New ARs:


Discussion:

Randy said Graham will work on User Guide update.

a. IBISCHK711 Executable Upload Progress – Bob updated the ibischk7 folder but 
   still needs some items.
   Bob showed the current view of the web page for ibischk7.1.1. The 
   executables that are now available are uploaded and available for download 
   from the links. The banner on the main page needs to be updated to 7.1.1. 
b. Add Version Implemented to BUG List
   In the ibischk summary web page, we want to change the bug CLOSED field to 
   show the version of ibischk that implemented the bug fix. The HTML is 
   created by scripts. The bug report files are difficult to parse and find 
   the implemented version. [AR] Randy will ask Steve Parker to update the 
   script to parse the version out of the bugdir.txt file or from the 
   individual bug report text files which have the FIXED VERSION field.
c. BUG227 – Root Name check
   (action deferred until work starts on IBIS Version 7.2)
   BIRD219 is associated with this bug to clarify the useage of root_name 
   parameter.
d. Pending BUG regarding Platform in AMI
   (ask Atul for advice)
   Apparently, ibischk already checks for this. The problem is that the error 
   message is too vague. We should discuss this with Atul to see what level of 
   check into the executable model and reporting is appropriate and feasible.
e. Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) investigation
   (Security fixes continuation), (TSCHK2, BUG6)
f. TSCHK2 V2.02 BUG5 and BUG6
   (implementation on hold)
   Bob moved to table items e and f. Weston seconded.
g. Quality Specification and checklist power aware discussion (continuation)
   Lance commented on models from Micron that add decoupling capacitor model. 
   Randy explained how and why Micron models represent the decoupling per DQ 
   output. Bob suggested to add "LEVEL 4" indicator to the new sections. 
   Weston updated the document during the meeting to add the {LEVEL 4} tags. 
   Bob also suggested writing S-parameter with hypen in all cases. Weston will 
   check the usage of hyphen in S-parameter in the IBIS specification and 
   follow the format used there.


Tabled topics (no discussion without motion):
 - None


Bob moved to adjourn. Randy seconded. Without objection the meeting ended.

Meeting ended: 1:02 pm ET
