== upstream-omap3-patches == * more reshuffling of patches and dropping of unnecessary changes (eg code reformatting) * we're going to divide this blueprint into four, each of which has a reasonably clearly defined submilestone and an estimated 3 engineering weeks of work in it * in order to not have work on this completely push out other items on the schedule, we're going to limit work done on this to 2 or 3 days each week * still todo: actually split the blueprint, set dates for submilestones, check that other blueprints fit reasonably in the other half-week == linaro-qemu-11.11 == * built a pre-release tarball and tested it -- looks good for next week's release * investigated whether we can reinstate the firmware blobs in our releases (bringing us back into line with upstream) -- should be possible but need to go through the license approval process since some are GPLv3 == a15-system-mode-planning == * starting to see some (gentle) pressure for A15 support * thinking about what we should do here; my current opinion is that QEMU should implement an "A15 without virtualization or LPAE" -- we have Linux kernels that will boot on this, and it is essentially what an A15-on-A15 hw virt guest would see. The device work will be needed for KVM anyway. Need to write this up. == other == * submitted TSC licensing request to add the firmware blobs back into our qemu-linaro tarballs, in line with how upstream do releases * I need to track better how much time I'm spending on things like code review on qemu-devel, minor bug fixing and other things that aren't blueprints * all holiday to the end of the year now booked (see below)
