Hello Sara,

Thank you for reaching out with your question. It seems you’re encountering a common issue related to the versioning of TorizonCore and the Linux kernel. The version numbers for TorizonCore releases (e.g., 6.8.1) do not directly correspond to the Linux kernel branches you see in the repository (e.g., toradex_5.4.y). This can indeed cause some confusion.

To find the correct source code for your specific TorizonCore version, you should look for tags or branches in the Toradex repositories that correspond to the TorizonCore version you are using. Here are some steps you can follow:

  1. Check for Tags: Use the git tag command to list all available tags in the repository. Look for a tag that matches or closely resembles the TorizonCore version 6.8.1.

  2. Branch Naming: If a direct branch for 6.8.1 is not available, the repository might use a different naming convention for branches. Look for branches that might be related to the 6.x series or similar.

  3. Use TorizonCore Builder: Once you have identified the correct source, you can use TorizonCore Builder to apply your custom device tree overlay. Ensure you have the source code for the overlays and the correct device tree files in your working directory.

  4. Apply Overlays: Follow the TorizonCore Builder documentation to apply the overlays using the dto apply command or by modifying the overlays.txt file directly on the device.

I hope this helps you proceed with your project. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,
