Linaro Connect USA 2014

4 Years

● Linaro started in 2010● Member-driven software engineering

company dedicated to improving open source technology for the ARM architecture

● Initial members were ARM, IBM, and 4 SoC vendors from the mobile space Freescale, Samsung, ST-Ericsson and TI

● 20 engineers started work on the gcc toolchain and on kernel consolidation

● Now 28 members ARM, IBM 16 SoC vendors 5 OSS companies 5 End users

● >200 OSS engineers distributed globally, working collaboratively on software for the ARM architecture

● $50M annual revenue equivalent

Key Projects 2014-2015

OpenDataPlane

● In 2013 LNG members launched ODP to create an open-source, cross-platform framework for the data plane

● v0.2 released● v1.0 end of this year● Members and others are

implementing on ARM, x86/DPDK, MIPS and PowerPC

Open Portable TEE

● Open Source Security● TrustZone + TEE● Adheres to Global

all under BSD license● Participation and

contributions are welcome

github.com/OP-TEE

● A baseline for member ARM products with support for 2 years

● Based on the Long Term Support (LTS) from kernel.org● Last version 3.10, Next version 3.14

● Includes key ARM functionality● Backported new ARM mainline features● ARMv8 support

● Versions for Segments● Android version K/L for LMG● RT patch set for LNG● OEM/Yocto packaged for LHG

Linaro Stable Kernel (LSK)

64-bit engineering for Android in mobile and other markets: ● Android from AOSP master ● Linaro Stable Kernel (LSK) 3.10 base ● Pre-integrated with ARM Mali OpenGL

(3D Graphics) drivers● ARM Trusted Firmware and the

UEFI EDK II boot loader○ Also support for U-Boot & Fastboot

● All components are built with Linaro GCC version 4.9

ARMv8-A Juno Development Board

● LHG announced in May● LHG engineers have worked on

the Linux/RDK platform. This is a foundation for Linux-based media frameworks on ARM SoCs

● LHG has implemented changes to the streaming framework architecture, as well as innovations to the web rendering engine and abstractions to the graphics layers

LHG Demo:STB RDK on ST 4K hardware

● 4K graphics combined with 1080p video running on STMicroelectronics B2120 2 core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU with Mali 400-MP4 GPU for the STB market

● Built on the LSK 3.10 kernel, using OpenEmbedded/Yocto (Daisy branch)

● Powered by STMicro software SDK● Wayland/Weston windowing system protocol

OpenStack Cloud Controller

Compute Node 0

Compute Node 1

● 3x APM Mustang boards running Ubuntu Trusty 14.04● All services deployed with juju

● Mustang 01 as cloud controller and Jenkins master with LXC

● Mustang 02 and 03 as OpenStack compute nodes with KVM

● Run a subset of the OpenJDK JTREG test regression harness● Jenkins dynamically provisions SIX

VM’s instances via OpenStack on Mustang 02 and 03

● the VM’s are destroyed upon test completion

Overview

● The ARM architecture is extending across all computing segments from IoT to high-end server

● Driven by the accelerating rate of innovation from the ARM partnership

● SoC complexity and speed of innovation places increasing demands on software

● Innovators are increasingly requiring OSS. SoC and support chip vendors need to work upstream to remain competitive

Industry Trends

● Working together on OSS enables companies to stay competitive and to focus on their own differentiation and value-add

● SoC dependent - Upstream Linux kernel and projects, AOSP for Android, OpenJDK for Java

● Increasing trend for major industry projects built using the collaborative OSS model - architecture independent, with opportunity for optimization

Collaboration Everywhere

● Linaro is now a Silver member of the Linux Foundation, and today we welcome the Linux Foundation as a Linaro Community member

● Grant Likely was recently elected as Chair of the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board, and will represent the TAB on the Linux Foundation Board

● During 2014-2015 Linaro expects to continue to grow its membership reflecting the importance of OSS in our industry● SOC Vendors● Distributions and key OSS providers● End users
