During April 2026, Manan Dembla enabled cellular and telephony functionality across Qualcomm’s RB3Gen2 Industrial kit and IQ-9075/IQ-8275 platforms within the qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom repository. He extended MACHINE_FEATURES to include phone support, harmonizing configuration management for embedded systems and aligning feature sets across multiple hardware variants. His work established a unified approach for integrating external M.2 modems via PCIe and MHI, supporting SDX-based telephony paths and standard carrier board compatibility. Using conf language and embedded systems expertise, Manan focused on cross-platform consistency, delivering a foundational feature that facilitates future modem integration without addressing bug fixes during this period.
