-------------------------------  MINUTES  -------------------------------------
Randy Wolff conducted the meeting.
Weston Beal recorded the minutes.


Call for IBIS related patent disclosures:
 - None


Review of previous meeting minutes:
Minutes from the 10 SEP 2024 meetings were reviewed. Lance Wang moved to
approve the minutes. Weston Beal seconded. Without objection the minutes were
approved.


Call for opens:
   none


AR review:
 - Randy met with SAE-ITC to approve the budget for the IBISCHK8 development.
   Done


New ARs:
 - Weston to confirm if command-line arguments are required to check files with 
   extensions other than ibs. i.e. ebd syntax.


Discussion:
a. IBISCHK8 parser contract draft including BIRD229 discussion
   Randy will find out later who is the correct contact at SAE-ITC to sign the 
   contact when the time comes.
   Should the new IBISCHK have a command-line argument for -spim? This is for 
   checking specifically a .spim file, so it doesn't check the full pin list 
   from the IBIS component. Is this flag required, or can the parser detect file 
   name extention? [AR] Weston will investigate the current behavior of the 
   parser, so we can make this consistent.
   The [SPIM Port List] referencing a Touchstone file, the Touchstone file must 
   have at least 3 ports. Randy verified that the current IBISCHK code includes 
   the function to check number of ports in a Touchstone file.

b. We need input from Michael Mirmak on the testing of AMI files (BIRD229.1). 
   Since Michael is not on the call, we will postpone this discussion.

Tabled topics (no discussion without motion):
