Attendees:

Ilias Heinrich Schuchardt Jose Marhino Mark Brown Joakim Bech Simon Glass Etienne Alfonso Sanchez-Beato Bill Mills Vincent Stehle

Updates:

• From Grant:
  • memtest86 runs on Aarch64 U-Boot
• From Ilias: LoadFile2 protocol has been discussed at USWG and there will be a fixup on the UEFI spec to better describe the expectations
  • There will also be an effort to standardize the initrd loading behaviour

Scrub of SCT test failures on current U-Boot

• WDT failures -- not required by EBBR

  • The current implementation emulates a watchdog; if there is a failure it might be a bug that should be fixed.
    • Action: Check for bug with Heinrich
  • Do we need language to require watchdogs to be turned off at ExitBootServices() time?

• KeyToggleState -- not properly wired up

  • We don't have a good use case
  • Candidate for waiving because it isn't currently important

• SimpleFileSystemProtocolTest Flush_Func set file position fail

  • Looks like a bug -- needs investigation

• Open_Func create file fail

  • Need to investigate ACCESS_DENIED failures
  • FAT filesystem lacks open/close methods and doesn't handle dates correctly, attributes, or unicode.

• InternalSetFileSize

  • FAT info is not fully implemented -- bug in U-Boot

• Write_Func -- set file size is not set up

At this point Heinrich suggested getting together with Vincent separately to go through the failure log in detail and to report back. Action is to provide a report to the EBBR biweekly meeting after that has happened.
