Use TorizonCore Builder to customize Device Tree for Torizon OS 7

I know that Torizon OS 7 is under development, so it’s not stable at all, and the development team has been working hard on it.
I started my test on the first monthly, as I explained here and so I can provide my first feedback.

Is it already possible using TorizonCore Builder to customize Device Tree for Torizon OS 7?
I would imagine that the following steps should be updated to follow a different branch ( toradex_6.6-2.0.x-imx instead of toradex_5.15-2.2.x-imx ?)

Thanks in advance

Greetings @vix,

As of now, I see no reason device tree customization should not work for 7.X. All TorizonCore Builder does is take a source file and compile it essentially. This “shouldn’t” be specific to OS version, assuming you cloned the correct kernel sources for 7.X.

All that said, we’re still reviewing and testing things for 7.X. So I can’t say for 100% certainty that it will work currently, since we haven’t gotten everything validated yet.

Hi @vix !

From what I can see, your question was answered by @jeremias.tx’s message.

Is there anything else needed?

If not, could you please mark his message as the solution?

Thanks!

I haven’t tried yet.
Can I specify a major version of 7 for Torizon in tcbuild.yaml, as below?

 easy-installer:
    toradex-feed:
      version: "7.0.0"

Or this is not supported yet and I should point directly to the link of the integration feeds?

Moreover, which branch of git://git.toradex.com/linux-toradex.git and git://git.toradex.com/device-tree-overlays.git should I use for Torizon OS 7?
Is toradex_6.6-2.0.x-imx for both of them?

Hi @vix!

AFAIK, for NXP-downstream-based kernel, indeed it should be toradex_6.6-2.0.x-imx for both linux-toradex and device-tree-overlays repositories.

@jeremias.tx , could you please confirm? :slight_smile:

Best regards,

This is currently not supported yet via the toradex-feed field. You should either provide a direct link or a local file for the input image on 7.X.

Moreover, which branch of git://git.toradex.com/linux-toradex.git and git://git.toradex.com/device-tree-overlays.git should I use for Torizon OS 7?

That should be correct.
