Request for in-tree kernel module on TorizonCore

Feature Requests

Hello,

The drivers I need seem all to be in TorizonCore, however the one for LTC1660 is missing. I kindly request you to add this as a module to TorizonCore (CONFIG_LTC1660).

Please let me know if you have a recommended way of adding in-tree kernel-modules to a TorizonCore system.

Best Regards,
Philippe

Hi @philschenker ,

Just to confirm, the module you’re using is a Colibri iMX7, is this correct?

Hi Lucas!

Thanks for asking back and sorry I didn’t mention which kernel I mean. I currently learn Torizon on a Colirbi iMX7 eMMC however the final application will run on a Verdin iMX8M Mini DL.

Hi @philschenker ,

OK, so the request is to add the LTC1660 driver for the kernel version related to the Verdin iMX8M Mini, is this correct?

One thing to note: currently the team is preparing to launch the quarterly release of TorizonCore 6.3.0. Given that during this period TorizonCore is in feature freeze, your request might be analyzed a bit later than usual, i.e. in one or two weeks.

If approved, your requested kernel module will be included on TorizonCore starting from the 6.4.0-devel-202307xx nightly releases.

Best regards,

This is correct.

I’m asking well ahead, so 6.4.0 would be perfect fit :+1:
