Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for the qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom repository. Delivered core platform updates that improve boot reliability, storage configuration, and long-term support across QCS6490 and QCS9100 devices. Key features and improvements included: - Bootloader upgrade to 00058.0 for QCS6490 and QCS9100, enabling KVM and UEFI support, Capsule Update functionality, and updated firmware/checksum references to ensure devices boot with latest capabilities. - Partition configuration alignment to qclinux 1.3 across QCM6490 and QCS9100, standardizing A/B upgrade partitions, partition names and GUID handling (including uppercase GUIDs), and removal of unused items (e.g., keymint.mbn). - Kernel upgrade to 6.12 (LTS) to align with the upcoming long-term support cycle and ongoing security updates. - VFAT sector size configurability centralized (default 4096), enabling UFS compatibility and cleanup of obsolete mkfs.vfat parameters across builds. - CDT reference correction for qcs9100-ride-sx boot (v3 CDT URL and SHA256 checksum) to ensure correct CDT is used during boot. Major bugs fixed and maintenance completed: cleanup of outdated Yocto 6.6 references and alignment efforts to maintain consistency with qclinux 1.3 across devices. Overall impact and accomplishments: These changes reduce maintenance burden, improve device boot reliability and upgrade resilience, and strengthen security posture through the 6.12 LTS kernel and updated CDT references. The work also aligns downstream naming and partition conventions, reducing integration risk for downstream teams. Technologies/skills demonstrated: bootloader firmware management (QCOM), UEFI and KVM support, Capsule Update workflow, partitioning and GUID standards, kernel lifecycle management (LTS 6.12), VFAT filesystem configuration, Yocto project housekeeping, and CDT integrity checks.
