Hi Stefan,
I have discovered that TortoiseGit was not cloning the ecspi directory and 2 other directories when I clone, this is what I see when I clone with TortoiseGit:
08/12/2017 08:28 AM <DIR> .
08/12/2017 08:28 AM <DIR> ..
08/12/2017 08:28 AM <DIR> adc_imx7d
08/12/2017 08:28 AM <DIR> flexcan
08/12/2017 08:28 AM <DIR> gpio_imx
08/12/2017 08:28 AM <DIR> gpt
08/12/2017 08:28 AM <DIR> uart_imx
08/12/2017 08:28 AM <DIR> wdog_imx
when I clone from the command line using git clone -b colibri-imx7-m4-freertos-v8 git://git.toradex.com/freertos-toradex.git freertos-colibri-imx7/ :
08/12/2017 08:25 AM <DIR> .
08/12/2017 08:25 AM <DIR> ..
08/12/2017 08:25 AM <DIR> adc_imx7d
08/12/2017 08:25 AM <DIR> ecspi
08/12/2017 08:25 AM <DIR> flexcan
08/12/2017 08:25 AM <DIR> gpio_bank2_imx
08/12/2017 08:25 AM <DIR> gpio_imx
08/12/2017 08:25 AM <DIR> gpt
08/12/2017 08:25 AM <DIR> i2c_imx
08/12/2017 08:25 AM <DIR> uart_imx
08/12/2017 08:25 AM <DIR> wdog_imx
I guess TortoiseGit does not checkout the branch colibri-imx7-m4-freertos-v8 then. I am not familiar with TortoiseGit, but I would highly expect it can checkout branches.
