Technical Roadmap

Note

  • General advice as per Scott Long (scottl@):

    • I'd totally stay away from spending time on supporting Falcon Ridge, Alpine Ridge, and Titan Ridge controllers. They're old, they're extremely difficult to work with, and they're not worth the headache. In fact, just ignore all TBT3 controllers, and remove the Internal Connection Manager code. The ICM module isn't code that I'm all that proud of anyways =-). Focus on writing an HCM, supporting PCIe and DP tunneling, and integrating IOMMU protections into both the NHI driver and the PCIe tunnel drivers.
