| - | CIP announced two relevant decisions during the second half of 2016: | + | At the 2017 Embedded Linux Conference Europe, the CIP Project announced the new CIP Core. The CIP Core project aims to provide minimal reference file system images and SDK’s to test and demonstrate the use of the CIP kernel and the CIP Core packages, a selected set of open source software components that require super long-term support. |
| - | * At LinuxCon North America 2016 we announced Ben Hutchings as the CIP kernel maintainer. Ben is currently the Debian Long Term Support kernel maintainer and a reputed kernel hacker, specialised in kernel maintainership. | + | |
| - | * At Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2016 we announced that our first Super Long Term Support kernel branch will be based on Linux 4.4. | + | Within the open source base layer, the CIP Core connects the CIP Kernel with non-CIP packages. |
| + | |||
| + | The implementation of the CIP Core is based on the Deby distribution, a reproducible and maintainable embedded Linux distribution based on poky. Deby overlays meta-debian on top of poky to build file system images out of Debian long-term supported source code packages. The associated source code (metadata) is available on the CIP Core repository and this first release contains support for the following CIP reference hardware: | ||
| + | |||
| + | iWave RZ/G1M Qseven Development Kit | ||
| + | |||
| + | Beaglebone Black | ||
| + | |||
| + | QEMU x86_64 | ||
| + | |||
| + | DE0-Nano-SoC development kit. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Users of CIP Core can easily extend or customize the reference file system by adding some of the packages already supported by Deby (non-CIP packages). | ||
| + | |||
| + | For more about CIP Core, visit the wiki page [[https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/cip-core]] , follow the quickstart [[https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/cip-core-quickstart]]or check out the source code. You can also register in the CIP’s public mailing list to learn more about CIP’s technical roadmap and participate in discussions. | ||

| Once we have [[civilinfrastructureplatform:ciptesting|automated testing]] in place, a release candidate must be tested on all the platforms that are covered, with no regressions, before it is tagged as a release. | Once we have [[civilinfrastructureplatform:ciptesting|automated testing]] in place, a release candidate must be tested on all the platforms that are covered, with no regressions, before it is tagged as a release. | ||
| - | As we will be backporting fixes from mainline, which may change in-kernel APIs, we will not guarantee API or ABI stability within an SLTS branch. It is the responsibility of members to update any out-of-tree components they use in case they are affected by such a change. However, incompatible changes to user-space APIs or ABIs will not be acceptable. | + | As we will be backporting fixes from mainline, which [[https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/stable-api-nonsense.rst|may change in-kernel APIs]], we will not guarantee API or ABI stability within an SLTS branch.
