All,
Since the meeting on Monday, Dmitry continues to work on the implementation
of closed-loop for GFX CPR. He spent .6 engineering days yesterday.
Just a note: I will be away on vacation from Friday of this week and for
all of next week. We will continue giving updates during that time, but
they may be a bit more sporadic.

All,
Apologies for the lack of updates this week. We had a slow start to the
week but are back in full activity now.
Dmitry has spent 1 additional engineer-day working on the GFX CPR,
programming voltages, and coding the boundaries. This work is ongoing.
We would request a quick engineering sync meeting early next week if
that works for you. We would suggest Monday early in your day. By that time
the work on the GPX CPR should be at a point where we can have more
detailed discussion about where we are, how Sightline might take a new
image for testing, and what remains. I don't know who other than Kim might
want to attend, but I think at least she should be part of that
conversation, as will Nico and Dmitry from the Linaro side. Kim, can you
suggest a date and time that work well for you?

All,
As Dmitry is returning from vacation next week, it seemed a good time to
give everyone a quick status update to remind ourselves of where we are.
The PO for the additional tranche of hours has been received and an invoice
set to Sightline. Work on the project will continue as we await payment.
Before he left on vacation, Dmitry had the GFX CPR work mostly completed.
The voltage boundaries are all set correctly, and he only needs to finish
programming the target quotients. He will start on that when he returns.
This should finish off the GPU power regulator work, at which point he will
return to completing the CPU power regulator tasks.
For project spend, we have the following (all figures compared against the
total budget of the two PO's and are current through 15 August):
Engineering Time: 71.65 of 160 hours used (8.95 of 20
engineer days). This is 44.9% of the revised budget.
Project Management Time: 6 of 16 hours used (0.75 of 2 PM days). This is
37.5% of the revised budget.
As Dmitry gets working on the project again, daily status updates will
resume.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

All,
Over the course of Wednesday and Thursday, Dmitry spent 8 hours working on
the GFX CPR implementation. He estimates the work to now be approximately
50% complete on that item. He is continuing work on that today.
A full project burn report will come on Monday.
As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.

All,
Dmitry has spent time working on the GFX power regulator which he hopes to
finish by the end of the week. He spent approximately 6.5 hours on the work
yesterday after having spent no appreciable time on it on Monday.
Dmitry is scheduled for vacation for the next two weeks, so progress will
be suspended during that time. He will return to work on Monday, 22 August.
Linaro is in receipt of the signed SoW for the project extension, but we do
not yet have the Purchase Order.
More updates during the week.

All,
As was noted in the last update, Dmitry worked Friday and over the weekend
to catch up with work not completed last week.
Over Friday and the weekend, he spent 10.5 hours and accomplished:
- Complete a fix for the OPP tables for CPU frequencies
- Worked on implementing the CPUs LDO and APM voltage regulators.
Budget burn:
- As of the start of the day today, we have consumed 54.75 of the 80
engineering hours available, leaving 25.25 hours remaining. I have consumed
a total of 4.50 of the 8 project management hours.
At this point, I would recommend we have a conversation about prioritising
any remaining work, including support for Sightline's efforts to build and
test the kernels Linaro have provided. Along with that, I would suggest a
quick review of what (if anything) would be left that Sightline would want
Linaro to accomplish and whether or not a contract extension is warranted
to accomplish that work. Would either Tuesday or Wednesday work for you? I
would expect that conversation to take no longer than 30 minutes, and I
would be happy to make myself available at any time you wish.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Paul
