In the last year, I mainly worked at the CBE / Tresor / File Vault 
ecosystem. Josef, Alexander, and I translated the former CBE library 
that was written in Ada/SPARK to C++ in order to simplify maintenance 
for our team and reduce the size of the code base. Thereby, the project 
was renamed Tresor. Beside that, I enhanced the File Vault for the 
PinePhone integration to be steerable without a GUI via configuration 
and report. The results of this work entered the Sculpt 23.04 release.

After that, I introduced a new framework that caused the Tresor code 
base to shrink further and made the core logic easier to grasp. As a 
side effect, the tests on the ecosystem were also strengthened. The 
effort is still ongoing but in its final stage.

Furthermore, I was involved in working on some scheduling issues with 
the base-hw kernel that were triggered by the more recent media 
workloads. Last but not least, I simplified and enhanced the 
Depot-Autopilot interface for writing tests, created a NIC/Uplink 
session adapter and did some maintenance work regarding the network 
stack and the MMIO framework.

Most importantly, I want to bring the Tresor / File Vault clean-up to a 
point where it can enter the next Sculpt release and where it can be 
maintained resp. adapted by everyone in our team. I'm also at adding 
upper-bound checks to the MMIO framework. Furthermore, there is a plan 
to adapt the File Vault to use the new Dialog API and separating logic 
and UI into different components. And since quite some time there are 
two open but non-trivial issues with the NIC router that I'd like to 
fix. From there on, I have no further plans yet for 2024.

Cheers,
Martin
