Topics & Notes:

AI: Double check with Sudip, if the PR was understandable and can be reproduced in CI.
- Sudip dropped a mail, that he will reproduce locally this week.

As Sudip did not participate in last Tools WG, no discussion about PR was done. Mail was dropped.
Sudip will reproduce Thomas' qemu setup locally this week.
Latest version of PR is #11

Take some topics also from annual update
Discuss about x86 hardware
- x86 are known to be more expensive and has higher power consumption in the past, but this may not be applicable to any use case.
- Concept of ARM and x86 system architecture is different. Many things are database driven like with PCIe, USB and less hardware drivers.
- This is nice compared to device trees as there is a standard.
- The x86 processors are strong for computation, but you miss additional co-processors.
HBOM not yet on the agenda of the Systems WG, but it will get more momentum in a few months.
- Also keep in mind e.g. Verilog and VHDL.
- Verilog is describing hardware, but is code and can be treated like software in the analysis.
- Just a remark: Hardware Description goes through hardware verification in DO-254 (HW counterpart to DO-178) => to be double checked with Steve before spreading the word. 😉
Run through existing tickets and cleaned up the status to represent the current work an planned next work items.
