Re: [hyades-dev] U2TP Compliance of 3.0 driver


I agree we should align. It is a matter of timing

The issue at hand is that this can no longer be done in Hyades 3.0. The UI is frozen, and we are shutting down the final test passes over the code.

We need to role this into the post 3.0 plans, that can accept  UI, doc and translation changes.

Thanks for your time.

Re: [hyades-dev] U2TP Compliance of 3.0 driver





Hello,

I checked with Ina for the updates in the last version of the U2TP
document.

The changes mainly refer to the Standalone model (which is very relavant
for
Hyades), to the data pools, partitions and selectors, schedulers and
logs. There was
defined also an XML Schema. In addition, some names were changed.

I attached three documents: the U2TP with and without changebars, and
the FTF
Report where all change issues are discussed. The document will be further
revised until the UML2.0 is adopted, as Serge explained in the previous
mail.

In our opinion, we think Hyades should try to comply with the U2TP.
However, I will
try to build a list with the differences between the U2TP and the
current Hyades
driver (maybe we will use it sometime).

Best regards,
-george
