Hi,
I’m attempting to create a simple custom image (based off of console-tdx-image) for a custom machine (using the colibri-imx6ull machine as a starting point), but it does not appear that the image is being deployed. The custom image I’m attempting to build has one kernel patch that enables spidev in the device tree. This has been already been confirmed to work.
I have verified that I can build console-tdx-image for the colibri-imx6ull out of the box and that it gets deployed successfully. After following the steps in Webinar On-Demand: Part 2 (Advanced) - Building Embedded Linux Images with the Yocto Project and consulting other forum posts (such as Adapt deployment scripts for custom machine), I am still unable to get an image from my custom configuration. It seems that the structure of the Toradex layers has changed since the video was released.
My custom machine is called colibri-imx6ull-test and my custom image is called test-image.
The structure of the layer that I created is given below. Note that meta-test/recipes-images/images/files/colibri-imx6ull-test was copied from the meta-toradex-demos layer, appending “test” to the end of colibri-imx6ull.

Finally, here’s the build output. Here I ran it on a custom image based off of the angstrom-lxde-image. I receive the same error as the image based off of the console-tdx-image.

I apologize for the information dump, but hopefully you can glean some information from this. Are there any specific changes needed for this image to actually get deployed?
Thanks,
