Hi @ompie,
I’m glad you could solve your issue!
You’re correct, the
do_configure_append() {
sed -i 's/#define FDT_FILE.*/#define FDT_FILE "my-custom-devicetree-file.dtb"/' ${S}/include/configs/colibri_imx6.h
}
It’s just an example for Colibri iMX6. However, if you check the u-boot source code for Colibri iMX7, the FDT_FILE doesn’t exist, so you need to first check this file and then modify the sed command accordingly.
Thanks for your input.
Best Regards,
Hiago.
Hi @hfranco.tx ,
I stumbled on the next “challenge”…
The device tree that I managed to get working was very simple in that it only disabled UART2:
test_imx7d-colibri-emmc-interferometer.dts (1.1 KB)
When replacing this file with the files I successfully used on the Torizon project for the same custom board, I stumbled into errors.
My device tree structure is as follows:
imx7d-colibri-emmc-interferometer.dts
The result is that there are the only three files under meta-customer/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-toradex. linux-toradex%.bbappend takes care of copying them to the right place :
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/linux-toradex:"
# Prevent the use of in-tree defconfig
unset KBUILD_DEFCONFIG
#--- We're adding some custom device tree files and a "defconfig" that configures the linux modules that are to be included
SRC_URI += "\
file://imx7d-colibri-emmc-interferometer.dts \
file://imx7-colibri-interferometer.dtsi \
file://imx7-colibri.dtsi \
file://colibri_imx7_defconfig \
"
do_configure_append() {
# For arm32 bit devices
cp ${WORKDIR}/imx7d-colibri-emmc-interferometer.dts ${S}/arch/arm/boot/dts
cp ${WORKDIR}/imx7-colibri-interferometer.dtsi ${S}/arch/arm/boot/dts
cp ${WORKDIR}/imx7-colibri.dtsi ${S}/arch/arm/boot/dts
}
These are the three files:
imx7d-colibri-emmc-interferometer.dts (2.4 KB)
imx7-colibri-interferometer.dtsi (5.4 KB)
imx7-colibri.dtsi (28.7 KB)
When I ran bitbake, I got an error "Reference to non-existent node or label “reg_3v3"”:

Since I do not use the panel-dpi in which the reg_3v3 was referred to, I commented that part r and disabled the panel-dpi device.
I then got another error. the really strange thing is that it now complaning about “lcd_panel_in” and about the file arch/arm/boot/dts/imx7d-colibri-emmc-iris-v2.dtb.
So where does the “iris” part come from ???

Sorry for the quite lengthy error message but it may provide you some insight.
I also made a tar file of the entire meta-customer directory :
meta-customer.tar (240 KB)
The original "imx7-colibri.dtsi " came from https://github.com/toradex/device-trees by the way
Any help on resolving the “reg_3v3” problem is very much appreciated…
Best regards,
Jeroen
Solved (I think…)
I commented the the followong two definitions in meta-toradex-nxp/conc/machine/include/colibri-imx7-emcc.inc because they referred to aster and iris boards:
#KERNEL_DEVICETREE_append_use-nxp-bsp = " \
# imx7d-colibri-emmc-iris.dtb \
# imx7d-colibri-emmc-iris-v2.dtb \
#"
#KERNEL_DEVICETREE_append_use-mainline-bsp = " \
# imx7d-colibri-emmc-aster.dtb \
#"
In meta-freescale-3rdparty/conf/machine/colibri-imx7-emmc.conf, I commented two lines and added a new definition:
#replaced two lines with one.
#KERNEL_DEVICETREE = "imx7d-colibri-emmc-eval-v3.dtb"
#KERNEL_DEVICETREE_append_use-nxp-bsp = " imx7d-colibri-emmc-aster.dtb"
KERNEL_DEVICETREE = "imx7d-colibri-emmc-interferometer.dtb"
With this, I managed to generate a new image that resulted in the changes I wanted (by checking /dev/spi*, dev/ttym*, etc.)
