Decisions from 1st meeting - no exact date
- Images should be generic so as to be able to be installed on any board, where possible.
- uboot can live on SPI or external flash
- We need to help document this for our users and have guides on how to get the SBCs working. This is a big pain point for many SBC users as there is so much variation.
- To this end, we should investigate some tooling to aid in writing images for boards which will boot on the first try.
- Uboot should similarly be generic and work for all boards, insofar as it is practical to do so.
- We will wait for the next Kernel.org LTS to be cut, as that should have all the changes for the boards we're talking about.
- We will engage with our upstreams (Fedora, ELRepo, etc) for changes we make with the Kernel SIG for AltArch/SBC support.
- This necessitates participating in SIG/Kernel to represent our needs in these kernels.
- We should strive to perform native builds when possible, but recognize that emulation is a necessary evil.
