 So we had the Linaro Connect and who are you? I'm Tyler Baker, I'm a technical architect for the Lava team. And you? I'm Vishal, I'm the Android baseline lead. So here's an Arndale Octa board. That's correct. What are you going to do with this? We're going to do a lot of things with it. Not only can it run Android, we can also run our Linaro Ubuntu distribution on it as well. Maybe plans for open embedded sometime in the future. So we use an SD card to boot that, but it also has onboard NAND for flashing Android images in. So I think those are the kind of use cases as a small low power server and as an Android platform for development. So how long does it take you to start using it? Right on the box, plug it in. Alright, let's try it. So you've already been messing around with the Arndale Octa for a little while? Yeah, that's correct. There it is. What's nice about this board is it has a sister board which will pull to a DB9 connector so that you can have serial. So the RS232 I believe is right here and they can be adapted to a DB9 connector. There's also other goodies in here. Looks like a Bible power supply micro SD card, HDMI and a USB. So is there some software on it already? There should be. Like an EMMC or something? Yes. So what we have here, we have our SD card interfaces, we have a mic, we have audio output. We've got Ethernet, we've got HDMI, USB 3.0, USB OTG. It's our power connector here. But obviously it's expandable here. You have a series of input outputs which can be configured to do various other things. So let's try hooking it up. So what did you mainly do with this? The idea is you're going to have a Leonardo Android built for Andy Locta. And there are a lot of other engineering team interested in using this like security working group. They want to work on trust zone execution environment. And they're planning to use this as a reference platform for the same. So you're using this board to run the latest Leonardo Android? Yeah, Leonardo Android as well as developing trust zone software. So right now, for example, it probably has already Android on it. Yeah, it should be really being provided by the boat manufacturer from Insignal. Is that in any way like the same as what you would run in it? Yeah, I mean it would be more of a stock USB or the one they get from Samsung. All right. So you have this also working already? Yeah, we've just started with it. We've set up a build with the latest kernel. But it doesn't include all the graphics goodies that comes with Insignal kernel. So there seems to be booted. All right. So what kind of other software do you have? You might be able to run on it already. Well, so right now we currently have Ubuntu, Saucy, server, nano. And we do have a desktop version for it as well. I don't believe we've ever tested that though. Open embedded might be in the plans too. So basically using it as a very small server, low power server. Is any of that by any chance like an SD card already over there? Absolutely. Yeah, we can look at it. So this is another Orndale board? Yeah, this is the one that's in our lava lab for a demo here. That's what we can do. And we can start up a job. We're having a job run. We'll just go ahead and cancel this one and we'll start up another one. So lava for anybody that doesn't know is our automation framework here at Lanaro. We use lava to validate all of our software engineering output on real hardware. So essentially it's our metal as a surface at Lanaro. And just about every platform we have is supported. So let's take a look, okay. So we'll go ahead and resubmit. So for example, if it's Ubuntu right now, it would be loaded into this memory instead of the Android right in there. Actually, so what we can do is you can actually dual boot this platform. So you can use Ubuntu that's on the SD card to boot and then load Ubuntu or open embedded or whatever your favorite distro is. Or if you remove the SD card, it'll use the onboard flash to load a boot loader that's capable of using fast boot and just boot it to the Android image. So it's nice if you want to play around with both Android and other Linux distributions. And what kind of other things would you think people would do with the Orndale Octa board? Well, so we're doing it at Lanaro. We're using toolchain validation on native hardware. So it's a very fast platform. It's got eight cores for the A7 for the May 15. It's got a large amount of memory. I think it's two gigabytes. So we do use it for, you know, we're hoping to use it as a build machine for building native ARM packages. So when you run something on it, what's the output you can get? What you can see? So we're going to see the serial output. So we'll get a console and do our Ubuntu image. And then we'll invoke some test cases on it. In this case, this is building our GCC toolchain. It will take a second here. This is our power monitor that we use to monitor power. Right now it's off, not providing any power to the board. What will happen is lava will instruct this device to power on the board. We'll be able to see the current output here, as well as the watt hours. Is a board like this the same kind of power consumption as an end device with the same SSE? Well, typically these are reference designs. So they're not as finely tuned as say, you know, your typical standard cell phone. So no, but they'll be close. And you know, that's where taking something that's a reference design like this and making it into a product, that's what the companies are there for. It's quite a lot of work. So do you have a bunch of them already in the lava? We do have two in Cambridge. One on our community server as well. So we do have three. This is the fourth one that will be going in. And I'm hoping for some more hardware as well. But just in general, like all the R&DL boards that get sold into the market, what do people use them for outside? Well, what's interesting is the original R&DL board has a SATA connector. So it opens up a little bit more possibilities. You can add some large storage onto the device. So another neat thing is KVM running virtualization on ARM, specifically on the A15 chip. So that's a lot of our virtualization team uses the R&DL for that reason alone. Do you think people buy those to test out some specific apps or to optimize OSes mainly? Yeah, I think, I mean, that's more of what we do here at Lenaro. You know, we're not really into the app space, but more of the platform space. And so that's what we do is we prove out, you know, our kernel designs and some of our user space software that we do have, namely, you know, OpenJDK, you know, and making sure that the ARM packages that you find on these distributions work properly and that they're optimized for the ARM architecture. And if people want to optimize Ubuntu or if they want to play around with Chromium maybe? That would be an interesting one. I know there's a new Chromebook out there that was just announced that's going to have the same chip that's on this octave board here that'll be running Chromium. So I do think we'll probably see that at some point. So now, what do you see here? Actually, wait, here's the problem. Let me pull it. That's cool. That's fine.
