Hi everyone, I would like to request a new repository to be created: https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/src/selcraft This repository will host a project for generating selinux policies for automotive based on a configuration. I intend to move the contents of https://gitlab.com/mengel1/custom-qm-policy as soon as the repo is created. Regards, Michael Engel

Hi, We are experiencing issues while booting the J784S4 EVM board using prebuilt images. We have attached the detailed build procedure followed, along with the error logs observed during the boot process of the J784S4 board, for your reference. Please share the recommended procedure to create a bootable SD card using the prebuilt images. Thanks and regards, Sanskruti K.

Custom kernel build fails: rsync: Argument list too long
by Sebastian Hetze 02 Mar '26

02 Mar '26

Hi *, when trying to build the centos-stream-9 main-automotive kernel for the x86_64 architecture as described in the automotive sig documentation <https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/building/building_an_os_image_that%20use…>, it fails. The failing command appears to be /usr/bin/make -s 'HOSTCFLAGS=-O2 -fexceptions -g -grecord-gcc-switches -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -fstack-protector-strong -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -m64 -march=x86-64-v2 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection' 'HOSTLDFLAGS=-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 ' -j12 ARCH=x86_64 V=1 'TARGETS=bpf cgroup mm livepatch net net/forwarding net/mptcp netfilter tc-testing memfd drivers/net/bonding iommu cachestat drivers/net' SKIP_TARGETS= FORCE_TARGETS=1 INSTALL_PATH=/home/she/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/kernel-automotive-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv.x86_64/usr/libexec/kselftests VMLINUX_H= DEFAULT_INSTALL_HDR_PATH=0 install with the error make[3]: Entering directory '/home/she/Workspace/centos-stream-9/redhat/rpm/BUILD/kernel-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv/linux-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv.x86_64/tools/testing/selftests/bpf' Auto-detecting system features: ... llvm: [ OFF ] make[3]: rsync: Argument list too long make[3]: *** [Makefile:768: test_progs-no_alu32-extras] Error 127 make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/she/Workspace/centos-stream-9/redhat/rpm/BUILD/kernel-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv/linux-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv.x86_64/tools/testing/selftests/bpf' make[2]: *** [Makefile:233: install] Error 2 This is the unmodified main-automotive branch of the current centos-stream-9 kernel on a current centos-stream-9 system.

CI failure notifications?
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 26 Jan '26

26 Jan '26

Good Morning Everyone, In the sig-docs [1] repository we have a CI job that runs daily and builds, runs and checks a number of images [2]. When those builds/runs/checks fail there is usually a good reason that we should go and check. Currently I believe I'm the only one being notified about those failure. As part of https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/sig-docs/-/merge_requests/441 I'd like this list to be notified, but I don't want to do this without asking before. So what do you all think? Is anyone against this? If not, then I'll go ahead with the change and if it starts to be too annoying/noisy we can always revisit later :) Looking forward for your feedback :) Pierre

Request: kernel-ivos-qualcomm dist-git repository
by scweaver＠redhat.com 21 Jan '26

21 Jan '26

Please create a dist-git repo for kernel-ivos-qualcomm at https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/rpms/kernel-ivos-qualcomm This repo will be used in the same way that we use https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/rpms/kernel-automotive today. For AutoSD builds we will push to the c10s-sig-automotive-main branch. (We do not need a c9s branch.) Thank you, Scott
