Month: 2026-04 — Delivered major Gst-plugins-imsdk upgrades and packaging refinements for qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom, focusing on stability, pipeline correctness, and modular buildability. Key improvements include decoupled base/proprietary components, expanded format support, and clearer OSS vs proprietary dependencies, enabling cleaner image composition and faster builds.

March 2026: Delivered Hexagon ML acceleration enablement on iq-615-evk by packaging architecture-specific DSP libraries for QAIRT and enabling the QAIRT hexagon package in the machine configuration, enabling hardware-accelerated ML workloads and strengthening Qualcomm AI Runtime integration. This work provides a foundation for faster ML inference on iq-615-evk and improved energy efficiency.

February 2026: Delivered key features and stability improvements across qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom and pytorch/executorch, focusing on packaging reliability, build compatibility, and enabling GenAI capabilities. This month’s work reduces risk in QAIRT SDK packaging, expands APIs and datatype support, and ensures forward-compatibility with updated dependencies.

In January 2026, delivered end-to-end Qualcomm AI Runtime (QAIRT) integration and Hexagon support within qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom, enabling efficient ML inference across CPU, GPU, and NPU/HTP accelerators and across multiple boards. Added QAIRT recipe and Hexagon package enablement in machine configurations. This work lays the groundwork for faster model deployment via IMSDK and improves cross-device ML performance.
