March 2026 — Delivered two major initiatives in qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom that strengthen automated capsule workflows and CI security: 1) UEFI Capsule Generation Toolkit: Implemented a qcom-capsule class and a firmware-qcom-capsule recipe to automate UEFI FMP capsule creation for Qualcomm platforms. A native toolkit, installed via a cbsp-boot-utilities-native recipe, provides Python scripts to generate capsules. Built to auto-detect the post-DDR DTB for XBLConfig cert injection, requires OEM PKI materials, and deploys the capsule as <pn>.cap. Commits: d3429cf6c0302ae5296906a5e0dc9e18bcbb40ef 2) CI Build Security Hardening with Test Keys: Added CI-scoped PKI test keys and a kas overlay to keep test assets isolated from production, including a configuration that sets CAPSULE_ROOT_CER, CAPSULE_CERT_PEM, CAPSULE_ROOT_PUB, and CAPSULE_SUB_PUB.
