Minutes

• Progress report:

  • Zeeshan working with GSoC students, numerous inquiries and
    interest.

  • Viktor noticed timing issues at boot time booting applications too
    quickly, otherwise the work on Last User Context is largely
    complete

  • Taha working on Dogtail and Behave as tooling for UI testing.
    Fixing some minor errors

  • Zeeshan reported on Chang-yeok’s behalf, Dragonboard is now fixed
    too, but there was a workaround used namely a downgrade of systemd

  • Dicsussion on PRs with new SOTA request merged. Looking forward to
    instructions on how to test.

  • Gunnar had face to face meetings last week which took a lot of
    time and energy but yielded strategy and still time left over for
    concrete actions in the issue tracker

  • Discussion on Go.CD pipelines and resources used in building
    images

  • More 64 bit targets coming as well so possibly finding more issues
    linked to this as well

  • Philippe noted that ICS will help with high priority to medium
    priority issues in the HMI.

  • Ticket review done in GDP team noting persistence subsystem issues

  • Roland has switched to Qualcomm boards due to fewer graphic issues

  • TOOL-60 has lots of subtasks for testing a verification, GDP team
    and folks on the call were notified of open subtasks

• New Business
  • Audio Manager discussions. The GDP patches meta-ivi’s Audio Manager.
  • The reason for the patch is that there are custom patches for each integration and the AM maintainer wants to keep the current example only. The GDP AM version is derived from the current example.
  • This is a large implementation however and perhaps needs refactoring into a more effective structure.
  • There is also a repo for audio manager demo and possibly holds the patch
  • GENIVI 12 baseline is not currently using the lastest AM. Its using AM 7.4 while the latest is 7.5.
  • Next step is for the GDP team to review which version of the AM to use and how to refactor the code into the GDP.
  • SDl pull request: UI needs testing, some testing done on a PC without SDL so testing in GDP needed.
  • Some questions on the copyright of images and how the UI adjusts to a small screen.
  • Not clear that the SDL needs to be a demonstratable interface
  • Weston image may be related to systemd downgrade
  • There was a presentation at the latest ELC / IoT conference on GENIVI and Iotivity
  • Zeeshan will send his apologies for next Wednesday
  • John Ehrig notes that there is now promotion planning for the GDP release. Important that we finalize on the feature set and documentation for the GENIVI AMM and final release.
  • Gunnar notes that there existing descriptions in the reference architecture document and that there may be some descriptions that need updating
  • Leon notes that aktualizr is now available and rvi_lib patches have been upstreamed as well. Leon will blog in the wiki.
