M1 Sprint A (Apr 25 to Apr 29)

Feature Name Description Priority Status Source Owner Comments / Bugzilla Links
OE-Core Restructuring, renaming, rebranding 1 Done RP Notes Richard M1, Sprint A - only remaining piece is for OE Core to work without setting a distro (wasn\'t originally scheduled) - this is a new task for EO this week
SDK support in sanity test framework This task includes enabling unfs and toolchain testing in sanity test framework, enabling toolchain testing on PRC autobuilder 1 5-May QA Jiajun/Meilei M1, Sprint A - My patch has not be pulled in. I will resent patch to Saul for comments. Lei and I have enabled toolchain testing on PRC autobuilder and it could work now. Patch in review.
User Creation at preinstall - status check Design status check 1 Done RP Notes Mark (ScottG) M1, Sprint A architecture was sent out as RFC
Optimise Configure 2 M2, Sprint A RP Notes Saul (Dongxiao) M1, Sprint A - Dongxiao sent a report last week. Question about proving performance on auto-reconf (needs Richard\'s reply). Put final date as M2, Sprint A.
Check SRCREV in recipe files should work, may need dev 2 5-May RP Notes Richard/Ke M1, Sprint A - Ke is in final testing phases of patch.
Refactor BSPs to use topic branches crownbay and fish river island BSP need to be changed to make use of the new eg20t/emgd/gma500 topic branches 2 5-May Tom Tom M1, Sprint A Tom is testing with 2.6.39.
Additional config options The following configurations need to be enabled to support DPDK: glibc > 2.7 (for features related to cpuset), kernel configuration: HPET and HPET MMAP configuration options enabled, all UIO kernel options enabled, HUGETLBFS enabled, PROC_PAGE_MONITOR enabled 1 5-May Rahul Tom M1, Sprint A Tom is testing with 2.6.39.
Autobuilder maintenance Bring scripts into configuration or get git repo working for those that can\'t be brought in. (takes 2 days) 1 6-May Beth Beth M1, Sprint A RFC is out. If accepted, this will be done by May 6th.
Retrospective Hold a retrospective to discuss what went well and what can be improved in 1.1 with the meta-data team. 1 6-May Beth Beth M1, Sprint A

M1 Sprint B (May 2 to May 6)

Feature Name Description Priority Status Source Owner Comments / Bugzilla Links
Layer Tooling - Design Design/Architect the Layer Tooling approach 1 6-May Architect Richard M1 Sprint B Need to ensure Dexuan and Paul are on-board.
crazygit fetcher TI issues with fetch2 - per LCS - should this be a P1? 2 M1, Sprint C RP Notes Saul (Ke) M1, Sprint B (timescale = 2-3 days) Ke needs to push to M1, Sprint C.
multi-lib infrastructure multi-lib support for 32-bit & 64-bit and capable of being installed at the same time - infrastructure in place (bbclass extend and multilib toolchain changes) 1 M1, Sprint C from 1.0 Richard (Qing) M1, Sprint B - Needs to push to M1, Sprint C due to 1.0.1 bugs.
Test Plan Create an overall Test Plan for 1.1 and post on Wiki 1 6-May Jiajun Jiajun M1, Sprint B I am working on the Test Plan and it will be sent out for review this week.
Sync qemugl with MeeGo - Status check This is a status check on how the work to sync qemugl with MeeGo is going. Completion set for M1, Sprint D. 2 Done Meta-data Saul (Edwin) M1, Sprint B - on track.
Finish LSB \"distribution\" work - QT3 QT3 work is complete. 2 3-May Meta-data WR Distro Team M1, Sprint B - patch is pending, need to figure out landing location
Incompatible License Design and Review milestone 2 6-May Paul Paul M1, Sprint B - Paul will send an email next day or so.
Optimize support for Intel hardware features We need to understand and track each important Intel hardware feature and how it should be optimally supported in the Intel BSPS. Items that immediately come to mind are power, video, and performance counter settings, etc. 1 on-going Tom Tom/Darren M1, Sprint B, Sprint C, Sprint D - Tom is working on video.
Upgrade EMGD EMGD needs to be upgraded to the latest version (1.6). A big part of this should also be to make sure everything gets tested and works e.g. 3-d games, video acceleration, etc 2 M1, Sprint C Tom Tom M1, Sprint B and Sprint C - Tom got the kernel to the point of fixing this. Some binaries call talloc(), so we may not be able to use. May need 1.6 gold version, which has no talloc(). Then, you need to upgrade to latest MESA (7.10.2). Tom will keep Beth in the loop because there are autobuilder implications.
Changes for Image Creator - phase 1 Phase 1: add mechanism to enable selection of server backend at runtime 1 Done ADT Team Jessica M1, Sprint B
build statistics reporting As someone interested in how long it takes to build different images on different hardware configurations and other assorted build metrics, I would like a web based service, that takes output generated by an extended buildstats.bbclass and stores it, to compare against different machines. The end result should be a way to visualize the collected data. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Buildbot_Autobuilder_Discussions M1, Sprint C eflanagan/Jay7/ka6sox Beth/Jay M1, Sprint B and Sprint C (or two weeks in here) - discussions posted on Wiki
Fast boot analysis Perform analysis to determine how best to implement a 2 second boot time 1 9-May Darren Darren M1, Sprint B - Darren has some initial data that he\'s shared with a few people. Lots of opportunity for improvement. Will have more detailed report next call.
Build Yocto behind firewall - plan Josh/Darren define plan 2 9-May Dave Darren, Joshua M1, Sprint B - Josh put some comments and linked to git tree with a sanity check in bug 933. Needs Dave/Richard feedback. Next week set final date for completion.

