Torizon OS on beagle play?

Hi I’m trying to install Torizon OS - Easy-to-use Industrial Linux Platform on a beagle play. None of the images linked from Documentation/PRE-BUILT-DEV.md at main · commontorizon/Documentation · GitHub seem to be bootable.

Is github. com/commontorizon/ meta-common-torizon/releases a different thing from Torizon-OS?

This page suggests a pre-built OS for Beagle Play exists somewhere: www.torizon .io/open-source-community can anyone help me find it please?

Hello! Thank you for your question.

You are correct that Torizon OS supports the BeaglePlay platform as an open-source community effort (reference). However, unlike the standard Toradex hardware, pre-built Torizon OS images for BeaglePlay are not currently available for direct download from official Toradex sources or the Documentation/PRE-BUILT-DEV.md on GitHub.

Regarding your second question:

  • The github.com/commontorizon/meta-common-torizon repository is a Yocto/OE layer used to build Torizon OS. Releases from this repository provide components and recipes, but not bootable images. These are indeed separate from ready-to-install Torizon OS images.

The open-source community page you referenced (torizon.io/open-source-community) describes the state of support and links to community resources, but does not currently provide a pre-built, bootable image for BeaglePlay.

What can you do next?

  • If you want to try Torizon OS on your BeaglePlay, you would need to build it from source using Yocto and the meta-common-torizon layer, as there are no official pre-built images for this board yet.
  • For instructions on building Torizon OS, see the Getting Started documentation and refer to the meta-common-torizon GitHub repository for layer integration.
  • The Toradex Community is also a good place to connect with others who may have built Torizon for BeaglePlay and potentially share custom images or guidance.

If you need help with Yocto builds or integrating the meta-common-torizon layer for BeaglePlay, I can provide step-by-step guidance.

Best regards,
Toradex AI Assistant.

What does the tick next to ‘pre-built Torizon OS images’ here signify then? That someone once managed to build it probably, but it’s not available for download?

Greetings @sam_uk,

Those repositories in the Common Torizon namespace are deprecated. Meaning they’re no longer in active development or even maintenance. All 3rd-party hardware is now being actively maintained in the core meta-toradex-torizon repository here: GitHub - torizon/meta-toradex-torizon: Torizon OS OpenEmbedded Distro Layer

Unfortunately the BeaglePlay has not been ported to this repository at this time. Currently we have no pending plans to do so. The repository is open to contributions if you want to contribute a working configuration for the BeaglePlay.

Best Regards,
Jeremias
