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.

Workaround: The error message is just cosmetic, no known issues.

ELB-4043FixedLatest CMA Configuration MAX(256MB, 25% of MEM) Not Working on 8GB SKU 0066Verdin iMX8M PlusKernelLowNo

Description: Unfortunately, CMA needs to be in low memory and to be consecutive is not allowed to cross any other reserved sections. This severely limits its maximum available size and it looks like there is no consecutive 2GB block available that would meet all these conditions.

Workaround: Luckily, one may simply override the amount of CMA via Linux kernel command line parameter. E.g. for the BSP:
setenv setup 'setenv setupargs console=${console},${baudrate} console=tty1 consoleblank=0 earlycon cma=1376MB'
saveenv; boot
Or in the Toradex Easy Installer case:
setenv teziargs cma=1376MB; saveenv; boot

ELB-4019New FeatureCMA Memory Too Large on Certain SKUsApalis iMX8, Apalis iMX8X, Colibri iMX8X, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M PlusKernelNo

Description: CMA memory allocation is a fixed value and takes up too much space on certain SKUs. Drop the configuration of the CMA in the device tree in favour of specifying it in the kernel config with a size of 256MB or 12% of total memory which ever is less.

ELB-3958New FeatureUpdate Linux Kernel to NXP BSP Patch L5.4.70_2.3.2Verdin iMX8M PlusBuildsystem, KernelNo

Description: Integrate all the changes into linux-toradex kernel which were released in NXP L5.4.70_2.3.2 patch release.

ELB-3209New FeatureMust Have: Linux KernelVerdin iMX8M PlusKernelNo

Description: Add initial support for Linux kernel.

ELB-3035New FeatureDrop defconfigs in OE Meta-DataApalis iMX6, Apalis iMX8, Apalis iMX8X, Apalis TK1, Colibri iMX6, Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX8X, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M PlusBuildsystem, KernelNo

Description: Use KBUILD_DEFCONFIG in OpenEmbedded to define the defconfig to build the kernel from. Toradex is now using the defconfigs from the kernel-repo instead of providing separate defconfigs in OpenEmbedded. However if you wish to provide your own defconfig in OpenEmbedded you can still do so.

Not Planned
ELB-3848Known IssuePWM Instance Number Depend on Device Tree OverlaysVerdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M PlusKernelLowNo

Description: PWM_1 and PWM_2 gets its pwmchip instance number changed when turning on or off the HDMI overlay.

Workaround: Use a fixed Device Tree for production images according to https://developer.toradex.com/device-tree-customization. This way the issue will not appear.
