Hi All,

I know at least a few IIO developers are likely to be at the Embedded Linux
Conference Europe in a few months time. Hence this email is exploring the
possibility of us doing something we have never done for IIO before and have
a formal meet up. I would propose the topics to discuss would be loosely
around future directions for IIO development. This might consist of actual proposals or simply discussion of pain points.

I'm not sure how long a session would be sensible, but one possibility is to propose it as a BoF as that fits in their standard schedule without needing any additional organization - I think by default that only gives us an hour or so. However, the deadline to propose one of those is this Sunday so things are little tight. We don't need a fully planned schedule but it would be good to have made a start. If we decide to do this I'll write an abstract and submit it.

So I'm looking for topics and some idea of who is going to be there or might be persuaded to make the trip!

Chances are we won't actually 'finish' any non trivial discussions, but it is a lot easier to make progress on topics that you've at least outlined in person.

Please forward to anyone who may be interested and might not see it on the list before Sunday. Obviously Sunday isn't a cut off for discussion, it's just when I have hope to be able to draw together a proposal!

Jonathan

p.s. I'm planning to put a normal talk session proposal in as well. It'll trawl through a bit of the history of IIO (it's 10 years old this year!), lessons learned etc. Not a tutorial, but an analysis of some more general useful stuff with just enough description of IIO to let the uninitiated know what we are talking about! I'll also touch on encouraging new contributors etc. No idea if the committee will like that approach, so who knows ;)

I'll be at ELCE and I'm very interested in sitting down and having a longer discussion about the state of the framework, potential future developments, their requirements and how to get there.

I think a BoF would be good as a discussion starter and then maybe follow up on that with the people who are interested and have a more focused discussion.

CC-ing Eugen, I noticed he has done a lot of work recently in the IIO area.

Cool - so it sounds like there is enough interest (given the very short notice!) to apply for a BoF. The tricky bit is I need to put together an abstract by later today.

So off the top of my head topics that come to mind are:

1. Userspace ABI pain points - the recent extensive discussions around the energy meters have certainly shown there are some nasty corners. The currently open question about floating point support is also interesting (though we may well have come to a conclusion about that long before October).

2. High performance usecases - (Lars leading this one if he is willing) DMA buffers and moving that infrastructure forward. There is a lot of out of kernel code around this currently, it would be nice to drag it in once we are sure on how it should work long term!

3. Missing in kernel consumer infrastructure. We never implemented consumer interfaces for events. I assume this may be because no one cares, but it does sometimes feel like we are working around that in some of the use cases rather than just fixing it.

4. The Front end / back end split. This is most interesting for SoC ADCs where we currently put out an IIO interface to userspace that no one cares about (sometimes). The plan was always to make that optional. Would be interesting to explore pushing this forward. This includes things like the little used available callbacks.

5. General performance questions - can we narrow the gap with the dodgy userspace hacks?

N. General process discussion - Is the current maintainer / review process
quick enough that it isn't causing anyone too much pain? What can we do better? I'm always happy to get some feedback on this btw.

So if at all possible, what I'm looking for is additional (of better) ideas to put down as somewhat of a placeholder to show we have lots to talk about.

If not I'll throw the above in with some editing.

Thanks all and please keep the conversation going on the mailing list. If it doesn't happen at ELCE we can either do something informal or look at other venues in the near future. Going through the exercise has made if clear that as a community there are useful things to talk about!

Anyhow, hope to see some of you in Edinburgh (it's really nice by the way if anyone was wavering - I was there on holiday last month for a few days!)

Hi all,

So a mixed bag for ELCE. The straight forward talk on lessons learned etc
for IIO was accepted, but the BoF to discuss future directions was not.

Anyhow, I'll be at the conference as will at least a few others and I am sure we can find a venue for an 'unofficial' BoF. I'll send an email nearer to the time so we can try an find a slot in which maximum people can meet up.

If anyone want to catch up separately, just let me know. I should be able to get up earlier on Sunday or delay returning on the Thursday if it is useful (the rare advantages of being able to catch a frequent train to a conference :))

Looking forward to catching up with those I've met before and meeting those I haven't!
