Just an FYI: as it turns out, my vacation time will continue up to
the
11th of January (a week from Monday), so I'll not be able to attend
any
meeting on the 4th.

Thank you, Atish, for stepping in.  I really appreciate it!

Due to some internal timelines at work, I will not be able to

tomorrow's meeting (14 Dec 2020).  If Atish or Anup is willing to
be
chair, that's fine -- please document what happened and either
post
it on the wiki or send notes to me and I'll post them later.

I have updated the wiki page with today's notes.

Topics I had hoped to cover are:

1) ~20 min for the hypervisor effort
2) Any objections to PMU addition to the SBI spec?  I think not,
so
   I believe these changes can be added to the spec.
3) Next steps:
   -- Goal: produce initial draft of Linux spec
   -- Questions to be investigate:
      -- ISA: is RVA19 sufficient?  I believe Paul was going to
look
         into this (I may have written that down wrong).
      -- EBBR: can this be re-used wholesale?  If not, why?  If
so,
         is it sufficient?  Does Atish have time to investigate?

We did not get time to discuss this. I am planning to send a
revised
patch for EBBR. IMO, it can be used as is for UEFI boot flow in the
platform specification.

We can have a few discussion on this as well once in next meetings.
If there is any concern, we can address that by including it in
EBBR as
well.

      -- Minimal hardware: what is the least common denominator
for
         hardware to run Linux?  Volunteers?

If the decision is to not have a meeting, please discuss the next
steps here -- these are the first three topics I think we need to
resolve to get a start on a Linux spec.  There are lots of
topics,
to be sure, but this is a good place to start.

I will also cancel the remainder of the meetings in December.  I
for
one will not be available until January 2021.  If someone would
still
like to leave these on the calendar and meet anyway, please let
me
know.

I have taken the liberty to cancel those expecting that there won't
be
any interest to conduct meeting during holidays. I hope that's not
an
issue for anybody 😁️. Happy Holidays!!

Thanks.  Sorry if this is short notice; it's been a long couple
of
weeks on the home front ...
