May 2026: Delivered QSFP SAI Library Build Support for fboss, enabling building binaries with an additional QSFP service SAI library alongside the existing Broadcom SAI library. Updated manifests, build scripts, and docs to support QSFP service SAI, increasing hardware configuration flexibility. The work establishes the foundation for broader SAI support and future hardware configurations, with validation of existing SAI builds and clearly defined test plans. Emphasized quality through lint/pre-commit checks and adherence to pre-submission standards.

March 2026 monthly summary for facebook/fboss focusing on key accomplishments, with a major bug fix delivering measurable business value. The team addressed NVMe block size mismatch when creating bootable images with kiwi-ng by introducing an NVMe Block Size Compatibility Script and tightening the boot image layout handling to align with MBR/GPT expectations. The fix improves boot reliability across NVMe devices and reduces image-related deployment issues.

January 2026 focused on boot architecture improvements for FBOSS and tooling enhancements that support EFI boot paths and easier debugging. Delivered boot partition simplification by removing /boot from the image and ensuring necessary boot-time modules are available early in /boot/efi, enabling reliable EFI boot with a btrfs rootfs. Added a --debug flag to the kiwi-ng build script to improve image creation visibility. Validated that the image no longer creates /boot and that required modules are present under /boot/efi/EFI, with process and PR hygiene improvements (pre-submission checks and differential review).
