BKK16-100K1 George Grey, Linaro CEO Opening Keynote
- 1. Linaro Year 6 BKK16 George Grey, Linaro CEO
- 2. Why do we need Linaro? ARM’s business model leads to an unprecedented level of innovation in SoCs Intel’s quarterly R&D budget is over 2x ARM’s annual revenue Linaro is where the ARM partnership works together to invest in the ecosystem
- 3. Our mission: LEADING COLLABORATION IN THE ARM ECOSYSTEM
- 4. Trends ● Linaro initial focus was mobile ○ Continues to drive new technology across the ecosystem ● ARM from sensors to the data-center ● OSS is in ALL market segments ● Product developers need multi- vendor device, gateway and cloud solutions Device Gateway Cloud
- 5. LITE ●IoT client ●Smart sensors ●Embedded devices LHG ● Home entertainment ● Sensor hub ● Gateways Linaro: End-to-end ARM-based Solutions LNG ● Networking ● Data plane (ODP) LEG ● SDI ● Developer Cloud ● Big Data ● HPDA LMG ●Phone ●Tablet ●Wearable
- 6. LITE IoT and Embedded ● Proposed new Linaro Segment Group ● Interim SC and projects underway ○ Reference IoT software across Cortex A and R/M ■ RTOS, GPIO, I2C, SPI, BLE, 6LoWPAN, CoAP, DTLS, Thread, MQTT … ■ Sensor/Smart Device/Gateway ○ Open Source Software from the sensor to the cloud
- 7. LMG Mobile ● Continued focus ● Volume, competition, drives innovation ○ Google Android, Acadine H5OS ○ Performance, power management, footprint ○ Project Ara ● Features migrate to IoT and Enterprise
- 8. LHG Digital Home ● Open Source Platforms ○ Android ○ Comcast RDK ○ China TVOS ● Focus on security and media frameworks
- 9. LNG Networking ● ODP - APIs for dataplane SoC acceleration ○ “Monarch” release Q2 ○ “Tiger Moth” release Q4 ● ToR switch, Smart NICs, Edge devices/NFV ○ Leverage ODP for HW acceleration
- 10. LEG Enterprise ● Platform for the data center ○ ARM SoCs for the data center & cloud computing ● Firmware ● SDI (OpenStack), OPNFV, Big Data (Hadoop, Spark/MapR), HPC
