The document discusses porting Linux to microcontrollers with low memory and storage. It describes how Linux can leverage the microcontroller development environment and avoid fragmentation by using the device tree to describe hardware instead of coding it directly into the kernel. The document recommends starting with a known Linux configuration like stm32_defconfig and using the Kconfig menuconfig tool to customize it for the specific microcontroller.
An Introduction to the Android Framework -- a core architecture view from app...William Liang
This presentation, following the previous "An Introduction to the Linux Kernel and Device Drivers", is for another 3-hours lecture in the "Open Source System Software & Practice" class, organized and hosted by Prof. Shih-Hao Hung, in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Taiwan University.
The slides cover the architecture of the Android Framework, including the Android architecture overview, system integration of the Android operating system, the Activity and Service framework components, life cycles, inter-component communication methods, how the framework works, the Android device control model, core system services, hardware abstraction layer, and related important issues, etc.
1. Manuel Offenberg of Seagate discussed securing data at the edge using RISC-V and Keystone enclaves to protect data during creation and movement.
2. OpenTitan can provide another layer of trust by securing the root of trust.
3. Endpoint security is crucial for ensuring overall data integrity and trustworthiness when significant data is being generated at billions of sensors and IoT devices.
This document discusses business models for open hardware. It begins with an overview of software licenses, including proprietary, hybrid, and free software licenses. Free software licenses can have reciprocity requirements. For open hardware, value is created through collaboration but captured indirectly through services typically. Examples of successful open hardware companies discussed include Arduino, which uses a dual licensing model, and Elphel, which releases hardware and software under GPLv2. New opportunities may arise from advances in CAD software and 3D printing.
OmniXtend is an open source cache coherence protocol that runs over Ethernet. It allows for a unified memory fabric that scales beyond what is possible with traditional CPU-centric architectures. OmniXtend implements the TileLink cache coherence protocol over Ethernet frames, eliminating the need to rewrite software and enabling new data-centric architectures by decoupling compute from memory. The CHIPS Alliance is developing OmniXtend as an open standard with the goal of driving more collaboration in the hardware development community.

LAS16-200: SCMI - System Management and Control InterfaceLinaro
Title: SCMI - System Management and Control Interface
Abstract: In this session we present a new standard proposal for system control and management. The industry, both in high end mobile and enterprise, is trending towards the use of power and system controllers. In most cases the controllers have very similar communication mechanisms between application processors and controllers. In addition, these controllers generally provide very similar functions, e.g. DVFS, power domain management, sensor management. This standard proposal provides an extensible, OS agnostic, and virtualizable interface to access these functions.

SFO15-100K1: Welcome Keynote: George Grey, Linaro CEOLinaro
Linaro is a non-profit engineering organization that leads collaboration in the ARM ecosystem. In this presentation, the Linaro CEO summarized the organization's work over the past 5 years and outlined plans for the next year. Key points included the growth of ARM from 1% to over 12 billion chips shipped, the launch of new 96Boards products, ongoing work on ODP and other open source projects, and plans to expand efforts in areas like IoT, embedded systems, and greater collaboration in China. The presentation demonstrated Linaro projects running on 96Boards and concluded by highlighting the scalability of distributed big data workloads on ARM servers.
It's a pivotal challenge to update the software in embedded systems due to many restrictions such as unreliable network and power supply, limited bandwidth, harsh environment, etc. This slide aims to provide the background knowledge and the open source tool to achieve the software update in embedded systems.
This document provides an overview of embedded operating systems (OSes). It discusses non-real-time OSes like Palm OS and embedded Linux distributions. It also summarizes over 20 commercial and open-source real-time operating systems (RTOSs) such as VxWorks, RTX, Nucleus, FreeRTOS, and eCos. These RTOSs support a variety of processor architectures and have different features around real-time performance, memory footprint, middleware, and pricing models. The document serves as a resource for choosing an appropriate OS for an embedded system.
The document discusses the transition from proprietary computing systems dominated by single firms like IBM to open systems defined by open standards. It describes how technological changes like the microprocessor lowered costs, allowing new entrants. This increased pressure for open and compatible systems. Early "open" systems like Unix gained adoption through large developer communities and compatibility. Competition then occurred between different open systems through strategies like proprietary extensions, alliance shifting, and achieving full interoperability between hardware and software.

