Jiyang Liu developed core platform features for the Elektrobit/ebcl_template repository, focusing on enabling Qt-based application development and graphics acceleration in virtualized environments. Over two months, Jiyang delivered a minimal Qt Hello World application, integrated it into the amd64 systemd image, and configured the build system using CMake and C++. The work included setting up a Qt development environment in the root filesystem, adding virtio GPU support for QEMU, and refactoring CMakeLists for Qt6 and C++17. These changes improved onboarding, demo readiness, and image maintainability, demonstrating depth in system configuration, embedded systems, and kernel module management without major bug fixes.

December 2024: Focused on shipping core platform capabilities in Elektrobit/ebcl_template to accelerate Qt-based development and VM graphics. Delivered: Qt development environment in the root filesystem for Qt-based apps; Virtio GPU support in QEMU to enable accelerated graphics; Qt 6 build with C++17 and package cleanup to reduce image footprint. No major bugs fixed in this period; stability and maintainability improvements were achieved through configuration cleanup and refactoring. Impact: Enables faster app development, improved VM UX with graphics acceleration, and smaller, more maintainable rootfs image. Skills demonstrated include Qt6/C++17 migration, CMake-based project refactoring, rootfs packaging and image optimization, and kernel/module dependency management.
