU could be an option
- not available to wider community
- more expensive
- decent features
- unclear which GPU vendor is used.
For Nvidia xen couldn't be used in the past and KVM was the option judges as slightly less safe and secure.
native ARM-qemu also still in discussion.
