Dan: This is the first time Akanksha joins this call

Dan: She a tech manager in Arm taking over from Matteo looking after roadmaps for Trusted Services and TF-A

Dan: No other topics but there will be some AOB later

Akanksha: Introduction (TF-A, Trusted Services and other A-class firmware are bundled now)

Akanksha: Description of deltas since last roadmap presentation that was a few quarters ago

Akanksha: TF v2.9 highlight: TF.org OpenCI, several improvements around Realms, Mbed TLS upgrades, additional platforms, EL3 arch feature enablement, CCA support to BET0 alignment

Akanksha: CCA upstream alignment describes the next steps for the RMM component mainly and Kernel and EDK II components

Dan: The CCA roadmap is a bit out of date. A few items in H1 are still ongoing in H2. Hope soon we can expand on what we’re doing in 2024.

Dan: We should get RMM spec EAC5 aligned components into TF-A v2.10 release (backup plan is EAC2 components).

Akanksha: Recent Linaro presentations as additional resources on these topics are available in the slide deck

Akanksha: Trusted Services + OPTEE roadmap is shown as well

Eric: What’s behind the requirement for Yocto support (TS roadmap)? Why are there 2 slots for that in roadmap?

Akanksha: Has been deprioritized in favour of platform support. It’s going to happen but at a slower pace.

Akanksha: Not sure why it appears twice. We’ll take that offline and respond later.

Akanksha: Getting ready for next releases (both normal and LTS) in 2024

Akanksha: Recap on LTS timelines -> requires strong partner support to make sure the branches get the proper support

Matteo: On the LTS side, this was mentioned at board meeting this week.

Matteo: Board says LTS OpenCI work to be in top 3 priority items

Matteo: But maintainers need to be prompt in opening these tickets

Matteo: Board asking for effort estimation on current LTS. Will report to TSC too.

Matteo: Can take figure for Arm make prediction of other companies’ effort

Dan: I will ask Ilias (or someone in Linaro) for update on TS integration (e.g. FWU support) next month along with OP-TEE roadmap

Dan: Mbed TLS licensing was mentioned in redacted board slides

Dan: Plan is to re-introduce dual licensing (Apache-2.0 AND GPL-2.0-or-later)

Dan: Fortunately, can do this as we never changed the inbound license

Dan: Plan previously was to drop GPL support but this is needed for U-Boot to integrate Mbed TLS

Dan: Have now given all interested parties an opportunity to comment

Dan: Just awaiting final Arm legal approval then we’ll do this

Dan: Migration of Phabricator is ongoing;

Dan: Now GitHub mirrors of all projects are available, can take advantage of tools there (e.g. issue tracking).

Dan: For consistency we want to use readthedocs for wiki content

Dan: Once done we can remove Phabricator
