November 2024 monthly summary for NVIDIA/edk2-platforms. Focused on stabilizing the SG2042 build process by addressing a configuration gap in the DSC file. Delivered a library definition update for RiscVFpuLib and added the corresponding BaseRiscVFpuLib.inf entry to SG2042.dsc, enabling successful SG2042.fv builds. The change was implemented with a single commit and has already reduced build-time debugging and improved CI reliability for this platform.
