Howdy, As many of y'all might have seen yesterday one the ONIE mailing list, ONIE 2015.05 was released ( http://lists.opencompute.org/pipermail/opencompute-onie/2015-May/000631.html). This brings the number of publicly supported platforms to 32 and we picked up another vendor: Centec.
While this is a fine milestone in it's own right, I would like to focus on one key nugget in this release: ONIE NOS Validation ( https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/wiki/NOS-Validation). Starting with release 2015.05, ONIE is now able to perform NOS Validation to ensure a given NOS complies with the ONIE Software Contract: * No modification to ONIE (files, partition layout, etc...) * The ability for a user to uninstall a NOS and install another NOS * The ability for a user to update ONIE after a NOS has been installed * The ability for a user to enter ONIE's rescue mode after a NOS has been installed * The ability for a user to install and uninstall a NOS and update ONIE when a Diagnostic Image is present on the device ONIE Compliance Testing has been focused on ensuring that hardware vendors adhere to the ONIE spec, starting with this release, we have expanded it to include NOS vendors as well ( https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/wiki/Testing-and-Certification). +--+ Carlos
