I got my overlay configuration here, I have the capacitive touch 10.1 with lvds adapter to a verdin imx8mp SoM. When I applied these overlays to an existing image on the module it worked fine and got my display working, why won’t it let me build with them?

Thanks

Hey @bengur,

Can you tell me what carrier board you are working with?
And what TorizonCore OS version you are on?
Are you doing any custom work to these files or are they the default from our repository?

additional info::

I had a teammate who was able to reproduce a similar error. This was with mixing TorizonCore 6 device tree with TorizonCore 5 overlays. From your previous post I believe you have the TorizonCore 5 overlays.

Can you verify the source of this device tree? specifically this:
( > Selecting custom device-tree 'linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mp-verdin-nonwifi-dev.dts'

To note: From our git repos branch names.
Toradex_5.4- is referencing TorizonCore 5 and Toradex_5.15- will be TorizonCore 6.

Thanks for getting back to me, here’s the info you requested:

  • Carrier board: Verdin Development Board
  • I am using the following TorizonCore image: torizon-core-docker-verdin-imx8mp-Tezi_5.7.2+build.20.tar
  • I want to use torizoncore 5 but didn’t find the overlays listed here in the base overlays repo, so I manually added all three of them from the overlays git (touch-atmel-mxt_overlay.dtbo, verdin-imx8mp_sn65dsi84-lt170410_overlay.dtbo, verdin-imx8mp_sn65dsi84_overlay.dtbo).

What you said about using TorizonCore 5 overlays with TorizonCore 6 device tree not working makes sense, am I using the right one?

For the device tree I cloned the linux github repo as instructed here and figured that’s the right one (I have an imx8mp without the wifi/bt). Where should I find the TorizonCore 5 device trees?

Thanks

Hey @bengur ,

Ah you’ll notice in the upper right of that webpage there is a “6” this is indicative of the TorizonCore 6. You’ll want to follow in structures for for 5. which can be found here For Torizoncore 5 you can run the torizoncore-builder dt checkout command. I would recommend removing the previously download linux (from the TorizonCore 6 instructions) to avoid confusion on which file is which.
