If I understand this correctly,  Tina wants these Arm machines to be used as 
build/HW validation. I am cc-ing our folks in Huawei, who are going to work in 
the community on CSIT to see if they can provide any help, contact person would 
be Appana Prasad and Khemendra Kumar.

Thanks,
George

Ed,

Based on Tina saying the ones delivered are OD1000’s, Overdrive machines seem 
to come from the factory with Suse on them according to their website.

Chris.

Gabriel,

We do need to have multiple workers to service the verify queue... having the 
queue back up behind a single server wouldn't be good.  Do you know if these 
boxes are installed with Ubuntu 16.04 already?

Yes, they are.

I estimate it should take about 40 minutes to build and test with 8 cores in 
release mode, therefore I do not think that using all 3 ThunderX is necessary.

I do not have access to a ThunderX platform on my side (I ran my tests on NXP 
and Hierofalcon platforms), if needed please see with Tina Tsou (in CC) for the 
specifics of ThunderX.



I was thinking about duplicating the *vpp-verify-master-ubuntu1604* target as a 
first step.

Ubuntu 16.04 is a LTS for armv8 and is one of the distributions already used 
for vpp x86 continuous testing.



If all goes well, I was thinking about using fedora-26 (or above) as rhel-based 
distribution, since it also has aarch64 official support.

But since it's not one of the distros already used in ci, let's keep it for 
later.



Regards,

Gabriel,

This is awesome news!

Do I understand correctly that these ThunderX boards are intended to be used 
for build/make test/packaging?  If so, I've cced in Vanessa, our fearless 
sysadmin to help in figuring these things out :)

Do you have opinions about which Linux distributions you want to package for 
(Ubuntu?, Centos?) and versions?

Ed

Hi,



We've been working on preparing vpp for armv8 continuous testing (See 
https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/AArch64<https://url10.mailanyone.net/v1/?m=1eFMO4-0003qy-3d&i=57e1b682&c=-ZITzwi6PGNT2EzKomkJRJ6M-7hD63QeHKT6tMIqMLSnlkmDUD9MfhdhuIw6iWayvj9HXr-SEr3zZlMt-TaTcUZhFRPyigiDDt7sfjQQxA8ESJIAyB06-QLH18FYzLWPwjJl8nmFi7D4ZD-9MfHHGQSEhj7_dqJNULEmezdjyETUcv28RNlzXlyC41ndbFhGIHD4TronLGLM7RL1QTG-dT2eyoBI4hyNrzA8GVmPHHM>),

and we think that we now have everything which is required to add arm as ci 
platform in the vpp review process (build, test and packaging). All the test 
have been done on "native".

Also 3 thunderX platforms sent by ARM should have arrived yesterday in the fdio 
lab.


I *think* that all that is required should be to set the platforms with VMs on 
it, and add them as build slaves.



How should we proceed from here ?
