curious about the yocto quality level on qualcomm linux (QLI)
Evaluating adding Qualcomm to the supported silicon list on our embedded Linux platform.
Currently shipping production on Jetson, imx, pi 4/5, and others.
Previous round of Qualcomm work was choppy. Rough areas were around:
- BSP source fragmentation (Linaro QCOMLT, Qualcomm direct, board vendors)
- Kernel and Yocto release alignment
- Blob and licensing handling
- General integration overhead
For reference, Jetson BSP refresh runs us 3-4 engineer-weeks at minimum.
Curious whether things have improved, especially on robotics-class parts (QRB5165, QCS6490, IQ-9, Dragonwing).
How much engineering overhead per BSP refresh are folks seeing today vs Jetson or i.MX? Worth supporting at production grade?
