Technical presentation - 30 minutes (including q&a)
Arm Base System Architecture (BSA) and the SBBR recipe in the Arm Base Boot Requirements (BBR) built the hardware and firmware foundation for the generic OSes to install and boot on the compliant systems with no need for customization. However, there are additional hardware requirements necessary for the software to provide standard support. They are also further hardware and firmware standardization needed for power and thermal management for laptops. This session describes the effort in PC BSA supplement and SBBR extensions needed for the Arm-based PCs along with the roadmap for the journey ahead.
