Qualcomm: Linux reboot for the Dragonwing platform
Summary
Qualcomm has launched Qualcomm Linux 2.0 for its Dragonwing IoT platform and repositioned Linux support around a new upstream-first approach. The release uses a Yocto-based build system with BSPs for Dragonwing hardware, including boards built on the QRB2210 and QCS6490. The new model aims to improve long-term community support, tooling, and kernel maintenance for embedded Linux users. The company still keeps the Adreno GPU driver closed source, which remains a limitation for fully open systems and GPU-heavy projects. Qualcomm has placed the release candidate documentation online and scheduled a YouTube presentation for 30.06.2026.
