@dbaluta thanks - anything pending - I think we have another week or 2 prior to v1.6 final ?

@dbaluta where and how are you fuzzing?

[dbaluta]

@cujomalainey See sof/tools/fuzzer/platform/imx8-host.c

We are able to parse topologies and send the IPCs via Qemu bridge to Qemu DSP instance.

Basically that was already done, we just added IMX host support in fuzzer and IMX DSP support in qemu.

ah this was using the existing infra, got it.
