Attendees: Don, Glen, Anton, Xinyu
Brief meeting due to the holidays
Don: MUSCA-B1 TESTCHIP Board agreement signed and sending back to Arm to
enable sending spares to Linaro lab.
Don: Extra server rack passed, so starting to order equipment. Linaro will
begin ordering the equipment. This is expected to take a couple of months
to receive everything and then perform the buildout
Glen: FYI: Covid is forcing a staggered schedule supporting the lab. This
does create some strain in the lab, but the team is doing its best to keep
it going.
Don
Hello All,
Apologies for the late notice.
The server will stop processing jobs on 2021-12-15 at around
20:00 UTC, as the server will be put into "Shutdown mode".
This downtime is required to install the 'role-strategy' plugin and make
the configuration changes necessary to migrate to it. Several updates for
currently installed plugins will also be included.
Start: 2021-12-15 21:00 UTC
End: 2021-12-16 01:00 UTC
Regards,

Minutes:
- Glen: Good progress on mbed tls. Want to update production with
authentication models tomorrow.
- Kelley: Finishing some details on groups layout. Want to deploy to
staging first.
- Glen: Mbed TLS - Currently, the team is setting up the Production with
the Authorization models needed. This should happen this week. Have
started to share with the Mbedtls team the current m3-5 work on stage.
- Glen: Will be following up later today on Cypress and Google platforms
going into the lab. Will update the cards after that status is updated.
- Glen: Paul to start PSA compliance and code coverage.
- Will be performing maintenance later this week and will require taking
down production. WIll reserve a 4 hour window but likely less than that
- Ben: Dave to install the Cypress platforms into CI starting this
week. Chromebook to follow.
*Attendees*: Glen, Kelley, Matteo, Ben C, Don, Joanna, Dave R, Xinyu
*Minutes*:
- Glen walked through the In-Progress TFC tickets
- Joanna: TF-A licensing issues are resolved
- Glen: Re ask by Paul wanting to use new compiler licenses. Need to
better understand usage of newer versions.
- *Action: Joanna* talk to Paul and make sure the new
compilers/licensing can be supported by TF-A and TF-M.
- Joanna to also help but not until January. Team is good until
then
- Matteo: Want to confirm it's a good investment. What versions of
compiler needed. What ones need migrated? Ever a need for Open CI to
support both old and new compilers simultaneously?
- Kelley: Got some new licenses, look like good until June now.
- Glen: Also in the future, may not have an option.
- *ACTION: Glen* to create a ticket to track licensing transition
efforts.

Minutes:
- Glen: Use of staging server?
- Anton: Yes, used by the team. Working well.
- Joanna: Not really using it.
- Glen: Arthur had noticed a glitch in stage where it slowed down so
wanted to check
- Glen: Team noticed Arm copyrights in the Open CI code. Should this be
changed?
- Anton: Perhaps a TSC topic?
- Joanna: For TF-A changes, whoever does the work it's OK w/ copyrights
- Glen to check and see if any agreements outline the plans
- Shebu: What we do with copyrights is up to project
- Ben C: Use reuse <https://reuse.software/> to align the licensing.
Mainly use MIT license

for new contributions
- Glen: Update - Cypress boards planned to go into the lab this week as
well as the first Chromebook (Azura)
- Glen: Update - mbed TLS. Authentication blocker resolved. Ready to
start testing. Expect it to move faster now.

- Glen: Update - Expect scripts/code coverage - Paul working w/ LAVA
team. Lots of code under review so expect something soon.
- Shebu: Code coverage blocked?
- Glen: Yes waiting for the resolution of a LAVA regression. Paul
working this. Can then work on cleaning up output and aggregate outpu.
- Glen: Found some stability issues and fixed those in LAVA.
- Joanna: Compiler license issues impacts?
- Glen: FVP licensing - expired. Contacted Paul Black.
- Glen: Other compilers expire in January, working that as well.
- Shebu: Note compiler and FVP licenses come out of different teams.
- Glen: Paul Black suggested moving to new licensing technology. Not
sure yet on impacts to Open CI. Supposed to improve performance.
- Glen: Need to investigate migration

