Meeting Title: | Meeting to continue discussion on Target Connection Adapter proposal |
Date & Time: | Monday November 14, 2005 at 3pm CET |
Location: | WR Office, Salzburg, Austria |
Attendants
- Peter Lachner, Intel
- Martin Oberhuber, Wind River
- Felix Burton, Wind River
- Michael Scharf, Wind River
Notes
- Peter shows slide with new scenarios for connectors.
- Felix: The most difficult thing with the TCA proposal is defining the interfaces.
- Start by defining only interfaces that TM needs for registering connectors, and defining dependencies between them.
- Additional interfaces to be defined by connectors themselves
- TM to provide a GUI to show basic services on a target
- Selecting a particular entity on a target might reveal new services (with interfaces defined by the parent)
- We need to separate the protocol from the connection (somebody might want to do a protocol without a connection, just for translating protocols).
- Michael: Connectors are like resolvers - they resolve "I want to... with target" by providing the right connection module and protocols. There might be some preconfigured resolutions, plus some autodetected resolutions.
- With our connector chain represented by some "black boxes", we want as little intelligence as possible to reside in the individual boxes.
- Michael: Interfaces for the various protocols provided by connectors could be specified in an "action-like" manner: each action to be executed is an interface in its own right, which may be available or not
