All,
Apologies for the lack of a report yesterday. Today's report will cover the information for both Monday and Tuesday of this week.
Progress since Friday: - Dmitry has provided both a kernel that can be built by Sightline and a boot image file . Kim has been attempting to both build a kernel or boot with the provided image file for testing but has run into issues with both. She and Dmitry are working through those issues, but at the moment Kim is still unable to boot with the 5.15 kernel in any way. Dmitry will continue to work with Kim to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible.
Work In Progress: - Dmitry's time has been spent mostly in the building of the boot image and supporting Kim in her efforts to use them. - In addition to working on those items, he will return to the CBF/CFR patches.
Planned Work: - Finish the CBF special handling in the CPR driver - Utilize CBF for CPUfreq scaling - Consider utilizing CPR driver for the GPU regulator powerup - Finalize extra corner cases in the CPR driver - Support for Sightline as required.
Budget burn: Between Monday and Tuesday, Dmitry spent 6 hours, or .75 person-days. This leaves 39 hours of engineering time (just under 5 person days) remaining in the engineering budget. I spent .25 hours during this time period, meaning 41% of the PM budget has been consumed.
While I hope we are still on track to complete all expected deliverables in the time allotted, the time and effort to support the initial kernel build and testing is starting to be more involved than expected. If we resolve the current issues quickly there should not be a significant issue, but this is something to watch and an area where we may need to make some priority decisions in the next day or two.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me at any time.
Kind regards, Paul
