Embedded and Automotive/Archived/PV Drivers/Roadmap: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:48, 19 October 2015

Note that this roadmap is out-of-date. Some of the work has been superseded and others has happened.

Set up Project infrastructure (code repos and mailing list) ✓
- ✓ mailing list
- ✗ code repos were not needed, see below
Initial code contribution of QNX drivers by GlobalLogic ✗
- ✗ Abandoned, as interest has shifted from QNX to AGL, for which there is an upstream. The risk of having to maintain an unnecessary Xen port was considered too high at this stage
Add Wiki pages (instruction to get SW build for TI J6 EVM)

Xen Project Hypervisor changes: some for 4.4 ✓ see Xen Project 4.4 Feature List
Xen Project Hypervisor changes: some for 4.5 ✓ see Xen Project 4.5 Feature List
Xen Project Hypervisor changes: some for 4.6 ✓ see Xen Project 4.6 Feature List
QNX & Tizen baseports to run as Xen Project guests ✗
- ✗ Interest has shifted to AGL
Upstream RT Scheduler performance improvements to Hypervisor - ✓ See RTDS-Based-Scheduler in Xen 4.5 - additional work ongoing and planned for Xen 4.7
GPU virtualization PV drivers using OpenGL ✗
- ✗ This was prototyped and replaced by an alternative approach, which for now exists out-of-tree until it is clear whether it can be upstreamed
Adding support for Renesas R-Car M2/H2 hardware – ✓ Initial support in Xen 4.6, some support planned for later
Thin Dom0 (only containing kernel with Xen tools on Dom 0 - and no drivers or other functionality - for disaggregated architecture)
ISO 26262 certification - ongoing
