+# Developer Notes for Contributing Code
+
+We welcome and appreciate any kind of use case evaluations, feature requests,
+bug reports and code contributions. To simplify cooperation, we follow the
+guidelines described in the following.
+
+## Developer Notes
+
+### Versioning
+
+The whole layer is versioned according to the hailo drivers version (e.g. 4).
+For each major version, a corresponding branch `v<major>` is created.
+When using this layer in downstream projects, we highly recommend to point your builder
+to a versioned branch and in addition pin the version (e.g. with kas lockfiles).
+
+In addition to that, the individual components are versioned according to the
+corresponding package / artifact versions.
+
+### Issues
+
+Before opening an issue, check if the following conditions are met:
+
+- The issue is related to the integration (and not to a bug in a component itself)
+- There is no similar issue
+
+### Code Contributions
+
+We follow the [Conventional Changelog](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/) strategy.
+Please write your commit message(s) according to this standard.
+
+To contribute code, please use the merge-request workflow. If you are a member of the project,
+please directly create a MR in this project. If you are not a member, please fork the project
+and create a cross-repo merge request. As we cannot run the CI on foreign repositories, we will
+not merge the MR directly, but use an integration branch and cherry-pick the changes.
+
+For a code change to be integrated, the following conditions must be met:
+
+- The series (MR) passes the CI
+- The series (MR) is approved by at least one maintainer (see `MAINTAINERS.md`)
+
+In case of major version updates of the drivers, please get in contact with the maintainers.
+
+## Siemens Developer Notes
+
+Every planned contribution to Siemens Inner Source projects has to satisfy the following:
+
+* **Do not "release"** any code or other material without having received
+  permission from the person with the proper authority within Siemens.
+
+* **Do not "release"** any code or other material without review from an
+  experienced developer. _"release" means that the code will be integrated in a
+  product or delivered to a customer._
+
+* **Do not contribute** any code from 3rd parties to Siemens Inner Source
+  projects, i.e. do not copy code from code sharing sites (stackoverflow,
+  codeguru,...), open source projects, commercial code available in source code
+  form, books, journals, etc.).
+
+* **Do not remove** copyrights and/or license references and/or license texts.
+
+* If an entire package will be contributed, ensure that the text of the
+  Inner Source License is provided in the file `LICENSE.md` in the root directory of the project.
+
+* Additionally, create a file `COPYING.md` with an appropriate copyright notice. E.g.:
+
+  ```txt
+  Copyright YEAR Siemens AG
+  Licensed under the Siemens Inner Source License 1.4 or at your option any later version
+  ```
+
+* Include a link to the files `LICENSE.md` and `COPYING.md` in the `README.md` of your project
+
+* Please adhere to the following comment header format for code files which designates
+  author, year and copyright information:
+
+  ```c++
+  /*
+  * SPDX-FileCopyrightText: Copyright YEAR Siemens AG
+  *
+  * SPDX-License-Identifier: LicenseRef-Siemens-Inner-Source-License
+  */
+  ```
+
+* Ensure that the comments and file headers **do not contain**:
+    * product and/or project names, release numbers and their release dates
+    * inappropriate language
+    * any words and/or phrases like "stolen from" or "copied from". A
+    contribution is a serious matter and not the place for jokes. If you have
+    the need to provide information like "derived from" ensure that you also
+    provide the "license information" of the code you derived from.
+
+* Ensure that files **do not contain**:
+    * configuration information
+    * credentials for real IT-environments, like server names, IP-addresses,
+    login information, or passwords.
+
+* **Do notify** the authors/maintainers of projects under the Siemens Inner
+  Source License if you find code or other parts failing to fulfill the
+  requirements of the license or this checklist.

