Hi,
I’m participating in a project where we have an application made in Qt running on Toradex’s embedded board Apalis IMX6 with Ixora V1.2 board, using toradex linux BSP 2.8. In this project, the device tree has already been implemented and all peripherals are
functional. We have started a process of updating the yocto recipes for this project to version 5.0 of Toradex’s BSP, but I am running into some problems.
I verified that in the BSP 5.0, the strategy recommended by Toradex would be to implement a device tree overlay to support my HW changes. I took the following articles as reference:
- Device Tree Overlays (Linux) | Toradex Developer Center
- Pin Multiplexing - Changing Pin Functionalities in the Linux Device Tree | Toradex Developer Center
- Verdin Development Board -- driver for rotary encoder
I’m trying to add support for Rotary Encoder (652-EPS1D-F19AD0024L) and LVDS display (innolux g150xne-l03) which are already supported in BSP 2.8 and validated on this version. Based on the old device tree(imx6q-apalis-ixora-BSP2.8.dts), I created 3 new device tree overlays(apalis-imx6q-lvds_display_G150XNE-L03_overlay.dts, apalis-imx6q_overlay.dts and apalis-imx6q_rotary_encoder_652-EPS1D-F19AD0024 _overlay. dts ).
I added them to the distribution, I saw that they are being loaded but apparently they are not functional. Could you help us by reviewing the overlays at first while I can provide more logs if you need them?
Best Regards,
André Dantas

Hi André,
I’ll check your device tree overlays and run some tests on my side.
I’m not sure if downloading the files made some alterations on it, but I saw some indentations that may cause some problems.

Larissa Souza
Hi Larissa.
If you need some logs from my side I could provide to you. About the indentations, the DTC didn’t warn about them. Here is a fragment of the boot startup log, where we can see the DTOs being loaded.

Hi André,
Can you explain a little bit more, is there any of them that works? Or all of them are not working?
Also, can you provide to us the entire dmesg so we can take a better look?
Regards,
Larissa Souza
Hi Larissa,
I have some updates… After some research in toradex community, I was able to add the support for rotary encoder and LVDS display by applying the changes directly into the device tree files.
Best regards,
André
Hi @andrehpd-eld ,
That’s really good news, thanks for the update!
Regards,
Larissa
