Apr 1, 2026April 2026—oxidecomputer/hubris: Grapefruit board revisions support expanded to rev-a and rev-b, implemented via separate configuration files to enable distinct hardware parameterization. This enhances flexibility, maintainability, and future-proofing for additional revisions, while minimizing cross-variant risk. Changes are captured in commit 2d57a804e6fca87af5fde674d7b146d74bf91627 (grapefruit: break out rev-a support, add rev-b; #2449). No major bugs reported this month; the feature work reduces configuration drift and accelerates validation across hardware revisions, improving build reliability and deployment confidence.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026 Monthly Summary for oxidecomputer/hubris focusing on Tofino startup reliability. Implemented an interlock mechanism to replace timing sleeps with FPGA-signal-based readiness checks and added timeout error handling for the A0 state. This ensures the Tofino I2C interface is ready before proceeding and makes startup and PERST release safer and more deterministic. The work is traceable to commit 81a9b54dae5284842bfadee883d20aa70c50e4c5, which introduces the interlock on power-up and clarifies the rationale for the timing improvements.

Nov 1, 2024In November 2024, delivered a critical reliability fix in the Gimlet Sequencing Control path of gimlet-seq-server within oxidecomputer/hubris. The fix switches sequencing control from write_bytes to set_bytes to ensure A0 and A1 bits are set without unintentionally clearing other bits, preventing A1 from being cleared when setting A0 and improving reliability of sequencing control. This change reduces failure modes in sequencing operations and strengthens data integrity across the core pipeline.