Deep Learning Neural Network Acceleration at the Edge - Andrea GalloLinaro
Short
The growing amount of data captured by sensors and the real time constraints imply that not only big data analytics but also Machine Learning (ML) inference shall be executed at the edge. The multiple options for neural network acceleration in Arm-based platforms provide an unprecedented opportunity for new intelligent devices. It also raises the risk of fragmentation and duplication of efforts when multiple frameworks shall support multiple accelerators.
Andrea Gallo, Linaro VP of Segment Groups, will summarise the existing NN frameworks, accelerator solutions, and will describe the efforts underway in the Arm ecosystem.
Abstract
The dramatically growing amount of data captured by sensors and the ever more stringent requirements for latency and real time constraints are paving the way for edge computing, and this implies that not only big data analytics but also Machine Learning (ML) inference shall be executed at the edge. The multiple options for neural network acceleration in recent Arm-based platforms provides an unprecedented opportunity for new intelligent devices with ML inference. It also raises the risk of fragmentation and duplication of efforts when multiple frameworks shall support multiple accelerators.
Andrea Gallo, Linaro VP of Segment Groups, will summarise the existing NN frameworks, model description formats, accelerator solutions, low cost development boards and will describe the efforts underway to identify the best technologies to improve the consolidation and enable the competitive innovative advantage from all vendors.
Audience
The session will be useful for executives to engineers. Executives will gain a deeper understanding of the issues and opportunities. Engineers at NN acceleration IP design houses will take away ideas for how to collaborate in the open source community on their area of expertise, how to evaluate the performance and accelerate multiple NN frameworks without modifying them for each new IP, whether it be targeting edge computing gateways, smart devices or simple microcontrollers.
Benefits to the Ecosystem
The AI deep learning neural network ecosystem is starting just now and it has similar implications with open source as GPU and video accelerators had in the early days with user space drivers, binary blobs, proprietary APIs and all possible ways to protect their IPs. The session will outline a proposal for a collaborative ecosystem effort to create a common framework to manage multiple NN accelerators while at the same time avoiding to modify deep learning frameworks with multiple forks.

Bud17 113: distribution ci using qemu and open qaLinaro
“Delivering a well working distribution is hard. There are a lot of different hardware platforms that need to be verified and the software stack is in a big flux during development phases. In rolling releases, this gets even worse, as nothing ever stands still. The only sane answer to that problem are working Continuous Integration tests. The SUSE way to check whether any change breaks normal distribution behavior is OpenQA. Using OpenQA we can automatically run tests that hard working QA people did manually in the old days. That way we have fast enough turnaround times to find and reject breaking changes This session shows how OpenQA works, what pitfalls we had to make ARM work with OpenQA and what we’re doing to improve it for ARM specific use cases.”

Speaker Bio:
He started programming in the late 80's in C for PCs after a few years playing with 8-bit computers, but he only started programming professionally in the late 90's during the .com bubble. After many years working on Internet's back-end, he moved to UK and worked a few years on bioinformatics at EBI before joining ARM, where he worked on the DS-5 debugger and on the EDG-to-LLVM bridge, where he became the LLVM Tech Lead. Recently, he worked with large clusters and big data at HPCC before moving to Linaro.
Talk Title: OpenHPC Automation with Ansible
Talk Abstract: "In order to test OpenHPC packages and components and to use it as a
platform to benchmark HPC applications, Linaro is developing an automated deployment strategy, using Ansible, Mr-Provisioner and Jenkins, to install the
OS, OpenHPC and prepare the environment on varied architectures (Arm, x86). This work is meant to replace the existing ageing Bash-based recipes upstream while still keeping the documents intact. Our aim is to make it easier to vary hardware configuration, allow for different provisioning techniques and mix internal infrastructure logic to different labs, while still using the same recipes. We hope this will help more people use OpenHPC with a better out-of-the-box experience and with more robust results"

