Upstream Progress Updates --2026 October October brought further upstream progress for SpacemiT K1 and K3 across the Linux kernel, U-Boot, and OpenSBI, alongside updates to the AI software stack and robotics ecosystem. Highlights this month include K3 platform support landing in OpenSBI master, K3 Pico-ITX and boot-image support entering U-Boot's main branch, new releases and backend work across the Triton stack and llama.cpp, and continued Linux kernel review for K1/K3 platform support. Linux Kernel Upstream October's Linux work covered K1/K3 interrupts, board configuration, networking, and GPU bindings. Items below distinguish changes accepted into maintainer trees from series still under review. K3 Merged or accepted into maintainer trees - Six ACLINT, SSWI driver, and device-tree changes entered the SpacemiT SoC maintainer tree: lore.kernel.org - K1/K3 GPU device-tree bindings were accepted. GPU device-tree nodes, power domains, and complete graphics support are progressing separately: lore.kernel.org Under review - K3 UFS host-controller support, v7: lore.kernel.org - K1/K3 generic power-domain support, v2: lore.kernel.org K1 Under review - K1 ChipIdea USB 2.0 controller support, v4: lore.kernel.org - K1 boot-stage (bootph) changes: lore.kernel.org Other SpacemiT and Board Updates - Orange Pi RV2/R2S onboard EEPROM support and MAC-address configuration from EEPROM: lore.kernel.org AI Software Stack - FlagTree: On October 16, the project merged SpacemiT's smt_rvisa vector-level raw-kernel eDSL. It exposes RVV vector length, element width, and instruction selection, and includes TLE integration, cross-build support, wheel packaging, and tests. FlagTree#1381 - SpineTriton: Version 0.8.0 was released on October 10, followed by 0.8.1 on October 28. Version 0.8.1 adds the vmt4d single-row vector/matrix operation and its language interface, and fixes constant capture and build-pipeline issues. github.com/spacemit-com/spine-triton/releases/tag… · github.com/spacemit-com/spine-triton/releases/tag… - SpacemiT llama.cpp: A separate ggml-spacemit backend was merged on October 12. It can be enabled for SpacemiT device inference alongside the existing CPU path. Follow-up work covers K3 decode-state handling, chunked prefill, Flash Attention, and graph fusion. llama.cpp#43 · llama.cpp#48 · llama.cpp#49 Box64 October work continued to improve RV64 instruction translation, vector-register aliasing, and state restoration. Fixes covered VMOVSS, VMOVQ, VPERM2I128, VCVTPD2PS, POPCNT/TZCNT/LZCNT, MMX caching, MXCSR, and signal state. Code-generation changes also reduced redundant vsetvli instructions and optimized vector shuffles. Packaging fixes addressed OpenSSL PKCS12_create arguments and Debian changelog formatting.
