On github repo I can see the commits for torizoncore-builder, but I wonder if Toradex provides the release notes (chnagelog) for torizoncore-builder tool.

Hi, I’m the Toradex AI Assistant.

I might make mistakes or occasionally get you wrong. Our support team will step in if needed.

TorizonCore Builder Release Notes

Based on the available documentation, I don’t have specific information about dedicated release notes or changelog for the TorizonCore Builder tool itself. However, I can provide information about where Toradex publishes release information for their software components.

BSP Release Notes

For Toradex BSP components, release notes are available through the BSP Layers And Reference Images for Yocto Project Release Notes which contains a list of new features and bug-fixes that are planned, and also known issues and limitations (1).

General Release Information

The documentation indicates that Toradex defines a release cycle for the BSP Layers, Reference Images for Yocto Project and Torizon OS (1). To learn more about releases and determine which one is right for you, you can read the Toradex Embedded Linux Support Strategy (1).

Early-Access Information

For TorizonCore Builder specifically, the documentation mentions that advanced use case options and early-access version information can be found in the project README (2).

While the GitHub repository commits provide development history, I don’t have access to specific TorizonCore Builder release notes or changelog documentation in the sources provided. You may want to check the project README mentioned above or the GitHub releases section of the repository for more detailed release information.

Best regards, Toradex AI Assistant.

Greetings @vix,

We have discussed and do plan to eventually have release notes for TorizonCore Builder. But it’s not something we have implemented yet at this time.

Best Regards,

Hi @jeremias.tx

I’ve just seens that torizoncore-builder 3.15.0 has just been released on github.

Do you know if official release notes are available?

If not, can you share here the most important changelog?

Thanks

No we’re still not doing public release notes.

However, these are the highlights of the release that were shared internally:

Highlights of this release:

  • This is the last TorizonCore Builder release based on the Debian Bullseye container

    • Moving forward, 3.15.0 early-access pre-release versions and future releases will be based on Debian Trixie;
    • In practical terms, nothing should change for the end-user, UI/UX is the same;
    • Current early-access versions may have some bugs caused by the container upgrade. These should be fixed until the next release.

  • The following OS customization options are now available for images supporting Secure Boot (tdx-signed images):

    • Apply and check Device Trees
    • Add, remove and check current Device Tree Overlays
    • Set, get and clear custom kernel boot arguments (kargs)
    • Build and apply kernel modules
    • Change the splash screen

  • New command/build option: splash-config

    • Users can now apply a custom Plymouth spinner theme config file, allowing additional Splash Screen customization.
    • e.g. Changing spinner icon position or hide it from view.

  • Automated testing improvements:

    • Pin Docker version in CI jobs
    • Add docker info output for all test jobs for debugging purposes.

  • Bug Fixes:

    • WIC / Raw disk image support: Create output image based on a copy of the input
      • Fixes TorizonCore Builder support for FRDM i.MX93 Common Torizon images.
    • Allow container bundling on overlayfs storage driver
      • Fixes the bundle command when using the overlayfs storage driver, which is the new default starting from Docker 29.

Jeremias
