Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for AlSaqr-platform/he-soc. This month focused on delivering cross-domain functionality, stabilizing initialization, and improving simulation and maintenance processes. Key features include watermark interrupt integration with the CVA6 subsystem, and exposing cluster binary to simulation via OT_CLUSTER Makefile variable. A major bug fix ensured that idma_hw_all runs during init_unibo. Code cleanup and dependency updates enhanced build reliability. Release notes for 2.0.8 were updated to reflect fixes and simulation setup guidance. These efforts deliver tangible business value by enabling secure watermark signaling, robust boot/init behavior, improved validation workflow, and maintainable codebase.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 delivered stability improvements, regression enhancements, and PMU integration for AlSaqr-platform/he-soc. Core hardware fixes improved Snooper/CVA6 reliability and FPGA frequency stability, including H-ext timing handling, counter wrap correction, and a default 10MHz FPGA clock to ensure consistent operation. JTAG reset routing and APB log locking signal connections were corrected to improve debugger reliability and iommu/iopmp/aia key propagation. Regression test coverage was expanded (zicfiss) and test setup refined for chip netlists and PMU-related scenarios, reducing risk in releases. Release notes and changelog updates were prepared for versions 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 to streamline releases and communication to stakeholders.
