Jan 1, 2026January 2026 fboss monthly summary focusing on hardware validation and sensor modernization. Key outcomes include expanded hardware testing coverage and alignment with latest ladakh800bcls HW specs, enabling more reliable hardware integration and faster validation cycles. Key features delivered: - Hardware testing framework enhancements: Added basic BSP tests for MCB CPLD, fan, and 48V HSC monitor components, expanding hardware interaction coverage. Commit: 08829d65aac6fe891377d023b529de7a5747d958. Test plan/results: [bsp_tests.log] showing 30 tests across 10 suites with 27 PASSed; PR #750. - EVT1B hardware support for ladakh800bcls: Updated sensor configurations for EVT1B HW changes, added versioned SMB_L and SMB_R sensors, adjusted thresholds, and removed unused sensors. Commit: d04f255fd45d6bb1c194d3a91bea4205b12f4d46. Test artifacts: evt1a.zip, evt1b.zip; PR #822. Major bugs fixed: - No explicit bug fixes documented in the month; however, alignment of sensors and thresholds for EVT1B and expanded BSP test coverage reduce integration risk and regressions during hardware bring-up. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened hardware validation and sensor reliability, enabling earlier issue detection and faster hardware validation cycles. Produced reproducible test artifacts for EVT1A/EVT1B verification and reinforced code quality through pre-submission checks. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Hardware test automation (BSP tests), I2C/sensor configurations, versioned sensors, threshold tuning, test planning and execution, and adherence to lint/test hygiene (pre-commit checks).
