Dear CIP friends,
here is the report of those tasks related with Testing and kernel maintenance that Don, Ben, Robert and myself has been working on the past two weeks: CIP Testing * Investigation is ongoing on issue #16 * Continued work on Issue #30 the ArduinoPDU to control the Soft Reset and the Power On/Off commands to the Beaglebone Black (BBB). ** We are able to command it using the low level relay-ctrl.py command, but the pduclient command is still not working. I've reached out for help on the linaro-lava IRC channel with no success. * Investigated Issue #31 incorporating QEMU/KVM as a second hypervisor. I want to avoid having to support two versions, so it will be a side-by-side "option." * Started Issue #22 adding the required build tools for different architectures: The goal is to include tools for: armel, armhf, arm64, and i386 & amd64 at some point. * Investigated "weird mixture of Debian versions" Issue #33 and from this work, we will solidify the base from which future version will be created. * Determined to distribute the CIP-Board-at-Desk VM to anyone who cannot build the VM from Vagrant due to software versioning issues in Issue #34 . * Closed several issues as they were solved: ** #35 Consolidate all the instructions on the wiki ** #29 Beaglebone Black's Debian doesn't give standard Shutdown Message ** #32 Could not access KVM kernel module ** #21 qemu01 health check fails * Space requested to deploy the VMs for the release. ** LF is working on it ** Size reduced from +4GB to aroind 2GB using different techniques. ** Still unknown how we will deploy it. * Tested the health check on the beaglebone black * Created a export of the virtual machine and am currently debugging issues around the re-import on other user machines * Support Ben H. with several issue he has found with Board at desk - Single dev since he is trying to set it up in his machine to test the CIP 4.4 kernel. ** The current setup depends on the Vagrant version that each distro provides for certain configurations. ** Reported some issues with the build process. ** Identified and reported changes needed to allow running the box under older version of Vagrant for, in this case, Debian Stable. * Created new milestones for the project. ** Link: https://gitlab.com/cip-project/testing/milestones ** Processed the requests we've got after the Beta release and moved them to the right milestone. CIP kernel maintenance * Going through several questions raised by Members after ELC * Reviewed changes in Linux 4.4.49-4.4.52 stable releases * Question to Members about 4.4 features to include in CIP in cip-dev ML. Please take it in consideration. Remember you can: * Download the beta version of Board at Desk - Single dev VM at the CIP testing Download page: https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/cipdownload * All issues/tickets referred in this report can be found in our gitlab.com testing project: https://gitlab.com/cip-project/testing/boards Codethink has published a blog post related with CIP: https://www.codethink.co.uk/blog/articles/2017/why-codethink-founding-member-civil-infrastructure-platform/ Best Regards -- Agustin Benito Bethencourt Principal Consultant - FOSS at Codethink agustin.benito@...
