PROFILE
Ben Zong-you Xie
Ben worked on the geerlingguy/linux repository, delivering kernel-level Andes SoC support and device tree integration for the Voyager hardware platform. He implemented a dedicated Kconfig option to enable Andes SoC (ARCH_ANDES), updated defconfig, and integrated Voyager boot and device tree support, expanding RISC-V board bring-up capabilities. Using C and YAML, Ben added device tree bindings and components for the Andes QiLai SoC, including PLIC, machine-level PLICSW, and PLMT0, along with documentation. He also established a maintainer entry for Andes SoC, ensuring ongoing support. This work deepened kernel and device tree readiness for Andes-based embedded systems.

Jul 1, 2025Monthly work summary for geerlingguy/linux (2025-07): Delivered kernel-level Andes SoC readiness and device-tree support for Voyager hardware, expanding RISC-V board bring-up. Implemented Andes SoC kernel support with a dedicated Kconfig option (ARCH_ANDES), enabled Andes SoC in defconfig, and added Voyager boot/DT integration. Added Andes QiLai SoC DT bindings and components, including QiLai PLIC, machine-level PLICSW, PLMT0 bindings, and Voyager-specific bindings, along with DT bindings documentation. Included maintainer entry to reflect ongoing Andes SoC ownership and documentation paths. This work enables faster hardware enablement for Andes-based boards, improves platform parity, and reduces integration risk for downstream users.