Anton, Riku
*Minutes*:
- Musca-b's received by the lab
- Do existing ones need swapped out?
- Don: If shelf as "hot spares" would like to pull out, configure,
and validate.
- If Musca's continue to fail, need to deep dive on root cause.
- Three were shipped.
- Glen: Create a ticket to configure and validate prior to shelving
as hot spares
- Ben: TFC-200 closed out (inconsistent test results).
- Several tickets to close
- Glen: Issue TFC-199 logged by Joanna. Failed docker builds
- Arm changed compiler release process. Need a new process to get
compilers/docker images.
- Joanna: Options being explored. Automation of login.
- Riku. Arm put this in place to force login to use the tool. We're
doing a work around of their intent
- Glen: Uneasy on storing static versions.
- Joanna: This is all projects, not just TF-A. Immediate issue
resolved
- TFC-93
- Should be getting the 3rd NXP board and needs put into the lab.
- Include in daily runs?
- Xinyu: Already pushed patches to enable NXP in LAVA.
- Anton: Someone from NXP should merge the requests.
- Action: Talk to NXP (Andrej) to get permissions. Once permission,
a PR will need merged (
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/ci/tf-m-ci-scripts/+/12584 &
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/ci/tf-m-ci-scripts/+/12524 )

Attendees: Don, Xinyu, Ben, Dave R, Joanna, Riku, Shebu, Anton
Minutes:
- Glen: Adjusted TFC board based on Joanna and Shebu's priority lists.
- In Progress: Leonardo working on TFC-176 and TFC-7
- In Progress: NXP boards are in. Leaving in Progress for now. A
couple tests are still not running, but working thru it.
- Discussed who is responsible when vendor bugs found
- Anton: Maybe a TSC decision
- Shebu: Suggest platform owners. Don't know if written down anywhere.
- Joanna: No TF-A boards in, but when tests failing, need to go back
to the vendor. In some cases, if infrastructure, wouldn't go back to
vendor. If believe it's h/w, then go back to vendor.
- Anton: In TF-M has platform owners documented.
- Shebu: May want to formalize at next Board meeting. Take to TSC as
well. Members need to keep an eye on their h/w.
- What about daily checks?
- Joanna: I do for TF-A. Need escalation route to board owner.
- Shebu: Should Open-CI mailing list add platform owners?
- Anton: Not sure that's the best way. Likely a 1:1 email
- Joanna: Typically sends notes directly to Linaro team or board
owner.
- Glen: This is focused on s/w issues. Pretty good when a hard
failure related to h/w.
- Summary: Notify Board on plans. Team leads already monitor
- Chromebook TFC-45 (Asudra) are being worked on. Next Chromebook was
also received.
- Cypress h/w goes into the next sprint to install
- MBedTLS - transition work from Leonardo to Arthur.
- Also have Riku involved on the authentication model
- STG-2704: Haven't started work yet on this (Roles).
- Joanna: Slowing down builds could cause builds to bump into each other
from different GEO's.
- MBedTLS has been delayed for a while, depending upon confidence level.
- Anton: Thanks to the Open CI team for getting the Musca-b's back
online. More boards coming to Linaro.
- Glen: Paul Black from Arm reached out about changing compiler
licensing. Will need to understand this. Glen to create a new TFC ticket.
Attendees: Don, Glen, Joanna, Riku, Dave R, Anton, Ben C, Xinyu, Matteo
Minutes:
- Action: Glen to merge Shebu and Joanna's priority lists into TFC
- Joanna: Gerrit labels couldn't be access labels. Created ticket
TFC-196.
- Anton: Need the Musca-b's updated. Also got 5 more mucsa-b's to send.
- Don: Do they need set up?
- Anton: Need one board w/ OTP, but need to confirm internally, so hold
off. Otherwise should just work.
- Ben C: TIcket?
- Action: Need to create tickets
- Anton: TFC-190, 183.
- Glen: R-pi workers getting updated as well
- Ben: Plan to get one on line today.
- Xinyu - really need 2-3 Musca-b's up to run in parallel so that
release isn't extended.
- Glen: Meeting slot - move to Wednesday at same time?
- Won't work, will investigate other possibilities
- Boards advancing
- MBed TLS - working thru authentication issues.
- Riku: Plan to switch to new Open CI authentication - must include
renaming some other jobs, but better than rewriting some MBed TLS code.
Will test this on staging server first.
