We are pleased to announce the Toradex BSP Layers and Reference Images for Yocto Project - Walnascar Engineering Pre-release.

What Is an Engineering Pre-release?​

An engineering pre-release provides early access to new silicon enablement and vendor-based BSP developments. It is closely aligned with SoC vendor BSPs (such as NXP) and differs from Preview and Stable releases by prioritizing early functionality over long-term stability.

Motivation​

The NXP i.MX95 is a new SoC, and therefore, the software support is evolving at a fast pace.

To get the latest improvements from NXP for AI workflows focused on the use of NPU acceleration, the latest NXP BSP is required.

Therefore, this engineering pre-release, based on the latest from NXP, enables you to develop your product leveraging the latest support for NPU hardware acceleration.

Intended Use and Lifecycle​

Learn more about the intended use and lifecycle in our Embedded Linux Support Strategy.

Highlights​

Latest support for i.MX95-based products:

  • Latest software support for i.MX95 B0 Silicon, based on Linux 6.12

How to use it​

Read the NXP BSP Release News and User Guide to understand the features and limitations.

Follow the Build with Yocto Guide to build and test the Toradex BSP Layers and Reference Images for Yocto Project engineering pre-release.

Hardware Support​

Sample products: Aquila iMX95, Verdin iMX95, and SMARC iMX95 Due to the hardware status being "sample", this release is intended for development.
