Updating QAIRT and DSP firmware on Rubik Pi 3 with Yocto

Hi everyone,

I’m using a Rubik Pi 3 with Yocto Scarthgap and this manifest:

rubikpi-6.6.97-QLI.1.6-Ver.1.3_qim-product-sdk-2.1.1.xml

It comes with QAIRT 2.38, but I need 2.45 or newer to run some Qualcomm AI Hub models.

I tried installing a newer QAIRT SDK, but got a message saying the board’s firmware needed updating. As far as I can tell, I’m already on the latest public Rubik Pi Yocto manifest.

Is there an updated firmware package or a way to upgrade QAIRT while staying on Yocto?
