ReleaseAlp SDK v0.9.0 — the alp CLI front door + portable-API conformance
One alp command drives build, run, flash, emit, doctor, and monitor across every E1M module. A 13-class × 8-case conformance suite becomes the gate for new SoM ports, portable SE-backed identity/power/peer-boot surfaces land, and I²C/SPI target mode goes real — alongside pre-1.0 breaking renames.

ReleaseAlp SDK v0.8 — E1M-AEN801 silicon bring-up on Alif Ensemble E8
A second SoM family now carries silicon evidence: 15 of 17 peripheral apps PASS on real E8 hardware, with real NPU inference from MRAM on Ethos-U85, dual-core HE↔HP RPC, SE-CryptoCell compute, and the CC3501E Wi-Fi/BLE bridge. v0.8.1 follows with a repo-wide silicon-accuracy doc sweep.

E1M Standard 1.2 published
Dedicated debug-console UART (DBG_TX/DBG_RX) added on E1M at AD3/AE3, mirroring E1M-X; E1M reserved-pad count drops 36 → 34. E1M-X Ethernet MDI pair order reversed. Loom form-factor stays 1.0 — a doc-level revision.

Alp SDK v0.7.0 — production Yocto image + OS-topology contract
A hardened alp-image-prod production image boots the V2N bench from eMMC, with reproducible firmware banners and a CA55 1.8 GHz opt-in. Per-core OS is now class-derived, and system-manifest v1 is pinned as the IDE/tool contract.

Alp SDK v0.6.0 released — first silicon-verified stack
The E1M-X V2N bench verified the GD32 supervisor bridge end-to-end: functional suite 26/26, 20-row HIL soak 253/253, A/B OTA, and wire protocol v0.7 with the stale-reply kill. AEN and i.MX 93 remain pre-HiL.

Alp SDK v0.6 ships with heterogeneous OS orchestration
New <alp/rpc.h> framed RPMsg over OpenAMP, system-wide IPC manifest, and per-core OS slicing — Zephyr, Yocto, and bare-metal running side by side on a single SoM.
