Hello!

To ensure your Yocto build reflects a stable release rather than a development version, you can follow these steps:

  1. Verify the Tag and Branch: Double-check that the tag ‘7.0.0’ is indeed a stable release tag in the Toradex repository. You can do this by listing all tags in the repository and confirming that ‘7.0.0’ is marked as stable.

  2. Check the Manifest File: Open the tdxref/default.xml file and ensure it points to the correct branches and repositories for a stable release. Sometimes, the manifest might still reference development branches, which could cause the build to show a development version.

  3. Reinitialize the Repo: If you find discrepancies, you might need to reinitialize the repo with the correct branch or tag. Use the following commands:

    $ repo init -u git://git.toradex.com/toradex-manifest.git -b refs/tags/7.0.0 -m tdxref/default.xml
$ repo sync

    Ensure there are no errors during this process.

  4. Review Build Configuration: After syncing, check the build configuration again to see if the DISTRO_VERSION reflects the stable release. If it still shows a development version, there might be additional configurations needed.

By following these steps, you should be able to configure your build environment to reflect a stable release version. If you continue to encounter issues, it may be necessary to further investigate the repository setup.

I hope this helps you achieve the desired stable release build!
