Making Debian amazing on Qualcomm IoT boards and hence on other IoT boards too!
Support for Qualcomm-based IoT hardware has steadily improved in Linux, mesa and many upstream projects, yet a number of papercuts remain to make it easy to use or productize Debian on Qualcomm and other IoT boards
Depending on attendees interest, topics to be discussed would include:
- The spectrum of boot architectures used on Qualcomm hardware to boot Linux and their Debian support status
- The kind of silicon specific userspace software that is currently in Debian to support Qualcomm hardware and its status
- The opportunity to create preinstalled images for IoT hardware to ease installation
- When to include boot firmware/pre-Linux software in IoT images, which section to use
- What kind of user experience and installer experience if any should Debian offer on IoT devices
- Whether Debian should offer some production-style OSTree images
- The state of open source enablement for misc Qualcomm hardware features
- The state of flashing tools for Qualcomm hardware
Join this BoF and share your thoughts on what would make Debian fantastic on IoT boards from Qualcomm and others!
