Quality Beyond Kernelci.Org in Upstream Linux for TI SoCs
summary
TI builds an external CI/CD pipeline that supplements kernelci by pulling kernel builds via API, flashing and running them on 300 boards across Dallas and Bangalore, running nightly CI/CD and full-system runs for 13 upstream SoCs, and publishing snapshot artifacts and test reports to a public portal. Tests range from fast boot checks to requirements-driven suites that produce thousands of cases (some multi‑hour or multi‑day, including a 1,000‑boot stress), with automated SD flashing, log collection, and triage links; private tests still remain unpublished.
