February 2026 monthly summary for sonic-mgmt: Delivered a targeted reliability improvement by introducing platform-aware skipping for Mellanox SFP EEPROM tests in batch runs. The change prevents running tests on non-Mellanox/Nvidia Bluefield platforms, speeding up CI, reducing resource usage, and improving batch parity with manual runs. Updated the gating to reflect Mellanox tests in tests_mark_conditions_platform_tests.yaml, aligning with other Mellanox tests and ensuring consistent behavior across the suite. This work is backed by commit 09b958a768a5cbca8c5e9972697dd7405f1b31c1.

Month: 2025-12 | Focus: Or-tools integration for Libsai on Marvell Teralynx and related packaging improvements in sonic-buildimage. Key work delivered this month includes adding the Or-tools dependency to libsai and creating a Debian package for Or-Tools libraries using CPack (packaging limited to libraries). No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: Enables optimization workloads on the Marvell Teralynx platform and streamlines deployment by delivering a ready-to-use library package. Business value: enhanced platform performance potential, reduced time-to-market for optimization features, and simplified downstream integration. Technologies/skills demonstrated: dependency management, CMake/CPack packaging, Debian packaging workflows, and external optimization library integration.

July 2025 monthly summary: Expanded hardware platform support and strengthened the SONIC buildimage for Marvell Teralynx by integrating the driver as a git submodule, adding Debian packaging build recipes, and including the package in SONIC_ONE_IMAGE. This work improves hardware coverage, build reproducibility, and deployment readiness, setting the stage for faster onboarding of platforms in future releases.

June 2025 monthly summary for sonic-mgmt focused on reliability of platform tests and accurate validation of Marvell hardware capabilities. Implemented a Marvell FEC test suite accuracy fix that aligns test results with actual platform support, reducing false positives in CI and improving validation credibility for platform readiness.