+Siemens Inner Source License v1.4
+
+Preamble
+This License serves the purpose to facilitate exchange of source code among Siemens’ AFFILIATES on an internal code sharing platform. It applies to Siemens Aktiengesellschaft and all of its AFFILIATES that either have concluded the “Agreement on the use of the Inner Source Platform in collaborative software development projects” with Siemens Aktiengesellschaft (“AGREEMENT”) or participate in the inner source code sharing by means of any other valid agreement.
+
+1. Definitions
+Terms with capital letters are defined in Exhibit 1 to this Annex 4.
+
+2. Grants
+To the extent and as long as it has the right to do so, the PARTICIPATING SIEMENS ENTITY, which has uploaded the SOFTWARE, as well as the Siemens Aktiengesellschaft grant all other PARTICIPATING SIEMENS ENTITIES with respect to the SOFTWARE and the associated documentation file(s) under its copyrights and intellectual property rights a non-exclusive, worldwide, and irrevocable right and license to:
+    i.	 use, have used, copy, have copied, modify, have modified the SOFTWARE,
+    ii.  incorporate and have incorporated the SOFTWARE and/or modified versions thereof in binary form into PRODUCTS; and
+    iii. to market, have market, distribute, have distributed, make available, have made available (including online distribution and hosting as a service) to third parties for use in virtual and/or non-virtual environments, the SOFTWARE solely in binary form and as part of PRODUCTS. If the SOFTWARE can only be used and distributed in source code form (e.g. scripting languages), the rights granted under this section ii.-iii.) shall also apply to the source code of the SOFTWARE.
+    iv.  deposit the source code of the SOFTWARE with third parties acting as escrow agents and grant customers of PRODUCTS, into which the SOFTWARE or modified versions thereof have been incorporated, non-exclusive rights to use and modify the SOFTWARE under the conditions specified in the escrow agreement for the purpose of manufacturing and using such PRODUCTS, which incorporate the SOFTWARE and modified versions thereof.
+
+If SOFTWARE is software which has been developed and/or enhanced by or for a SIEMENS GAS AND POWER OPERATING COMPANY and for which the SIEMENS GAS AND POWER OPERATING COMPANY had granted to INNER SOURCE CONTRIBUTOR corresponding sublicensing rights, the license of this Section 2  shall be limited to the SIEMENS CURRENT FIELD.
+
+3. Restrictions
+For avoidance of doubt, a PARTICIPATING SIEMENS ENTITY shall not be entitled to grant third parties exclusive rights to the SOFTWARE and to make available to third parties its PRODUCTS containing SOFTWARE and/or modified versions thereof under license terms that violate or conflict with the terms of this license or any applicable agreement referring to this license.
+Furthermore all PARTICIPATING SIEMENS ENTITIES shall
+    i. comply with all current restrictions, obligations and guidelines posted on or referenced by the SIEMENS CODE REPOSITORY and additional restrictions and/or obligations – if any available – in an optional file named “RESTRICTIONS.md file” associated with the respective SOFTWARE on the SIEMENS CODE REPOSITORY; and
+    ii. use reasonable efforts to make all enhancements and/or modifications made to the SOFTWARE available to all other PARTICIPATING SIEMENS ENTITY on the SIEMENS CODE REPOSITORY under the terms of this license, as amended from time to time.
+
+4. Liability
+All PARTICIPATING SIEMENS ENTITIES shall be solely responsible for their use of SOFTWARE and/or modified versions thereof and shall be liable to third parties for their PRODUCTS containing SOFTWARE and/or modified versions thereof and shall not be entitled to assert warranty or compensation claims against other PARTICIPATING SIEMENS ENTITIES for defects or third party intellectual property rights infringement in the SOFTWARE, notwithstanding any contrary provisions in the Terms and Conditions for Deliveries and Services for Siemens-internal Transactions (Siemens Conditions).
+
+5. Newer Versions
+The license administrator of this license is Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, SOP IT. This license may be changed from time to time. Any change and its effective date have to be agreed by the Divisional Support Group / Steering Committee or any successor organization thereof. No one other than the license administrator has the right to publish the changes to this license agreed by the Divisional Support Group / Steering Committee or any successor organization thereof. The released version of this license has a unique version number. The license administrator shall publish revised and/or new versions of this license at least 30 days before the change effective date. Such revised/new versions will be similar in spirit to the current version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Revised and/or new versions of this license released on the SIEMENS CODE REPOSITORY become binding at the given change effective date.
+The SIEMENS CODE REPOSITORY shall show which version of the license applies to which SOFTWARE.
+
+6. Termination
+If the AGREEMENT or any other agreement from which PARTICIPATING SIEMENS ENTITY derives its right to participate in the inner source code sharing terminates, the former PARTICIPATING SIEMENS ENTITY retains the right to use the SOFTWARE downloaded during the term of the respective terminated agreement under the terms of this License. In contrast, the former PARTICIPATING SIEMENS ENTITY is no longer entitled to access the SIEMENS CODE REPOSITORY or use SOFTWARE made available on the SIEMENS CODE REPOSITORY after termination of the respective agreement.

+# meta-hailo - Support for HAILO NPU chips
+
+This repo provides recipes to build the kernel and userspace drivers and utilities
+for the Hailo-8 NPU chip.
+This includes the following main components:
+
+- hailo-pci (OSS kernel module)
+- hailo-firmware (proprietary firmware for hailo8 chip)
+- hailort (Userspace API)
+  - hailortcli (tool)
+  - hailort (service)
+  - libhailort (c library)
+  - libhailort-dev (dev package)
+  - python3-hailort (python library)
+
+## Versioning
+
+This layer is versioned according to the major hailo driver version.
+Note, that the kernel ABI is not stable and by that the version of the
+userspace components need to perfectly match the version of the firmware
+and the kernel module.

+From: Felix Moessbauer <felix.moessbauer@siemens.com>
+Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2024 18:56:16 +0100
+Subject: [PATCH] do not use spdlog formatting internals
+
+As a preparation for using the packaged versions of spdlog, we need
+to avoid including spdlog internal headers. These headers are only
+available when using the builtin fmt library, but distros ususally
+ship an external version of libfmt. Also, the external version is more
+strict w.r.t formatting of enums by requiring either a formatter, or
+an explicit cast to the underlaying integer type. For the sake of
+simplicity, we introduce the cast.

+From: Felix Moessbauer <felix.moessbauer@siemens.com>
+Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2024 12:12:14 +0100
+Subject: [PATCH] install independent of build target
+
+Previously, cmake did only install the components  when building the
+Release target. However, the configuration should be selectable by the
+user (or the distro). This patch removes this condition, so the user can
+always install the currently built configuration.
