Hello! Thank you for your question.
You can customize Torizon OS to include the Acontis atemsys kernel module using either TorizonCore Builder or a full Yocto build, but the best approach depends on the extent of your required modifications:
-
TorizonCore Builder is suitable if you mainly want to add the atemsys kernel module and make basic customizations (like adding Docker containers or minor configuration adjustments). TCB allows you to build and integrate external kernel modules into a Torizon OS image. You can find more about TCB and its capabilities here:

Full Yocto Build is recommended if you need to make deeper kernel modifications, work with in-tree kernel modules, or manage complex dependencies that go beyond the scope of TCB. Yocto provides you with more control over the kernel source and integration process, which can be important for advanced use cases.

Additionally, some community experiences highlight that while it is technically possible to integrate the atemsys module using TCB, handling its dependencies and certain configurations may be more straightforward with a full Yocto build:
Summary:
- Use TorizonCore Builder if your changes are limited to adding the atemsys module and basic customizations.
- Switch to a Yocto build if you require advanced kernel changes or have complex requirements.
