Andre Przywara
Andre works in the Linux kernel team at Arm, for more than a decade now, on typically either virtualization or firmware related topics. On the side he maintains the U-Boot and TF-A port for Allwinner SoCs, and is in general involved in the reverse engineering and upstreaming work around those chips.
Prior to Arm Andre worked for AMD, on Open Source virtualization software like Xen, KVM, QEMU.
Session
Arm's Live Firmware Activation (LFA) spec (Arm DEN0147) describes an interface to trigger system firmware updates while the system is running. This could include SCP or other board controller firmwares, but also firmware running on the application processors, like Trusted Firmware-A.
The talk will describe what the spec covers, which components are involved, and their upstream story. It will also give examples of already existing LFA firmware support, to illustrate what is possible and where the limitations are.
