Mar 1, 2026Month: 2026-03 — Real-time CPU isolation feature delivered for iq-x7181-evk within qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom, enabling deterministic RT Task execution on a dedicated core. Key achievement includes configuring CPU isolation, IRQ affinity, and RCU settings to support RT kernel operation, with environment-driven tuning (QCOM_RT_CPU=11, QCOM_IRQAFF=0-10, QCOM_RCU_NOCBS=11) and enabling expedited RCU and cpuidle.off for RT builds. This work reduces latency jitter and improves reliability of time-critical workloads. No separate major bug fixes were required for this feature, but the changes establish a robust RT path for future QoS enhancements. Technologies demonstrated include Linux kernel RT features, IRQ affinity, RCU tuning, cpuidle control, and Qualcomm platform integration, reflecting strong skill in low-level performance optimization and systems integration.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 (2026-02) Summary: Delivered firmware and boot-time improvements for IQ-X7181 in the qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom repository. Upgraded qcom-boot-iq-x7181 firmware to version 00006.0, addressing the fan issue when EC is enabled in UEFI and adding support for FIT DTB. Extended DTB compatibility by including IQ-X7181 in the DTB selection logic and introduced an additional compatibility string for hamoa-iot-evk (qcom,hamoav2.1-evk) to ensure correct DTB selection. These changes streamline device bring-up, improve hardware reliability, and reduce support overhead through clearer board-specific boot paths.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026: Key features delivered and stability improvements in qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom. 1) DTB loading and boot optimization via spinor/UEFI: enabled loading of device tree blob (DTB) from the spinor/UEFI partition, disabled the DTB pack in UKI, and updated scripts to support spinor-based DTB handling, simplifying boot flow and reducing UKI churn. 2) USB ADB Gadget multi-UDC controller support: added a script to manage multiple UDC controllers for USB ADB Gadget on IQ-X7181 EVK, enabling flexible device configurations and smoother validation. 3) Storage compatibility improvement: switched the IQ-X7181 default build from NVMe to UFS to resolve sector size mismatches and improve compatibility with available storage. These changes were implemented via three feature commits and one bug-fix commit, enhancing boot reliability, device configurability, and cross-hardware compatibility.
