Qualcomm has announced the transfer of changes to the main Linux kernel that enable support for devices with Snapdragon X2 chips, equipped with Qualcomm Oryon CPUs (6-18 cores depending on the model), Hexagon AI accelerators (80 TOPS), and Adreno X2-90 GPUs. Among other things, a FastRPC driver for the Hexagon NPU will be prepared, and support for new Adreno GPUs will be added in the Freedreno, Turnip, and Rusticl Mesa drivers. <\/p>\n
The integration of Snapdragon X2 support into the kernel is divided into several stages. Initially, components for booting and basic system startup have been published (systemd-boot is supported as the boot manager). In the second stage, drivers for basic input\/output will be added, allowing various peripheral devices to connect via USB, PCIE, and UP (Qualcomm Universal Peripheral). The third stage will focus on supporting GPUs in the Freedreno, Turnip, and Rusticl Mesa drivers, while the fourth stage involves publishing a FastRPC driver to utilize the NPU for local execution of AI models. The final stage will include drivers for managing power consumption and temperature control, as well as conducting final stabilization of the software stack and preparing it for pre-installation by OEM manufacturers. <\/p>\n
The changes published by Qualcomm will enable the use of Linux on devices equipped with Snapdragon X2 SoCs, such as the HP Googlebook 14, Lenovo IdeaPad Vibe, Dell XPS Googlebook, Microsoft Surface Pro 12, Microsoft Surface Laptop 13, and HUMAIN Horizon Ultra. HP, ASUS, and HUMAIN will initially ship their laptops based on Snapdragon X2 SoCs with Windows, but they plan to provide official Linux support in the first quarter of 2027. <\/p>\n
The first Linux distributions to support Snapdragon X2 will be Debian and Ubuntu. Debian plans to integrate support by the end of the year, while Ubuntu aims for the first quarter of 2027 (the corresponding announcement has already been made by Canonical). For those who wish to test Linux on real hardware without waiting for all changes to be integrated into the kernel and distributions, Qualcomm has opened access to a repository containing the Linux kernel branch with the necessary patches, as well as providing packages, scripts, and instructions for building Debian 13 for use on Qualcomm RB1 (QRB2210) and Qualcomm RB3 Gen 2 (QCS6490) boards. Installation-ready test builds of Debian are expected to be made available soon. \u041a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0438\u044f Qualcomm \u043e\u0431\u044a\u044f\u0432\u0438\u043b\u0430 \u043e
