ACRN's OTA: it leverage SOS's capability to do OTA


Ming Liu
 

Hi, Geoffroy:

Thanks for popularizing it, but I have not updated it for almost 3 months, because I've been busy on my line work.

Involve in Burton Ross, Hi, Ross, maybe you also have a similar yocto implementation for ACRN, if so, would you like to put it onto ACRN official Wiki page.

the best,
thank you

Hi Ming Liu,

 

I have created a wiki page that references your project from the ACRN wiki, see https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/wiki/Yocto-based-Service-OS-(SOS)-and-User-OS-(UOS)-on-ACRN

 

There is not much content in there beyond a brief intro and a link to your Github project but feel free to add to it (everyone should be able to edit that page).

 

Thanks!
Geoffroy

Hi,

 

Sorry for broadcasting, but FYI..

 

I have ported ACRN hypervisor/SOS/UOS to yocto, please see my project if you have interest: https://github.com/liuming50/meta-acrn-manifest

 

With this meta-acrn, there is also a TUF based OTA framework and a meta-updater yocto layer: https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater.git, that we can implement a OTA solution on top of them, which I am working on. Please join me if you also have interest.

Hi all,

 

One question from ACRN Technical Community Meeting (TCM) this week is whether ACRN support updated feature like OTA.

Here’s the feedback from ACRN’s engineering team:  right now ACRN hypervisor is stitched (build-in) with SOS image, for example Clear Linux as Service OS, so the ACRN’s update could be done by SOS if SOS has such capability.

 

Thanks for the questions.

 

 

Best regards.

Hi,
Just FYi.

Clear linux have swupd behavior which can get latest acrn.efi from upstream. Maybe need some extra post process to complete the arcn.efi update by copying the latest into /boot.
There is a bit more to it as it also needs to:
* Configure the boot firmware (EFI) to load 'acrn.efi' (this is manually done today using efibootmgr)
* Configure and maintain the 'acrn.conf' file which is the menu entry that loads the right kernel and options for the Service OS.

Nice job, thanks for sharing Ming Liu!

 

Are you saying that you already have a basic capability to upgrade the ACRN hypervisor (using OStree)?

 

Thanks,

Geoffroy

Hi Hongbo,

 

Thanks for your follow-up on that question. I missed the TCM call but was that question specific to systems running with SBL or UEFI (or both)?

 

You mention that the hypervisor is “stitched” in the SOS image which makes me believe you are really talking about systems running the SBL boot firmware. Systems running UEFI boot firmware are a bit different and it would be really nice to see a solution to be able to upgrade the hypervisor for both platforms. This is not in place yet for either of those and contributions in that area would be very welcome!
