March 2026 focused on strengthening security, stability, and cross-storage reliability for the wlan-ap project. Key outcomes include anti-rollback firmware protection for sonicfi boards to prevent downgrades that could render certificate partitions unreadable, with per-board version and build-date checks (WIFI-15401). A certificate mounting fix for sonicfi boards across NAND/eMMC storage was implemented to ensure correct handling of certificate partitions (WIFI-15306). Build stability improvements were delivered by resolving GCC 14 implicit-declaration errors through adding a missing stdlib.h include (WIFI-15392). These efforts reduce deployment risk, improve device lifecycle security, and enhance overall platform reliability.