Tom will keep Beth in the loop because there are autobuilder implications.
BSP image creation Add text on the website that tells users how to create images from the BSP source. Note: This may include a script to enable the creation. 1 Accept Tracey Scott/Beth M1, Sprint C
Tarball Doc process Right now tarball docs are frozen shortly before a release. The tarball never gets updated beyond that during subsequent documentation development. However, website docs are periodically updated as changes are made during the next development cycle. We need a documentation process where the tarball docs are updated along with the website docs. Perhaps releasing and building a separate documentation tarball is an answer... This whole scheme needs thought about and something implemented. 1 Accept From scratch ScottR M1, Sprint C - Scott will work with Richard on this

Systemtap integration Make it easy and convenient for the user to write and execute Systemtap scripts from the IDE. http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/projectPages/systemtap/ might provide a good starting point and may be something we can contribute to. We may also need to contribute further up the chain to provide e.g. remote target capabilities. 2 Accept Tom Jessica Status check in M2, Sprint A, M3, Sprint A
\'perf scripting\' integration Make it easy and convenient for the user to write and execute \'perf scripts\' from the IDE. We should be able to leverage and build on the Systemtap integration for this. 2 Accept Tom Jessica Status check in M2, Sprint A, M3, Sprint A

Changes for Image Creator - phase 3 Phase 3: package format job done + image output type job done 1 Accept ADT Team Jessica M2, Sprint B
Meta targets Part of the challenge of autobuilder is that you have to go into autobuilder, edit script, reconfigure, to change just one build target. This is error prone. What we need is a meta-target where Beth can say she wants to build Poky-image-sato for QEMU x86 and have it just do that. Beth thinks this is done via an override to the web page. (takes ~2 weeks) 1 Accept Beth Beth M2, Sprint B

Enhance the deploy part in remote debug ADT is currently using org.eclipse.cdt.remote.launch for remote debug. One limitation in this plug-in is that it can only deploy one single file to the target during the debug. Though it is ok for debugging static linked program, debugging dynamic linked program might require deploying multiple files(including executables and libraries) to the target. 2 Accept Lianhao Jessica M2 Sprint D

kernel bloat - development target = boot a minimal image in < 8M - development complete 1 Accept Darren Darren M2, Sprint D
Tracing: Systemtap usability in Yocto Right now, there are instructions on the wiki on how to configure and use Systemtap with Yocto. While straightforward, they are tedious and unlikely to be useful to most people pressed for time. We need to make it easier to use - in addition to documentation/HOWTO tasks listed elsewhere on this page, we need to make it usable \'out of the box\' (i.e. outside of ADT) e.g. all paths and configuration handled via script or something similar 2 Accept Tom Tom M2, Sprint D
Tracing/profiling HOWTOs Create a document or extend the current Yocto tracing wiki page to explain in detail how to use all the tracing tools in Yocto. It should detail not only how to use each tool individually, but also how to use them in conjunction with each other, highlighting situations in which each is most useful. There should also be some extensive worked examples of real-life use-cases and how they could be investigated using the Yocto tracing/profiling tools. 2 Accept Tom Tom M2, Sprint D

Yocto Project Development Guide This manual would be an over-arching document that frames the complete development cycle within Yocto Project. The idea here is that the document would be an umbrella document that spawned and referenced subsequent documents. The organization would be the first chapter overviews the major development pieces such as recipe creation, building, debugging, publishing, fail-safing, back-door hook creation, etc. This manual will also include migration information. Scoping would be about two weeks and length would probably be about 40 pages. Overall development time will likely take up to the release given my experience on the creation of the ADT manual (there is no uniterruped time). 1 Not Started from scratch ScottR M4, Scott will send the more detailed milestones
Various Demo Videos The idea here is to create screen-capture type tutorials similar to what exists for the ADT Eclipse Plug-in. However, we want to contract out some help for professional voice-over talent to be used with the images. These don\'t have to be limited to screen-capture material but could include well-done PPT decks - similar to how other business units in Intel create various training modules. For 1.1 it would be good to capture the script for the existing ADT Eclipse Plug-in module and have it voiced over. Also, for 1.1 it would be good to create a similar module for the Image Creator application. 2 Not Started From ADT module and scratch ScottR Q3 at the earliest
Open-source Newbie Information This information will be for developers new to open-source. These people do not know what IRC means. Targeted for developers coming from a non-open-source environment. I think the best place for this information would be the website. I haven\'t looked yet but I suspect information already exists on the web. For Yocto it will be a matter of collecting the best and most useful information, orginizing it and properly referencing/leveraging it. 2 Not Started From scratch ScottR M4, this is part of the Yocto Development Guide
OOB documentation Create an out of box guide for giveaway systems built using Yocto. 1 Accept Julie ScottR Julie to research timing on this. ~Q3 is current thinking.
