Web server migration
by Michael Ho 23 Dec '22

23 Dec '22

Hi folks, I am part of the team which has been maintaining the web server hosting the AutoSD repositories [1]. This web server was a simple aws ec2 vm that mounted an s3 bucket using goofys and served with apache2. Over time we have seen issues with the mounts failing sporadically or the server needing maintenance and have decided to improve the situation there. We now plan to migrate the server off the ec2 VM and into an OpenShift cluster available for us. We've prepared a simpler solution where the s3 bucket is synced to the server regularly and this should ease the issues we see with the mounts failing sometimes. We're currently running a preview available here [1] and will monitor it for a few days to check its stability. Feel free to provide comments if you have any feedback/questions. I'll notify the mailing list again when we plan to migrate but apart from a short downtime it should be transparent to consumers of these repositories. Kind regards, Michael Ho [1] https://autosd.sig.centos.org/ [2] https://apache-autosd-webserver.apps.auto-prod.gi0n.p1.openshiftapps.com/ -- Michael Ho Software Engineer Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com> <https://www.redhat.com> Red Hat GmbH <https://www.redhat.com/de/global/dach>, Registered seat: Werner von Siemens Ring 12, D-85630 Grasbrunn, Germany Commercial register: Amtsgericht Muenchen/Munich, HRB 153243, Managing Directors: Ryan Barnhart, Charles Cachera, Michael O'Neill, Amy Ross

CentOS Automotive SIG: Update & happy holidays
by Jeffrey Osier-Mixon 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

As December is upon us for the 2nd time in this SIG's history, we want to take a bit of time to reflect on the amazing work done over the past year, and to give a glimpse of what we will be working on in 2023. This year, the Automotive SIG celebrated its first anniversary. We now have a robust repository housed within the CentOS domain, open to contributions by the public - and indeed we had our first contributor from outside Red Hat in October (thanks CJ!), which is a great example of the value we hope we are bringing to automotive Linux development. In addition to the repositories, we have a strong nightly build structure providing a continuous stream of images that are easy to download and get running via QEMU or on a Raspberry Pi 4. The image uses Stream 9 components with a customized (real time) kernel, a good example of CentOS Stream based development, and a fun and interesting project. Since the anniversary, we have also implemented support for the growing SOAFEE specification, including a SOAFEE compatible image and (now? soon?) support for the Autoware Open AD Kit through its SOAFEE blueprint, released in November. In the upcoming year, we will continue to build software as well as relationships with SOAFEE, Eclipse SDV, and many other open SDV-oriented communities. We have also fielded interest about new hardware, and in the first part of next year we will be developing guidelines around porting and support - how to get AutoSD running, and how to bring that support into our CI/CD system. Our next meeting is set for January 4 at 7am PST / 4pm CET. We hope you will join us to talk about plans for the next year and whatever is on your mind regarding software-defined vehicles. Meanwhile we hope you have a good holiday season! Jeffrey "Jefro" Osier-Mixon | jefro(a)redhat.com Red Hat Office of the CTO | Sr. Principal Community Architect, Automotive

Request for new package to the automotive SIG: aquantia-mac-generator
by Brian Masney 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

Hi all, I would like to request the following package be added to the automotive SIG: https://github.com/masneyb/aquantia-mac-generator The Qualcomm SA8540p Development Board (QDrive3) is one of the boards that we've been using within Red Hat. The problem is that these development boards do not have a proper MAC address programmed in the EEPROM of the 10GB Marvell ethernet NIC and all of the boards come up with the same MAC address in our lab: 00:17:b6:00:00:00. Unfortunately, we don't have a solution yet from the hardware manufacturers about how to program an address into the boards. This works around the issue by using systemd-networkd to rewrite the MAC address. Brian

Canceling our December meeting, as several folks have a conflict and it would be a challenge to reschedule this late in the year. We will send a technical update by email this week. IF you would like a personal meeting, please let me know and I can try to find time to sync. Thanks all & happy new year!

Hi all - Pierre-Yves and I, as well as much of the Red Hat automotive team, have a conflict at our regular meeting time on Weds next week. My inclination is to cancel this meeting and send a thorough December update by email, but I can reschedule if needed, or hold a less formal call on a different day. Please let me know if you have strong feelings either way . Jeffrey "Jefro" Osier-Mixon | jefro(a)redhat.com Red Hat Office of the CTO | Sr. Principal Community Architect, Automotive
