LVC21-321: AArch64 Laptops for Linux Developers
Thursday, March 25, 2021
Only recently have AArch64 laptops arrived on the market that are suitable for Linux developers. This session will review the options and support for upstream Linux kernels, GNU user space and associated tooling that make up a modern GNU/Linux distribution. We will focus on laptops that provide UEFI boot process and review specific platforms for their current status. We will discuss the outstanding tasks needed to make the platforms comparable with more established Linux laptop platforms. We also expect to cover our the specification of an ideal AArch64 laptop.
LVC21-320: Yocto: Binary Packages and the Ease of Use Continuum
Thursday, March 25, 2021
When discussing an OpenEmbedded derived distribution, it is common to hear things like "I don't want to take the time build from source", "We don't need that level of control and optimization", "We just need to boot and demo" or "Can I create and deploy that with a Dockerfile ?". These type of questions and concerns are valid, but are addressed by the latest dvancements in the Yocto project ecosystem. As projects evolve, so do their requirements and use cases. Questions may become: "How do I rebuild a package?", "How can someone develop applications against my image/distribution?", "How can I integrate 3rd party packages?", "How do I go to production and support?" or "How can I deploy updates and new applications?". This means that the flexibility of the build environment becomes important as do the outputs of that environment. This talk will discuss how although OpenEmbedded was traditionally source based, it can produce a number of binary outputs. Those outputs can be used to create landing points on the ease of use continuum between well known alternatives such as alpine through debian, as well as provide a path from demo to production to wide scale cloud deployment. It will also include examples of how these binary outputs can be used in traditional package feed/update mechanisms, as well as in new environments such as Dockerfile builds or cloud-native base images. Finally, how Xilinx may leverage these capabilities to enhance the accessibility and platform integration will be discussed.
LVC21-319: GloDroid or boosting true open source Android stack development.
Thursday, March 25, 2021
There are many ways of building latest Linux from the sources and deploy to almost any available board / PC. But what about Android? In this presentation I will share our experience of bringing-up latest Android to the set of most usable consumer-level SBCs (Raspberry, Orange PIs, etc.). We will talk about problems we faced and solutions we came up with. Agenda: 1. Our philosophy and goals 2. Improving Android HALs such as: - drm_hwcomposer - gbm_gralloc - minigbm - integration with mainline mesa3d 3. Unification of graphic stack between all FOSS Android teams (GloDroid boards, LineageOS-based projects, Android-x86, In-AOSP boards) 4. Future plans. 5. DEMO: How to add support for a new board to the GloDroid project.
