A2 Goals
The goal of a A-phase board bring-up is get a small number of boards to an acceptable state of functionality. At this point, a larger number of boards are modified to match and distributed for both extended testing of basic functionality (esp. memory stability) and development of software to access further functionality.
The following are the goals of this bringup:
- EC code booting and controlling the power sequencing properly
- CPU booting OFW
- Reliable memory and internal SD operation from OFW
- Reliable use of USB ports from OFW
- Support for the display and keyboard from OFW and Linux
- Support for reprogramming the EC SPI Flash from CPU
A2 Non-goals
We can go home even if these aren't working
- Proper operation of audio interface
- Proper operation of the wireless LAN
- Camera
- Linux
A2 Personnel
- Wad (EE), Gary Chiang (EE), Richard (EC/OFW), Mitch (OFW), Paul (EC/Linux), from OLPC
- Mars (PM), Eddie (PM), Beckham Chen (EE), from Quanta R&D
