Hello Ouseppachan,

Yes, it is indeed possible to copy your M4 image to the /var location in Torizon OS during the build process of your custom package. You can achieve this by using the TorizonCore Builder tool, which allows you to customize the Torizon OS image. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

1. Prepare Your M4 Image: Make sure your M4 image file is ready and accessible from your build environment.

2. Use TorizonCore Builder: This tool is designed to help you modify the Torizon OS image by adding custom files and configurations.

3. Create a Customization Script: Write a script that will copy your M4 image to the desired location. For instance, you can create a script named copy_m4.sh with the following content:

   #!/bin/sh
   cp /path/to/your/m4_image /var/m4_image
   

   Be sure to replace /path/to/your/m4_image with the actual path to your M4 image.

4. Modify the TorizonCore Image:

   • Use the torizoncore-builder tool to unpack the base Torizon OS image.
   • Apply your customization script to the unpacked image. This involves including the script in the image and ensuring it runs during the image’s initialization process.

5. Repack the Image: Once you’ve applied your customizations, repack the image using TorizonCore Builder.

6. Deploy the Custom Image: Finally, use the Toradex Easy Installer to flash the customized Torizon OS image onto your Colibri iMX8X module.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your M4 image is included in the Torizon OS image and is present in the desired location upon deployment. If you need further customization, the TorizonCore Builder documentation offers more detailed commands and options.

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,
