libtracefs tests on ppc64el: opened a bug upstream, quickly got a comment and a patch from the maintainer; that fixes the issue but there is at least one more a few lines further, I need to get back to it.

ISO testing
- More ISO testing
- Yet more ISO testing
Fairly uneventfully as it turned out
- Found a repeatable phenomenon on the desktop image where Wayland doesn’t appear on first boot
- Release noted, but still tracking source of issue

Verified mesa SRU for D0 stepping compatibility (LP: #2082072)
- unfortunately the oracular images are back to using core22 snaps, so this won’t fix firefox et al
- updated release notes to indicate sudo snap refresh must be run prior to launching such applications

Documentation work
- Finished automated image list for the Boards documentation
- Working on splitting this extension out for canonical-sphinx-extensions
- Added draft of the RPi installation tutorials
- Fleshed out the UART console section and revised UART section in all boards docs
Pi planning with @r41k0u
