Attendees
- Neil Hanlon
- Sherif Nagy
- Brian Clemens
- Stack
- Alan Sill
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
- Raspberry Pi5
- 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
- we have a lot of SBC $
- Roadmap & Status -- What do we support, who supports it, what works/doesn't work
- https://git.resf.org/testing/SBC-progress-tracking
- Would be good to have a plan to convert interested parties to contributors
- Risc-V
- Alan has Lichee Pi 4a | 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/
- Alan wants to get this running under Rocky at some point
- 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
Action Items
- Neil to reach out to Equinix regarding arm hw for altarch
- Neil to reply to RV folks
- Neil to look into wiki content population
- Neil to file ticket to investigate kernel packer to repack upstream RPi kernel
- Neil to work on SBC Kernel variant config in KernelPacker
- Sherif to work on Raspberry Pi kernel variants
