Attendees: Intel, Eclypsium, ANSSI, Stryker, HPE, BCBS
ANSSI is interested in adding AMD support. Added pull requests. (And everyone is excited!)
Rhette is interested in ARM32 in addition to existing CHIPSEC stuff, because of IOT stuff.
Arun doing open firmware (openBMC, linuxboot, OSFCI).
Agenda
- Roadmap Questions
- Testing CHIPSEC
- Communication Channels (github, slack, discord?)
Release
- We try to keep a monthly cadence. The next one is coming with AMD changes needed to support. Gabriel will take point on AMD support and vulnerability questions.
- Release planned for end of next week
- After the release, the default branch name will change to "main".
Python Support
- There was effort to publish 3.6.8 for EDK2 libc. That should make it into the upcoming release.
Result Verbosity
- We get questions like "This fails. What should I do next?" Aaron/Sara have an effort to improve the language in tests and manual.
- The manual will update as part of the release build and the github pages site (chipsec.org) will update.
Long term question: CHIPSEC 2.0
- There's a new branch!
- Looking at updating the configuration to be by IP rather than by platform.
- Will handle multi-bus support.
- ACTION: Schedule a meeting to present this architecture targeting Q1 2022. Please announce on github and email lists when scheduled.
- CHIPSEC now supports around 60+ platforms. Which ones do we move over to the new system? Intel is considering 10nm or last two generations.
- Looking at consistent and streamlining the logging
- Will we continue to support 1.x after we release 2.0?
AMD Support
- Will discuss how to express split-BAR in the XML config
- Switching to Python3. Would like to add static analysis.
