Supporting Kernel Community by Enabling KernelCI Workflow on Qcom SOC Using Qualcomm LAVA

Learn how to support the kernel community by enabling KernelCI workflow on Qualcomm SoCs in this 17-minute talk. Discover a flexible environment created to validate open-source Linux device drivers and IO subsystems on Qualcomm SoCs using KernelCI and LAVA platforms, ensuring upstream compatibility. Explore the integration of KernelCI with LAVA lab automations that enables results from Qualcomm SOCs to be reported back to the KernelCI dashboard. See how a virtual test lab serves as a testing ground on kernelCI.org, starting with RB3Gen2 and expanding to other platforms. Understand the establishment of KernelCI and LAVA infrastructure within Qualcomm labs and the setup of distributed labs across multiple sites. The talk covers how enabling KernelCI flow for Qualcomm SoCs and integrating continuous integration with LAVA labs streamlines testing and validation processes, providing real-time feedback that improves the overall quality and stability of Linux kernel branches on Qualcomm SoCs. The presentation highlights goals to maximize open-source testing tools, ensure quality of Linux kernel branches, provide daily sanity reports, and offer proactive support for internal developers and maintainers.
