Oct 1, 2025October 2025 — Facebook/OpenBIC: Focused on data integrity and reliability during firmware updates. Delivered a critical bug fix for SSD sensor signed-format reading (PM9D3a), ensuring accurate sensor telemetry during updates by correcting the data size determination to support signed integers. This fix reduces upgrade risk and improves telemetry reliability across the system. The change is captured in commit 9263a05e1563d97803e36443f131f02958307cc7 (fby4: sd: Change SSD sensor format to signed (#2572)).

May 1, 2025Month: 2025-05 — Focused on enhancing fault observability for facebook/OpenBIC by delivering VR fault logging to the BMC SEL. Implemented logging of VR fault status to the BMC System Event Log (SEL) when the system is powered off, capturing critical data such as status words and register data for later diagnosis. Introduced a dedicated SEL event recording path and integrated VR status checks into the DC_ON interrupt handler to improve reliability and diagnostics. Commit: 798a534f744bbf960b53b27ccc9b77fb3c8d7dde ("fby35: hd: add vr status when vr fault (#2387)"). This work strengthens post-mortem capabilities and supports faster fault isolation, aligning with reliability goals.
