Jinu, it seems like we still have a lot of discussion to work through on
the design[1].  Can we get that resolved before we determine what are
the appropriate repositories for this?

I wanted to check if there is any design or code out there, for such  kind of usage. The design/code can be checked to see if it can be made generic for use, even though the hardware is only used by IBM.
