Quality Beyond Kernelci.Org in Upstream Linux for TI SoCs
summary
TI describes a production upstream test pipeline that pulls Kernelci builds via API, runs nightly boot tests on a global farm of 300 boards across Dallas and Bangalore, and currently covers 13 upstream SoCs. CI/CD runs automated end‑to‑end builds and ~3–4 hour smoke suites, while full system testing generates thousands of requirement‑linked cases (some running days) with SD‑card flashing and result aggregation; reports and build collateral are published to a public software DL portal. Challenges: reporting trust, Kernelci v2 changes, and the push for a common test format and catalog.
