Upgrading from Torizon OS 6 to Torizon OS 7
Introduction
This document explains the exact workflow that you must follow to properly perform the upgrade from Torizon OS 6 to Torizon OS 7.
This procedure differs from the regular update procedure because it involves updating the bootloader (U-Boot) prior to the Operating System.
Transition Sequence
This is the sequence that you must follow to move to the newest Torizon OS 7:
-
If you are still on TorizonCore 5, upgrade from TorizonCore 5 to Torizon OS 6.
-
Update to the latest Torizon OS 6 release: this step ensures you perform a delicate action using the same software versions tested by the Torizon OS team.
-
Perform a bootloader upgrade. The process of upgrading the bootloader is documented in the Bootloader Updates Article.
-
Perform a regular OS update to Torizon OS 7. Either build a custom image based on the newer versions or install a standard image from the Torizon Cloud feeds (if you are not using customizations).
