June 2025 monthly summary for NVIDIA/edk2-platforms focused on ARM VExpressPkg platform improvements: ACPI PPTT processor topology generation and GICv5 support with watchdog library integration. Highlights include robust processor topology reporting and improved interrupt handling, aligning with OS compatibility and system reliability goals. No major bug fixes documented for this period.

May 2025: Delivered dynamic PCI AML table generation for the VExpressPkg in NVIDIA/edk2-platforms. The changes remove the static SsdtPci.asl in favor of dynamic generation via AcpiSsdtPcieLib, centralizing PCI configuration logic and updating ConfigurationManagerDxe to handle dynamic PCI resource and interrupt mapping. This reduces maintenance burden and improves scalability for future PCIe hardware support on ARM platforms.

February 2025: Improved memory reporting robustness for NVIDIA/edk2-platforms by fixing an integer overflow in memory affinity calculations for the N1Sdp SRAT memory reporting. The fix casts the local DDR size to UINT64 before multiplication to ensure accurate memory sizing, enabling correct system configuration on N1Sdp platforms.

2025-01 Monthly Summary for acidanthera/audk. Delivered TPM2 ACPI table parsing enhancements focused on ARM FF-A support and table revision 5, enriching the AcpiView ShellPkg with a new TPM2 parser and extended interfaces. Implemented ARM FF-A Start Method Specific Parameters handling via new ACPI_PARSER definitions and FF-A command response buffer interface; aligned with TPM2 ACPI table revision 5 requirements. Updated core headers to reflect revision 5 (MdePkg: Tpm2Acpi.h) and integrated changes across ShellPkg and MdePkg to ensure consistency. The work improves hardware interoperability, reliability of TPM2 parsing on ARM platforms, and readiness for broader FF-A TPM2 use cases. Technologies demonstrated include C, UEFI/Edk2, ACPI parsing, TPM2, ARM FF-A, and header/defines management. This lays groundwork for enhanced security features and smoother firmware integration in future releases.
