Currently I am using iMX95 Verdin production and it contains the A1 silicon version and I flash the prebuilds built for V7.4.0+build.8 provided by Toradex. How to build the same using yocto. The default source which is provided is for V7.5 which is not supported by my board. Please share the steps and source.

Hi, I’m the Toradex AI Assistant.

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

I understand you need to build Yocto images for your Verdin iMX95 V1.0A with A1 silicon, which requires BSP version 7.4.0 or earlier. Let me guide you through the correct process.

Silicon Revision Compatibility

According to the compatibility information, your Verdin iMX95 V1.0A with A1 silicon is supported up to BSP 7.4.0 but not supported in BSP 7.5.0 and later versions (1). This confirms you need to build from the 7.4.0 tag specifically.

Building Steps for BSP 7.4.0

To build the same image using Yocto for your hardware, follow these steps:

1. Set Up the Build Environment

mkdir toradex-bsp-7.4.0
cd toradex-bsp-7.4.0
repo init -u git://git.toradex.com/toradex-manifest.git -b refs/tags/7.4.0 -m tdxref/default.xml
repo sync
. ./export

(2)

2. Configure the Build

Set your machine configuration for Verdin iMX95:

echo 'MACHINE ?= "verdin-imx95"' >> conf/local.conf
echo 'ACCEPT_FSL_EULA = "1"' >> conf/local.conf

(2)

3. Build the Image

Choose the appropriate image based on your needs. The available reference images are (2):

  • tdx-reference-minimal-image: Minimal image without graphical interface
  • tdx-reference-multimedia-image: Image with Qt and multimedia features
bitbake tdx-reference-minimal-image

Or for the multimedia version:

bitbake tdx-reference-multimedia-image

(2)

4. Deploy the Image

After the build completes, you’ll find the deployable Tezi image in:

build/deploy/images/verdin-imx95/

(2)

Important Notes

  • The first build will take several hours and requires significant disk space (around 120 GB) and memory (at least 16 GB recommended) (2)
  • Make sure your host system meets the Yocto build requirements (2)
  • The build process uses BitBake, which is part of the OpenEmbedded build system that Toradex leverages (3)

This approach will give you the exact same BSP 7.4.0 build that’s compatible with your A1 silicon revision hardware.
