6. Hardware OS Linux Windows Hypervisor
7. What is HCL? Hardware Compatibility List
8. What is HCL? Windows Linux Hypervisor Windows Hardware Compatibility Program VMware Ready Citrix Ready Commercial Distro Community Distro
9. Linux HCL – Commercial Distro • Red Hat – Ecosystem Catalog • SUSE – Yes Bulletin • Ubuntu – Certified Hardware
10. Linux HCL – Commercial Distro : Red Hat
11. Linux HCL – Commercial Distro : Red Hat

13. Linux HCL – Commercial Distro : Red Hat
14. Linux HCL – Commercial Distro : SUSE
15. Linux HCL – Commercial Distro : SUSE
16. Linux HCL – Commercial Distro : SUSE
17. Linux HCL – Commercial Distro : Ubuntu
18. Linux HCL – Commercial Distro : Ubuntu
19. Linux HCL – Commercial Distro : Ubuntu
20. Linux HCL – Commercial Distro How to achieve all this? 1. Ecosystem – partner with hardware vendors 2. Test suite – developing new test instances, automation 3. Lots of documents – requirements, testing guide…etc 4. Review Process – pass all test instances, no proprietary drivers…etc 5. Website – a website to list all of compatible hardware
21. Linux HCL – Community Distro • Arch Linux – Arch Linux HCL • Mint – Mint HCL • Debian – Debian HCL • Fedora – Fedora HCL (Archived in 2016) • CentOS – CentOS HCL
22. Linux HCL – Community Distro : Arch Linux
23. Linux HCL – Community Distro : Arch Linux Providing basic hardware check methods at main page to guide users configurate their laptop properly.
24. Linux HCL – Community Distro : Arch Linux
25. Linux HCL – Community Distro : Arch Linux
26. Linux HCL – Community Distro : Mint HCL
27. Linux HCL – Community Distro : Mint HCL
28. Linux HCL – Community Distro : Debian
29. Linux HCL – Community Distro : Debian
30. Linux HCL – Community Distro : Fedora
31. Linux HCL – Community Distro : CentOS
32. Linux HCL – Community Distro How do community distros deal with HCL? • Wiki based HCL • Device driver check & report database • Reference other database • Not provide HCL
33. Outline l What is HCL? l Look At openSUSE HCL l Re-Thinking openSUSE HCL
34. openSUSE – openSUSE HCL
37. Challenges with Current HCL l The data could easily be out dated l Inconsistent information l Lack of specific validation process l Lack of detail hardware information l Not everyone know how to edit wiki pages
38. Outline l What is HCL? l Look At openSUSE HCL l Re-Thinking openSUSE HCL
39. Why = The Purpose What is your cause? What do you believe? People should know if their hardware could work with openSUSE before they use it. How = The Process Specific actions taken to realize the Why. Provide a list of hardware that prove to be worked What = The Result What do you do? The result of Why. 1. Check the HCL first before you buy the hardware 2. If your hardware works, input your workable model on openSUSE HCL wiki page Re - Thinking HCL Simon Sinek – Golden Circle
40. Thinking About how to achieve the WHY Idea A • Create a HCL Program Idea B • Test at first sight! Idea C • Provide a guideline for Wiki HCL
41. Idea A – Create a HCL Program Invite hardware vendors/users to test their hardware 1. Provide a simple guideline to test hardware 2. Provide a simple test tool to test hardware 3. Create a log collecting process 4. Review logs automatically 5. Post result to HCL
42. Idea B – Test At First Sight Invite users to test their hardware while the first time login 1. Pop up a welcome wizard that inviting users to test the hardware 2. Only test major components. Ex: Graphic, network, Audio…etc 3. Let user decide if they want to post the result to HCL 4. Marked different labels on the website if reported a certain numbers of workable hardware.
43. Idea C – Provide a Guide for Wiki HCL Provide specific steps to guiding users test the hardware properly and provide the result in a standard format. 1. Guiding users how to test there hardware properly 2. Suggesting users to input the data by a standard process 3. Encourage people to add more hardware models
44. Reference test frameworks 1. HW Probe 2. Avocado Test Framework • Avocado misc test 3. Linux Test Project 4. Phoronix Test Suite
