Where

Extremadura organizers have decided that during easter season, a beautiful hall of residence of the [http://www.unex.es/ University of Extremadura] would be the [http://www.unex.es/eweb/RVC/ best place to stay]. Located in [http://www.jarandilla.com/ Jarandilla de la Vera] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A1ceres_%28province%29 Cáceres province].

Networking stuff- like cables, switches, APs, etc - is provided for University and the Junta de Extremadura. If you have any specific needs you can't carry with you, please inform organizers.

Accommodation

The organizers have reserved 12 double rooms for the event. If you have any preferences who to be with, edit ["DebianEmbeddedWorkSessionExtremadura2006/Bedrooms"]. Else we'll fill you in :)

Transport from Madrid Airport to Jarandilla

  • How are people going to get to Jarandilla from the airport?

Extremadura has organized a bus for us. The bus in will be in the bus parking of Terminal 1, it's from the "Autobuses Gonzalez" company. It will be there at 13.00, and leaves as soon the people from .fi (the last flight we know people are coming with) get throught the airport. If needed, anyone can call Dario to his cell phone, he'll be at the airport.

Food

The sponsor is also taking care of food for the attendees. If somebody have any particular preference/need (like vegans or allergies) please contact the Local Contacts.

Agenda

These are mostly ideas I gathered when I got the idea of this session. I haven't recieved much feedback, so I assume these ideas are not completly off base. I hope people think a bit about the big picture, and how to save their own work in long term by getting more embedded friendlyness in Debian.

  • ["Embedded Debian"] in general
  • Howto to unify all the separate "embedded Debian" efforts
  • Generate SLIND patches and integrate them into Debian
  • bring [http://lists.debian.org/debian-embedded/2005/11/msg00014.html Ed's framework] upto date with Etch.

  • Minimal rootfs of etch.. with 250MB basic install the need is greater than ever
  • create configurations for various devices and document howto do them
    • Linksys routers, Peplink, NAS devices, pda's/phones..
    • make it easy build bootable filesystem images
    • promote DEBUILD_OPTIONS=nodocs flag for not building docs
    • promote DEBUILD_OPTIONS=notest for skipping tests
    • stripping of unneccessary bits of packages (extend [http://packages.qa.debian.org/k/kernel-wedge.html kernel-wedge]?)

  • Dpkg subarch support and name for ARM EABI port
    • SLIND calls uclibc ports uclibc-i386 style
    • some people want i386-uclibc
    • ya, flamewar!
  • prepare uclibc port(s)
  • ArmEabiPort/sh3/blackfin/coldfire and similar "slow/embedded" arch porting
  • gpe/opie/maemo packaging and uploading to debian
  • Kill scratchbox in it's current form and make a better scratchbox2
  • cross-compiling for buildd's
  • unify, automate (and make easier) crosscompiler building
    • SLIND xcompiler packages
    • Wookey's xcompiler packages/scripts
    • crosstool
  • embedian/ dir vs usablity of udebs for embedded
  • rootfs generation: tarball, jffs2, cramfs, nfsroot + sundry flash formats
  • EmDebian kernel integrations

  • Write some benchmark to test toolchain builds.
  • Write new documentation & webpage update. improve wiki..

Flight tickets status

Ticket information has been sent. Arrival information of Guillem, Philippe and Alexander is still unknown!

Madrid Airport warning

All flights are going to Madrid, they have a new Terminal 4, a.k.a Terminator 4. Be aware, that people lose baggage and flights because flighing gates are 20-25 minutes away from security point, and a long way from checking point. Take this as a *WARNING* and please take care with your baggage. Also baggage handling is automatic and i think they really need some emdebian geeks to stay over there for a couple months fixing their stuff. Please *DO NOT LOSE YOUR GADGETS*.

Ie, try survive with just hand luggage!

Sure

Hardware and interests

Since we are embedded, instead of say, s390, getting target hardware transported is easy. One of the advantages of meeting physically we exploit is meeting with systems you don't deal with usually. putting them in handluggage is good idea :)

  • Riku:
  • Wookey:
    • Bringing Balloon, and ARM EB (4-core) system
    • Merge SLIND/emdebian compiler-build systems. Automate them. ARM EABI, dpkg-cross building.
  • Hector:
  • Simon:
    • Bunch of picotuxen
    • Package manager and toolchain stuff
    • FPU issues with AT91RM9200
  • Jonas:
    • I'll bring two jornada 690s(sh3) and a fritzbox sl(mips ar7 dsl router)
    • scratchbox qte/opie and in case it doesn't work already
    • initrds to boot from pcmcia cards.
    • I'd also like to discuss ways to fully bootstrap a system.
  • Martin:
    • NSLU2
  • Colin:
    • I'll bring a Balloon
    • work on Emdebian build/package system
  • Ed:
    • Nokia 770 if needed.
    • Scratchbox, Arm EABI, STAG framework, uclibc build
  • JoeyHess

    • Working on nslu2/linksys Debian stuff, also work for ARM board manufacturer ADS. Will bring a NSLU2 and a bitsyxb or possibly a sphere.