Talk Title: HPC network stack on ARM
Talk Abstract:
Applications, programming languages, and libraries that leverage sophisticated network hardware capabilities have a natural advantage when used in today¹s and tomorrow's high-performance and data center computer environments. Modern RDMA based network interconnects provides incredibly rich functionality (RDMA, Atomics, OS-bypass, etc.) that enable low-latency and high-bandwidth communication services. The functionality is supported by a variety of interconnect technologies such as InfiniBand, RoCE, iWARP, Intel OPA, Cray¹s Aries/Gemini, and others. Over the last decade, the HPC community has developed variety user/kernel level protocols and libraries that enable a variety of high-performance applications over RDMA interconnects including MPI, SHMEM, UPC, etc. With the emerging availability HPC solutions based on ARM CPU architecture it is important to understand how ARM integrates with the RDMA hardware and HPC network software stack.

Speaker: Alex Bennée,Richard Henderson
Track: Enterprise
★ Session Summary ★
ARM's Scalable Vector Extensions is an innovative solution to processing highly data parallel workloads. While several out-of-tree attempts at implementing SVE support for QEMU existed, we took a fundamentally different approach to solving key challenges and therefore pursued a from-scratch QEMU SVE implementation in Linaro. Our strategic choice was driven by several factors. First as an ""upstream first"" organisation we were focused on a solution that would be readily accepted by the upstream project. This entailed doing our development in the open on the project mailing lists where early feedback and community consensus can be reached.

HKG18-120 - Devicetree Schema Documentation and Validation Linaro
"Session ID: HKG18-120
Session Name: HKG18-120 - Structured Documentation and Validation for Device Tree
Speaker: Grant Likely
Track: Kernel
★ Session Summary ★
Devicetree has become the dominant hardware configuration language used when building embedded systems. Projects using Devicetree now include Linux, U-Boot, Android, FreeBSD, and Zephyr. However, it is notoriously difficult to write correct Devicetree data files. The dtc tools perform limited tests for valid data, and there there is not yet a way to add validity test for specific hardware descriptions. Neither is there a good way to document requirements for specific bindings. Work is underway to solve these problems. This session will present a proposal for adding Devicetree schema files to the Devicetree toolchain that can be used to both validate data and produce usable documentation.

An overview of the trusted boot concept and firmware update on the ARMv8-M based platform and how MCUBoot acts as a BL2 bootloader for TF-M.
Trusted Firmware M
In October 2017, Arm announced the vision of Platform Security Architecture (PSA) - a common framework to allow everyone in the IoT ecosystem to move forward with stronger, scalable security and greater confidence. There are three key stages to the Platform Security Architecture: Analysis, Architecture and Implementation which are described at https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/platform-security-architecture.
_Trusted Firmware M, i.e. TF-M, is the Arm project to provide an open source reference implementation firmware that will conform to the PSA specification for M-Class devices. Early access to TF-M was released in December 2017 and it is being made public during Linaro Connect. The implementation should be considered a prototype until the PSA specifications reach release state and the code aligns._

★ Session Summary ★
For decades we have been able to take advantage of Moore’s Law to improve single thread performance, reduce power and cost with each generation of semiconductor technology. While technology has advanced after the end of Dennard scaling more than 10 years ago, the advances have slowed down. Server performance increases have relied on increasing core counts and power budgets.
At the same time, workloads have changed in the era of cloud computing. Scale out is becoming more important than scale up. Domain specific architectures have started to emerge to improve the energy efficiency of emerging workloads like deep learning
This talk will provide a historical perspective and discuss emerging trends driving the development of modern servers processors.

