Enabling Linux Support with Upstream Kernel on Snapdragon X1 Elite SoCs

Explore the process of enabling Linux support with upstream kernel on Snapdragon X1 Elite SoCs in this informative conference talk. Delve into the details of how the upstream kernel was utilized during the Snapdragon X1 Elite SoC Linux bringup and its role in achieving the reported ST and MT benchmark Geekbench scores. Learn about the current upstream status of the patches and witness a demonstration of booting upstream kernel with a Debian/Ubuntu userspace on a Snapdragon X1 Elite QRD (Qualcomm Reference Device). Discover the timeline for kernel support, including the already landed boot to console support in kernel version v6.7 and the projected completion of remaining kernel support coinciding with the market release of the first commercial device featuring the X1 Elite SoC.
