UNH-IOL – Who we are
• A neutral and independent lab that tests networking and data communications
products for businesses across the globe.
• Started in 1988 on the University of New Hampshire Durham, NH campus.
• Non-profit organization and 100% funded by commercial industry with over 150+
member companies.
• State of the art facility with 27,000+ sq. ft. (1 hour outside Boston, USA).
• 4,200 sq. feet of pre-wired space dedicated to Plugfests.

– Based on the PCIe specification
– Based on standard OS drivers with no quirks enabled
SBBR defined FW requirements (UEFI, ACPI and SMBIOS
tests)
• UEFI testing based on the UEFI SCT
• ACPI testing based on FWTS
• SMBIOS testing
The test suites are hosted in GitHub and are open source
(Apache v2):
https://github.com/ARM-software/sbsa-acs
https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-enterprise-acs

16. 16 © 2021 Arm
OS smoke test

5. Use case: demonstrate Virtualization platform for edge

27. 27 © 2021 Arm
Intro
• Kiel Friedt – Principal Solutions Engineer with a focus on
networking and 5G.
• Let's talk about arm virtualization on top of SystemReady
and the arm virtualizations checklist.
• I'll demo a working system ready platform with
virtualization and another that’s in the process of approval.

28. 28 © 2021 Arm
Checklist
Arm virtualization Checklist
• Is the product using the latest Software Development Kit provided and supported by
the SIP?
• Is a virtual platform available for this system? Which ones?
• openStack
• Enea Edge
• TelcoSystem Network Edge
• Altran
• Does the system support DPDK?

29. 29 © 2021 Arm
Video demo
1. showing Hawkeye 1046a using NFVTime from telco with
Clavister installed.
• Login and show a simple test using the OVS switch
2. Show Nexcom NSA2160 with openstack running.
• Login and show Clavister running as a VNF and provide a
simple test
3. Close by describing a system ready platform and that the
nexcom platform is being certified and show its progress.
