BSP Layers and Reference Images for Yocto Project Issue Tracker

 

The following table contains known issues, scheduled bug fixes, and feature improvements for the Toradex BSP Layers and Reference Images for Yocto Project.

The tickets are split into two major states:

  • Submitted (open): new features and bug fixes for BSP versions that have not yet been released. They may be scheduled for a specific release version; not planned; or in our backlog. All of them have one of the following states:
    • Known Issue: a bug or unexpected behavior that has been reported and is pending a fix. Once fixed, the status will transition to Fixed.
    • Feature Request: a new feature that may be added to a future release. Once released, the status will transition to New Feature.
  • Released (closed): new features and bug fixes for BSP versions that have already been released. All of them have one of the following states:
    • Fixed: a bug that has been fixed and released.
    • New Feature: something that didn't exist before and was added to a new release.


Any schedules are not guaranteed but reflect the current planning. The planning could be shifted due to priority changes.

Issues that are scheduled for a specific version will be integrated into the mentioned version of the BSP.

We will update this table continuously in order to always provide the latest state of our development plan. Please see also the Linux Support Strategy to learn more about the different releases.

ELB-5375FixedEthernet (ETH_1) Bridge Mode Not WorkingVerdin iMX8M PlusEthernetLowNo

Description: Ethernet bridge mode on ETH_1 is not working. See also https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a7602e7332b97cfbec7bacb0f1ade99a575fe104 and https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/Workaround-for-issue-Bridge-mode-on-EQoS-module-will-not-work/ta-p/1559302

6.3.0 (Release date: 2023-07-10)
Embedded Linux BSP Q2 2023 Quarterly Release.
ELB-3988New FeatureMake LEDs of KSZ9131 PHY Behave the Same As KSZ9031Apalis iMX6, Apalis iMX8, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M PlusEthernetNo

Description: Due to an Errata of the KSZ9131 PHY, one of the LEDs on the Ethernet connector is falsely lit up, even if the PHY is not connected.

Workaround: Set bit9 to 1 in register 30 (decimal) of the KSZ9131 PHY.

6.0.0 (Release date: 2022-10-01)
Embedded Linux BSP Q3 2022 Quarterly Release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/bsp-layers-reference-images-yocto-project-6-0-0-quarterly
ELB-4538New FeatureUse Random Private MAC Addresses for USB RNDIS InterfaceApalis iMX6, Apalis iMX8, Colibri iMX6, Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX8X, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M PlusEthernet, USBNo

Description: Use random MAC addresses from the private IEEE range instead of `00:14:2d:ff:ff:ff` and `00:14:2d:ff:ff:fe` for the USB RNDIS ethernet interface

5.7.0 (Release date: 2022-07-27)
Embedded Linux BSP Q2 2022 Quarterly Release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/bsp-layers-reference-images-yocto-project-5-7-0-quarterly
ELB-4429FixedMDIO read timeoutApalis iMX6, Apalis iMX8, Colibri iMX6, Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX8X, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M PlusEthernetLowNo

Description: MDIO read timeout is randomly popping up during link-up and causing ethernet to stop working

Workaround: Setting the interface down and up again fixes the problem

5.5.0 (Release date: 2022-01-03)
Embedded Linux BSP Q4 2021 Quarterly Release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/bsp-layers-reference-images-yocto-project-5-5-0-quarterly

Description: Due to an Errata of the KSZ9131 PHY, one of the LEDs on the Ethernet connector is falsely lit up, even if the PHY is not connected.

Workaround: Set bit9 to 1 in register 30 (decimal) of the KSZ9131 PHY.

ELB-3757New FeatureDisable Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) aka IEEE 802.3azVerdin iMX8M PlusEthernetNo

Description: Real Energy Efficient Ethernet with Tx LPI (only supported on the on-module EQOS based MAC) may cause issues with EEE enabled peers/switches and is therefore disabled in NXP's BSPs. While NXP may have patches to fix this we also just disable it for now.

Workaround: Disable EEE either on the peer/switch side or on the module as follows:
ethtool --set-eee eth0 eee off

ELB-3355New FeatureFeature Set: Linux: EthernetVerdin iMX8M PlusEthernetNo

Description: Add support for Ethernet on Verdin iMX8M Plus V1.0B.

Not Planned
ELB-3989Feature RequestSwitch Ethernet Connector LINK/ACT LEDs in SoftwareVerdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M PlusEthernetNo

Description: The LEDs of the on-module PHYs are swapped in hardware. We will resolve this issue by swapping the LEDs on the affected Verdin Carrier-Boards.

Workaround: You can swap the LED behaviour using the Enhanced LED mode of the PHY. Make sure you also set bit15 in register 23 (0x17) to '1' on the PHY. Please refer to the KSZ9131 datasheet for more information on how to set the LEDs.

ELB-3977Known IssueIssues with RGMII and/or PHY on Verdin Development BoardVerdin iMX8M PlusEthernetLowNo

Description: We see some retries when transferring 1GiB in our lab environment.

Backlog
ELB-4694Known IssueVerdin Ethernet Spurious Link Up/Down EventsVerdin AM62, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M PlusEthernetLowNo

Description: Second ethernet interface (FEC) can have some spurious link up/down events

ELB-3214Feature RequestBest Effort: Linux: EthernetVerdin iMX8M PlusEthernetNo

Description: Add support for Ethernet on Verdin iMX8M Plus V1.0B.

ELB-3158Feature RequestProperly Pass MAC Address From U-Boot to Linux KernelApalis iMX8, Apalis iMX8X, Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX8X, Verdin iMX8M PlusEthernetNo

Description: Passing Mac address from U-Boot to Linux kernel not working Properly for second PHY

Workaround: Add the aliases of both Ethernet Interfaces to the devicetree files as "ethernet0 = &fec1; ethernet1 = &fec2;"
