AIC Operator v0.5.0
This release updates APIs, improves clean-node driver loading and introduces the long-running QAIC Device Agent with QMonitor support.
Highlights
- Replaced the one-shot SOC Reset operand with the QAIC Device Agent.
- Added QMonitor gRPC service support for device monitoring and SBL updates.
- Fixed QAIC driver loading on clean nodes.
- Updated the CRD API group from aic.quicinc.com to aic.qualcomm.com.
API changes
- The API group is now:
apiVersion: aic.qualcomm.com/v1 - The previous SOC Reset fields have been replaced with:
spec: deviceAgentImage: <image> deviceAgentVersion: <version> - Existing resources using the old API group or socResetImage fields must be migrated.
Operational notes
- The Device Agent uses host networking and listens on TCP port 62472.
- Only one Device Agent/QMonitor instance should run per node.
- The Device Agent remains privileged for access to host QAIC devices.
- KMM driver images are kernel-specific and must be rebuilt following a node kernel upgrade.
- Registry credentials referenced by imageRepoSecret require both pull and push access for KMM in-cluster builds.
