Nov 1, 2025November 2025 — oxidecomputer/hubris: Delivered targeted flash memory programming optimizations with measurable latency reductions and CPU savings. Key changes included a longer polling timeout during FPGA page programming, a pre-erase check to avoid erasing already erased sectors on Winbond flash, and skipping programming pages that are already erased. These changes improved real-time programming durations from up to ~6m46s to as low as ~1m44s across the three commits, reducing maintenance windows and power usage while increasing throughput for firmware updates.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 highlights for oxidecomputer/hubris: Delivered targeted build and stability improvements that streamline release workflows, strengthen hashing reliability, and reduce configuration drift. Features introduced multi-target release builds (cosmo and all-sp) to enable building multiple hardware targets in a single workflow, and integrated auxflash into the cosmo control-plane-agent for cohesive hardware control. Hashing robustness was enhanced to prevent race conditions and provide clear in-progress state signaling, while configuration cleanup removed redundant sections to simplify maintenance and reduce misconfigurations. These changes collectively improve build speed, reliability of flash operations, and overall maintainability.

May 1, 2025May 2025 (oxidecomputer/hubris) focused on reliability, observability, and hardware interaction improvements. Delivered key features and robustness updates across the LPC55 SWD and QSPI pathways, expanded host flash management, and installation verification enhancements. Specific outcomes include: enhanced SWD error reporting and handling (introducing SWD Fault, Wait, and Protocol error types) with clearer diagnostics for swd_setup and live debugging; robustness refinements in the SWD driver with direct error mappings and streamlined readiness checks to improve reliability; QSPI error handling enhancements across multiple drivers (auxflash-api, auxflash-server, gimlet-hf-server) with new timeouts and transfer error types to prevent infinite loops; new host flash memory commands for reading flash contents, starting asynchronous hash calculations, and retrieving computed hashes; Power Good signal check for the sidecar front IO board with a new power-not-good variant and a GPIO-based read to improve installation verification. These changes were implemented across several commits, including f872bb874ebecc056aaa4d1137858b27210fe21c, 4e9af02910dc8937a50d590051c548f912a47072, 8d4a9bfb361dc7292cca17b4b0d4840612313177, 4b99c74c4563b21ff4d098de02f194bc42f7e5fa, 2caf83dbea194477d9657c279d938b5ad4105d94, 3f419efbbff807687d685efefa4794b44f6dd0d6, e24ec288164f5d1e76bade647d9287de89dfcea7.
