Hello Markus,

Thank you for reaching out with your concern about setting capabilities on binaries when using different versions of the Toradex Easy Installer. It seems that the issue arises when using version 6.8.1 compared to version 5.7.6.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

  1. Verify Capabilities Setting Process: Double-check the process you use to set capabilities in your Yocto build. Ensure that the method is compatible with any changes in the newer Easy Installer version.

  2. Compare Installer Logs: Use the serial console to access the Easy Installer’s shell and check the log file at /var/volatile/tezi.log for any errors or warnings that might indicate why capabilities are not being set. Compare logs from both versions to identify any differences.

  3. Check for Changes in Easy Installer: Review the release notes or changelog for Toradex Easy Installer v6.8.1 to see if there are any documented changes related to file handling or capabilities that might affect your setup.

  4. Test with a Minimal Image: Create a minimal image with just the necessary components and test if the capabilities are set correctly. This can help isolate the issue to specific changes in the installer or your image configuration.

  5. Consult Documentation: Ensure that your method of setting capabilities aligns with the latest best practices as outlined in the Toradex documentation for the version of the Easy Installer you are using.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the issue and adjust your process accordingly.
