## Follow Ups
|
||

|
* SBC Support - We're close on a lot of the boards we aim to support (Orange Pi, Libre boards, Rock Pro, RPi5, etc)
|
||
|
|
* Raspberry Pi5
|
||
|
|
* Needs 16k kernel variant
|
||
|
|
* arm-trusted-firmware in staging for 8 and 9
|
||
|
|
* please test, adds support for some SBCs we target
|
||
|
|
* RISC-V - Communications ongoing with RISC-V foundation for firmware
|
||
|
|
* What else do we want aside from what they may be able to give us?
|
||
|

|
## Open Floor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Alan has Turing Pi boards to run his Pis--would be nice to be able to test these
|
||
|
|
* Jeff Geerling did a video recently on Turing Pi cluster board
|
||
|
|
* "little clusters" -- just shared NFS, works ok. needs to be NVME because of i/o thrashing, though
|
||
|
|
* Stack: there has been a lot of interest in SBCs in Rocky the past few months
|
||
|
|
* Would be good to have a plan to convert interested parties to contributors
|
||
|
|
* we have a lot of SBC $$$ to spend on HW for folks
|
||
|
|
* Roadmap & Status -- What do we support, who supports it, what works/doesn't work
|
||
|
|
* https://git.resf.org/testing/SBC-progress-tracking
|
||
|
|
* Risc-V
|
||
|
|
* Alan has [Lichee Pi 4a](https://wiki.sipeed.com/hardware/en/lichee/th1520/lc4a/lc4a.html) | https://sipeed.com/licheepi4a
|
||
|
|
* Should we include non-altarch (x86_64) SBCs in our list of what works?
|
||
|
|
* They work out of the box (for the most part), so, let's just include them
|
||
|
|
* https://radxa.com/products/x/x2l/#techspec - GPIO via a Pico
|
||
|
|
* Alan wants to get this running under Rocky at some point
|
||
|
|
* also looking at https://www.mixtile.com/cluster-box/
|
||
|
|
* Stack: Grace Hopper?
|
||
|
|
* seems to be only debian from NVidia
|
||
|
|
* Brian: Yoshi (CIQ) may have a contact that knows more information about Grace Hopper and Rocky
|
||
|
|
* Sherif: Intel GPU update
|
||
|
|
* Met with them through HPC SIG (Jeremy)
|
||
|
|
* DKMS version first for testing
|
||
|
|
* Later: signed for secureboot and installable as kmod package (kernel SIG)
|
||
|
|
* User tools in HPC SIG
|
||
|
|
* NVIDIA -- maybe we can talk to them after we show this working well, collaborate
|
||
|
|
* Needs legal review and sign-off from NVIDIA
|
||
|
|
* many questions about this... e.g. How can we trust signing a proprietary blob for SB signing?
|
||
|
|
* Stack's SBC tower: https://52pi.com/products/52pi-rack-tower-acrylic-cluster-case-for-raspberry-pi-12-layer?_pos=21&_sid=39b8f5ea0&_ss=r