Many ARM system patches still not upstream / upstreamable
Need more maintainers that have access to ARM hardware and are
knowledgeable about the ARM architecture
ARM Community still small (although ARM system engineering is
probably larger than Intel’s)

Trends: Disaggregation
dis·ag·gre·gate
v. dis·ag·gre·gat·ed, dis·ag·gre·gat·ing, dis·ag·gre·gates
To divide into constituent parts, to break up or break apart.
Unbundle
break apart proprietary components, sandwiching with open source
components
Supported by open standards
Driven by end customers
OpenStack is a good example...
10. www.linaro.orgSlide 10
OpenStack
OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large
pools of compute, storage, and networking resources
throughout a datacenter.
http://www.openstack.org
11. www.linaro.orgSlide 11
Why is OpenStack Important to Linaro?
Drives engineering activities in Linaro:
Java
PHP
Python
Virtualization
Gives us a framework for testing
Stresses the components that we’re engineering
Gives us a framework for benchmarking
Looking for areas to improve performance of the overall system
12. www.linaro.orgSlide 12
Standards
Standards driving ARM systems
Change from mobile, where standards are few (although you could think
of Android as a standard)
Established markets demand standards (need to avoid a ‘me too’
approach)
Closed standards
Extend the status quo (and who wants that?)
Driven by the technology producers
Open standards support disaggregation
Tend to be driven by the end customers
Encourage many vendors and competition

HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture)
http://hsafoundation.com
GP GPU
using the right compute engines to execute software
shared, coherent caching model
14. www.linaro.orgSlide 14
Which Standards?
Open source software can quickly adopt standards
Google any standard and someone’s implemented it for Linux
Open source often used to prove standards
Which standard should we choose?
Generally, driven by members, especially the groups
Example #1: Networking – Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)
Should we adopt this for ARM based networking?
Better ‘kit of parts’, such as openEM (open event machine)?
Example #2: STB – Comcast RDK
Invent our own standards?
If needed, but generally see Linaro as the implementers of standards
15. www.linaro.orgSlide 15
Community
Who is the ARM open source community?
Systems engineers versus end users
(Probably) more ARM engineers working on ARM platforms than Intel
has working on Intel platforms
Availability of ARM platforms opens up
Distribution support
Community projects
University research
Maker community
Love ARM platforms
Busily inventing new things
Raspberry pi cat feeder
18. www.linaro.orgSlide 18
Standards versus Groups
Graphics and Multimedia
UMM, OpenGLES, CDF, HSA
LEG
OpenCompute, LAMP, OpenStack, Hadoop, HipHop VM
LNG
DPDK
openEM
STB
Comcast RDK / Android / ??
Automotive
Genivi

Strategy
Start working with the LLVM community (support ARM buildbots etc)
Grow effort based on member’s input / groups
LLVM versus GCC
LLVM will grow in importance
LLVM is being used to build Android
Linaro is benchmarking LLVM and has made some fixes
LLVM important for GP GPU:
OpenCL
HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture)
LLVM Strategy

The Competition
Intel are still the competition
Their strategy is vertical, ARM’s is horizontal (and Linaro fits into
that horizontal play)
Drive an x86 distribution into markets via top player
Was Nokia, now Samsung
Was Meego, now Tizan
Subsidize the engineering effort
Hardware is approaching ARM’s for power efficiency, but the
competition is not really between technologies, it’s between
business models
Hardware and software
Success and Failure
Intel has not had a great deal of software success (MeeGo(ne))
ARM
A lot of great stuff has happened (reference the consolidation of the kernel)
Outside of Linaro, companies still upstreaming a lot of duplication
Need to avoid complacency
Server is their turf, so expect trouble
Gloves off in networking, clear choices
22. www.linaro.orgSlide 22
Security
Standards
Secure OS
GlobalPlatforms – system architecture / client API
Trusted Computing Group (TCG)
ARM standards (initially Server, but roll out to all ARMv8)
SMC calling convention
Power State Coordination Interface(PSCI)
Trusted Board boot requirements
Trusted Boot Server Architecture
Kernel
Will track hardening / security via the kernel group and LKS
Need access to all components to test the boot architecture
Currently, missing the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)
Get Trustonic involved (support in LAVA etc)
Open source TEE contemplated

Humility
Who are we?
Let’s not get carried away by an open source agenda
Remember that members pay for our efforts
We are the ‘tip of the iceberg’, the 1% of a company’s efforts.
Members succeed, so do we.
Concentrate on the common problems
It’s (still) all about collaboration
Avoid ‘crank the handle’ patch shuffling
Remember that members pay us a lot of money to be part of
this
For example, companies spending money on Linaro as they restructure
