October 2025 monthly summary for CodeLinaro/onnxruntime: Delivered an upgrade of the QNN SDK in CI/CD pipelines to ensure builds and tests run with the latest toolset. Updated default version parameters across YAML configurations to reflect the new QNN SDK, improving consistency across environments and reducing drift. This work strengthens CI reliability, accelerates validation of QNN-enabled workloads, and prepares the project for smoother future upgrades.

September 2025 monthly summary for CodeLinaro/onnxruntime focused on stabilizing QNN EP graph configuration and CI pipeline compatibility. Delivered two critical changes: (1) Restored the workaround for the syntax error macro in QNN_IR_GRAPH_SERIALIZATION_OPTION_INIT to preserve correct graph configuration after the previous removal caused issues; (2) Upgraded the QNN SDK to version 2.38.0 across CI pipelines to align with the latest features and ensure compatibility. Impact includes preserved graph configuration reliability in QNN EP, reduced CI-related failures, and smoother feature delivery cycles. Technologies demonstrated include C/C++ macro handling, QNN EP integration, CI configuration and SDK version management, and git-based change management.

August 2025 monthly summary for CodeLinaro/onnxruntime focusing on stabilizing QNN EP tests for ARM64 Windows. Actions included disabling failing tests after the QNN upgrade and aligning to QNN SDK 2.37.1.250807, and upgrading QNN to 2.37.1 to address breakages introduced by QNN 2.37.0. Result: stabilized test suite, reduced flakiness, and improved CI reliability, enabling safer releases and ongoing ARM64 Windows support.
