When doing a custom Yocto build of a torizon-core-docker image, this generates an output file like:
deploy/images/verdin-imx8mp/torizon-core-docker-verdin-imx8mp-Tezi_6.5.0-devel-20231213163121+build.0.tar
This includes a build timestamp, meaning that every build has a unique filename. This makes it hard to reference the build result from e.g. tcbuild.yaml for further customization and deployment.
For a lot of other files in the same deploy directory, this is solved by creating an unversioned symlink, but not for the tarball currently.
Below I’ve posted a patch that solves this. The patch is made and tested against the kirkstone-6.x.y branch of meta-toradex-bsp-common (because that’s what I had here), but I think it should be trivial to apply to master as well (looking at the history there will be an easy-to-solve conflict).
I would have submitted a PR, but this repo does not seem be be available on Github, Gitlab or similar. If there is a different preferred way for contributions like these (maybe create a fork of the repo somewhere and push the commit there), let me know and I can submit the patch differently.

Subject: [PATCH] image_type_tezi: Create unversioned symlink to tarball
This makes it easier to reference a custom produced image in a deploy or
customization (e.g. with torizoncore-builder) workflow.
Variable names and the link command are modeled after
/meta-toradex-torizon/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-ota.inc
