Keynote Presentation
George Grey, CEO

2. 4 Years
● Linaro started in 2010
● Member-driven software engineering
company dedicated to improving open source
technology for the ARM architecture
● Initial members were ARM, IBM, and
4 SoC vendors from the mobile space
Freescale, Samsung, ST-Ericsson and TI
● 20 engineers started work on the gcc
toolchain and on kernel consolidation

3. Linaro Organization Today
● Now 28 members
ARM, IBM
16 SoC vendors
5 OSS companies
5 End users
● >200 OSS engineers
distributed globally,
working collaboratively
on software for the
ARM architecture
● $50M

4. Linaro Projects

5. Key Projects 2014-2015
● Linaro OSS Upstream Projects
● Energy Aware Scheduling (with members)
● Android optimization on ARMv8 SoCs (LMG)
● OpenJDK (LEG)
● OpenDataPlane (LNG)
● W3C EME Secure Media (LHG)
● Linaro OSS Products
● ARM gcc toolchain for ARMv7-A/v8-A
● LSK - Linux 3.10 and Linux 3.14
● LAVA CI and cloud test platform

6. OpenDataPlane
● In 2013 LNG members launched
ODP to create an open-source,
cross-platform framework for the
data plane
● v0.2 released
● v1.0 end of this year
● Members and others are
implementing on ARM,
x86/DPDK, MIPS and PowerPC

7. Open Portable TEE
● Open Source Security
● TrustZone + TEE
● Adheres to Global
Platform APIs
● Open and available to
all under BSD license
● Participation and
contributions are
welcome

8. Linaro Stable Kernel (LSK)
● A baseline for member ARM
products with support for 2 years
● Based on the Long Term Support
(LTS) from kernel.org
● Last version 3.10, Next version 3.14
● Includes key ARM functionality
● Backported new ARM mainline features
● ARMv8 support
● Versions for Segments
● Android version K/L for LMG
● RT patch set for LNG
● OEM/Yocto packaged for LHG

9. LMG Demo:
AOSP Android built for ARMv8 64-bit SoCs
64-bit engineering for Android in mobile
and other markets:
● Android from AOSP master
● Linaro Stable Kernel (LSK) 3.10 base
● Pre-integrated with ARM Mali OpenGL
(3D Graphics) drivers
● ARM Trusted Firmware and the
UEFI EDK II boot loader
○ Also support for U-Boot & Fastboot
● All components are built with Linaro
GCC version 4.9
ARMv8-A Juno Development Board

10. LHG Demo:
STB RDK on ST 4K hardware
● LHG announced in May
● LHG engineers have worked on
the Linux/RDK platform. This is a
foundation for Linux-based media
frameworks on ARM SoCs
● LHG has implemented changes to
the streaming framework
architecture, as well as innovations
to the web rendering engine and
abstractions to the graphics layers

11. RDK Demonstration
● 4K graphics combined with 1080p video running on
STMicroelectronics B2120 2 core ARM Cortex-A9
CPU with Mali 400-MP4 GPU for the STB market
● Built on the LSK 3.10 kernel, using
OpenEmbedded/Yocto (Daisy branch)
● Powered by STMicro software SDK
● Wayland/Weston windowing system protocol

12. LEG Demo:
OpenStack running OpenJDK JTREG testing
OpenStack
Cloud Controller
LXC 0..3
Compute Node 0
Compute Node 1

13. Overview
● 3x APM Mustang boards
running Ubuntu Trusty 14.04
● All services deployed with juju
● Mustang 01 as cloud controller and
Jenkins master with LXC
● Mustang 02 and 03 as OpenStack
compute nodes with KVM
● Run a subset of the OpenJDK
JTREG test regression harness
● Jenkins dynamically provisions SIX
VM’s instances via OpenStack on
Mustang 02 and 03
● the VM’s are destroyed upon
test completion

14. Industry Trends
● The ARM architecture is extending
across all computing segments from
IoT to high-end server
● Driven by the accelerating rate of
innovation from the ARM partnership
● SoC complexity and speed of
innovation places increasing
demands on software
● Innovators are increasingly requiring
OSS. SoC and support chip vendors
need to work upstream to remain
competitive

15. Collaboration Everywhere
● Working together on OSS enables
companies to stay competitive and to focus
on their own differentiation and value-add
● SoC dependent - Upstream Linux kernel
and projects, AOSP for Android, OpenJDK
for Java
● Increasing trend for major industry projects
built using the collaborative OSS model -
architecture independent, with opportunity
for optimization

16. Linaro - Collaboration for the ARM Ecosystem
● Linaro is now a Silver member of the Linux
Foundation, and today we welcome the Linux
Foundation as a Linaro Community member
● Grant Likely was recently elected as Chair of the
Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board, and
will represent the TAB on the Linux Foundation
Board
● During 2014-2015 Linaro expects to continue to
grow its membership reflecting the importance of
OSS in our industry
● SOC Vendors
● Distributions and key OSS providers
● End users
