We could also think about replacing iPXE with an DDE Linux-based driver component. > Given your invaluable contribution to the PinePhone topic - speaking of > camera, GPU, and audio - your further engagement in these areas would be > very welcome as well. That is what I summarized under “project work” ☺. Of course I have some basic ideas concering the PinePhone (like having an eBook reader component - an updated MuPDF would fit the bill, or having an audio player where I already tinkered with LVGL as an interface for the 'audio_player' component) but hopefully I will manage to work an these a long the line. > The other two topics mentioned (NVMe and AMD) leave me a bit uncertain > regarding the road map.

Again, it focuses on my personal use-case where I use multiple VMs that directly access the NVMe device (via 'part_block' of course) as storage backend (as such devices are able to make use of serveral I/O submission and completion queues and naturally feature MSI(-X) support one could exploit that for perfomance optimizations like minimizing cross-core IPC, handling clients in a disjunct fashion etc). Of course changing the driver component is only (arguebly) a small part as there are more parties involved (libc, VFS, kernel). Maybe the over all theme could be “Optimized I/O for <inserthere>” as that would probably fall in line with the VFS renovations.
