# 00097.0 Release Note for Qualcomm\_Linux.SPF.1.0
1. **## Introduction**
This Qualcomm^®^ Linux^®^ release enables multimedia, AI, graphics, connectivity, peripheral drivers for Yocto scarthgap and Linux 6.6 kernel.
Qualcomm Linux is a unified Linux distribution designed to support multiple SoCs. The distribution includes the UEFI boot loader, LTS kernel (6.6), Yocto, and selected drivers for a consistent developer interface across all targets. Upstream Open-source software (OSS) is used extensively. Upstream and downstream drivers are patched as needed to ensure compatibility, optimize performance and maintain functionality. The Qualcomm software stack supports all the processors, subsystems, and components in the platform including the CPU, GPU, VPU, DPU, NPU, and PMICs.
This document contains information about the release contents, supported features, known issues, and limitations in this release.

**Distribution**
Access to the software sources from Qualcomm is controlled using **Distributions** and they become available for download based on the users/organizations for their specific access levels/licensing. The following table describes the Yocto meta-layers that are used to create these distributions. Some of the layers need additional access.

7. **## Upgrade Process**
Qualcomm recommends the following path to migrate the QLI baseline to GA 1.4 or later.
| Base release | Target release | Method |
| --- | --- | --- |
| GA 1.2 and earlier | GA 1.4 or later | Factory flash followed by CDT and UFS provisioning |
| GA 1.3 | GA 1.4 to later | OTA |
The behavior and capabilities of some components has changed from earlier releases. For more information, see the [Migration guide](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70020-150/introduction.html).
8. **## Prebuilt flashable images along with eSDK**
Prebuilt binaries along with eSDK of this release are hosted in Qualcomm software releases archives on [CodeLinaro](https://artifacts.codelinaro.org/artifactory/qli-ci/flashable-binaries/qimsdk/qcm6490/arm/qcom-6.6.28-QLI.1.1-Ver.1.0_qim-product-sdk-1.1.2.zip). The eSDK is an installer generated from the final image including the SDKs. It provides a complete Yocto environment that allows you to synchronize, modify, compile, and install applications and open-source plugins. For more information, see [Dev Kit Quick Start Guide](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70020-253/).

15. **## Additional Information**
**How do I enable Vulkan support on QLI GA 1.5.**
Vulkan support is not enabled on the current GA 1.5 release. Follow the steps below to enable Vulkan support on QLI GA 1.5 relesae.
1. Create workspace and make complete QLI build by following the steps here <build guide>
2. Compile xcb util
bitbake xcb-util; bitbake xcb-util-image
3. Push the binaries to the target using like below
scp <build\_path>/build-qcom-wayland/tmp-glibc/sysroots-components/armv8-2a/xcb-util-image/usr/lib/libxcb-image.so.0 root@<IP\_address>:/usr/lib/
scp <build\_path>/build-qcom-wayland/tmp-glibc/sysroots-components/armv8-2a/xcb-util/usr/lib/libxcb-util.so.1 root@<IP\_address>:/usr/lib/
4. Reboot the device
5. Now Vulkan application shall work.
**How to enable 03C10 GMSL sensor on the QLI GA 1.5.**
Sometimes, the mainline GMSL camera 03C10 fails to probe. Follow these steps to resolve this problem.
1. 1.login into the device shell via adb or ssh
$ssh root@<ip address of device>
2. Inside device shell, go to camera library folder and remove the un-necessary files.
# cd /usr/lib/camera
