Topics & Notes:

Check past action items

• AI-Philipp-Thomas: Need to schedule a follow-up with ZAL (Aerospace research centre in Hamburg, Germany)
  • ZAL is still considering XEN to have a more centralized HW platform.
  • Want to have a follow up meeting to discuss the system composition.
  • ZAL (working with Airbus) considered to have a Zephyr, Xen & Linux system based on Xilinx hardware for research evaluation.
  • Check their interest in ELISA in a follow up and if it makes sense for them to join Systems or Aerospace WGs.
• AI-Philipp-Nicole: Need to have also a follow-up on Nix & NixOS as they were interested in the SBOM topic.
  • We got response from Nix and we need to find a slot when Nix people, Nicole and Philipp are available at same time.
  • Nicole and Philipp will align offline.
  • We need to check if they need anything and what they need for functional safety.
• Minutes from last meeting are here: https://github.com/elisa-tech/wg-systems/wiki/Feb-19%252C-2024-%E2%80%90-16%253A00-UTC

Latest status on Qemu work

• Some inconsitancies were observed and some files were missing.
• described the setup at https://github.com/mtt2hi/wg-systems/blob/wip/mtt2hi/metadoc-3/Documentation/xen-demo-zcu102/cr-image-script.md
• Mountimage is also provided by https://gitlab.apertis.org/pkg/apertis-dev-tools/-/blob/apertis/v2024/tools/mountimage?ref_type=heads
• Thomas also did another round of reproductions and things worked out for him again.
• Would be good to have some feedback also from Vikas or Vipul from their reproduction.
• Yocto setup reproductions at other people's machines can be a bit tricky. 😉

Embedded World Showcase

• The demonstrator can run a special version of APERTIS. It is a plug and boot system.
• No major setup demand. The demonstrator is in a case and autoboots.
• Consideration to have the showcase at Collabora booth or at AGL booth.
  • Collabora may have space and team to demonstrate the solution.
  • Limiting part is the setup demand.
  • Have branded flyers and have people there.
  • Have a demo script/story, so that a story and consistent message for the demo would be good.
    • Full documentation including demo cases can be found in GitHub
    • https://github.com/elisa-tech/wg-systems/blob/main/Documentation/xen-demo-zcu102/contents.md
    • The wider story would need to be prepared
  • Benjamin could bring the demo and be there for a day or two days.
  • Logistics of returning demo on Thursday need to be clarified.
• Considerations for AGL booth.
  • Will require AGL to be included in the demo, which is currently not the case.
  • Will require to have a person representing the demo for the full 3 days, which we cannot guarantee.
  • Bosch is seen as presenter as we prepared the demo system, but Bosch is not an AGL member, making showcasing also complicated.
• Consideration for Zephyr booth.
  • Booth is fully booked and no space for ELISA demonstrator.
• Conclusion: Go with the Collabora booth.
  • Big thanks to Collabora (Guy) to confirm willingness of showcasing the ELISA example system.
  • Kate to share One pagers with Collabora.
  • Further logistics are sorted out in the next weeks between Bosch & Collabora, keeping everyone informed via this channel.
