Hi All,

As per the platform HSC meeting on 10/25/2021 at 8AM PST, the following was agreed by a majority of participants on the call as well as past participants and multiple distro reviewers:

  • The M-mode requirements as in the current spec will be removed from the 2022 OS-A base and server platforms
  • The platform spec will continue to mandate all the SBI requirements are as currently listed in the document
  • OS-A base and server platforms will continue to comply with the RVA22U and RVA22S profiles
  • The requirement to comply with the RVM20M64 profile will be removed from the OS-A base and server platforms

If there are still any concerns from anyone regarding the decisions above, please reach out to Mark Himelstein (markhimelstein@...) directly.
