TOR-3339New Feature qemuarm64/genericx86-64 dont have serial numbers Open Embedded Description: The serial number is being appended to machine name to be able to have a unique device name for toradex machines.
The serial number is being read out from /proc/device-tree/serial-number, but qemuarm64 and genericx86-64 machines dont have it, so currently the unique device name is not supported on these machines.
A solution could be using partuuid (hexadecimal digits) of the root disk and translate it to a 8 decimal digits, since we have only one root partition and it's different for a specific build.
TOR-3336New Feature As a developer, I want genericx86-64 could be run by runqemu Open Embedded Description: Currently we are supporting two machines qemuarm64/genericx86-64 along with toradex machines.

6.2.0 quarterly release TOR-2957Fixed Offline sync updates broken in TorizonCore 6 Aktualizr Low Description: Offline sync updates are not working on TorizonCore 6. Even though both OS and application updates are installed, the process is never concluded and after the reboot with the new OS version, the application is never started.
Update: this bug has been fixed. As a side-effect, in case a rollback happens during a synchronous offline update, the newer application container image is not removed from the system, as it should. This means that some of the flash storage space will be used without need.
TOR-2929New Feature Enable support for the Microchip KSZ8795/KSZ88X3 switch chips on TorizonCore 6 (NXP downstream kernel) Apalis iMX8, Colibri iMX8X, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M Plus Kernel Description: Enable the Microchip KSZ8795/KSZ88X3 switch IC device driver as a module on TorizonCore 6, for the NXP downstream kernel.

TOR-2923Fixed The "ip" command does not work as expected when bringing up the CAN interface leading to error "either "dev" is duplicate, or "type" is garbage" Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: In TorizonCore 6 it is not possible to configure the CAN interface with the command "ip" (for example, "ip link set can0 type can bitrate 125000") outside a container. This leads to the error "either "dev" is duplicate, or "type" is garbage" when trying to bring up the CAN interface.
Workaround: Use the "ip" command inside a container, as described on How to Use CAN on TorizonCore .
TOR-2921New Feature Enable support for the VUB300 USB to SD/SDIO IC on TorizonCore 6 All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable the VUB300 USB to SD/SDIO IC device driver as a module on TorizonCore 6.
TOR-2452Fixed Increased boot time by approximately 2x on TC 6 when compared to TC 5 on SoMs that use an upstream kernel Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6 Open Embedded Low Description: The boot time on TorizonCore 6 for 32-bit devices has increased by approximately 2x.
Update: the root cause of the increased boot time seems to be that our Embedded Linux BSP 6 is using 2x CPU when compared with BSP 5.
Update 2: the BSP performance has been fixed. Despite that, TorizonCore first boot time seems to be greater on TorizonCore 6 than 5, so we continue to investigate it.
TOR-2426Fixed Aktualizr: Offline Updates don't work on container images containing symlinks in their layer metadata with error "Found in archive a file with bad file type: 40960" Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: As reported in the community thread
[aktualizr, offline updates] Found in archive a file with bad file type: 40960 , some docker images may contain layers that are symlinked to other layers, which leads to an error. The reason a docker image would contain a symlink in the layers is unknown.
6.2.0-devel-202303 monthly pre-release TOR-2844New Feature Enable HIDRAW - Raw Access to USB and Bluetooth Human Interface Devices on TorizonCore All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable the HIDRAW interface in TorizonCore. To learn more, read the Linux kernel document HIDRAW - Raw Access to USB and Bluetooth Human Interface Devices .
TOR-2792Fixed During a synchronous update Aktualizr may try to start the new application before rebooting, on TorizonCore 6 Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: Once a synchronous update is triggered, the new application is not expected to start until the system reboots and the new OS version is available. On this bug, which affects TorizonCore 6.x releases only, the application starts on the upcoming polling for updates (which by default is 5 minutes) regardless of whether the system reboots and the new OS is loaded.
Given the TorizonCore default polling of 5 minutes and that usually, a reboot due to a synchronous update happens before that time, this bug should not affect most customer use cases. If you customize TorizonCore to use a much shorter polling time, there might be a case when this undesired behavior happens.
TOR-2761Fixed Aktualizr is rebooting mid-process during synchronous updates with big container images Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: When synchronous updates happen, the reboot command may be called before the container (application) updates are finished, leading to a reboot in the middle of the process. This leads to an update failure and rollback to the previous state. This was seen with big containers when performing offline updates. Although it has never been reported, in theory, this bug can affect online updates as well.
Workaround: A workaround for TorizonCore 5.7.y and 6.1.0 is available. A side-effect of the workaround is that updates take longer to complete.
Create a new configuration file for Aktualizr as specified in the article Aktualizr - Modifying the Settings of Torizon Update Client , with the following contents:
[uptane]
force_install_completion = true
Then, disable the current reboot mechanism as specified in the section enabling and disabling automatic reboot .
This configuration will still trigger the reboot, and it's expected to take a longer time before it happens.
TOR-2495Fixed On-SoM Bluetooth not working on Verdin iMX8M Plus V1.1A in TorizonCore Verdin iMX8M Plus Open Embedded Low Description: Although unsupported on TorizonCore 5, Bluetooth has been reportedly working on Verdin iMX8M Plus V1.0. It does not work on Verdin iMX8M Plus V1.1A, though.
We plan to add basic Bluetooth support only on TorizonCore 6 or newer, without testing any specific Bluetooth profile in particular.
6.2.0-devel-202302 monthly pre-release TOR-2767New Feature Enable kernel configurations related to encryption: CONFIG_DM_CRYPT, CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION, CONFIG_ECRYPT_FS All supported modules Kernel Description: On the Toradex community post USB Storage Encryption , a user has asked how to have a USB storage device encrypted and that can be used with TorizonCore.
We have enabled the kernel config options CONFIG_DM_CRYPT, CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION and CONFIG_ECRYPT_FS, so you can leverage those for either full-disk or file-based encryption. Please note however, that the TorizonCore team does not fully validate this use case nor provide documentation about how to use encryption with TorizonCore at the moment, thus you must consult documentation from other sources, such as encryption projects, for more details.
A good starting point to learn more is Sergio Prado's blog post Introduction to Embedded Linux Security - Part 1 .

Workaround: Build a custom version of TorizonCore with the Yocto Project, including the package "linux-firmware-nxp89xx" in the build.
TOR-2722New Feature As a user, I want to be able to downgrade the bootloader to the TorizonCore 5 version, so I can also downgrade the OS and application as well in case I find a critical bug in the field Not applicable Aktualizr, CI / CD Description: Bootloader updates will only be supported with bootloader binaries published by Toradex - at least initially. Therefore, publishing them and making them available for you is necessary.
TorizonCore 5 bootloader binaries will allow you to downgrade from TorizonCore 6 to 5 if you find non-obvious bugs in the field and later decide a downgrade is necessary.
6.1.0 quarterly release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/torizon-core-release-6-1-0-quarterly-release TOR-2746Fixed Missing /dev/colibri-spi-cs0 symlink Colibri iMX6, Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7 Open Embedded Low Description: The Colibri Evaluation Board uses the SPI interface for an SPI-to-CAN controller, however, we do enable the spidev (a userspace SPI API) on the same SPI interface and CS with an overlay that is currently enabled by default. This leads to a conflict.
Starting from BSP 6.1.0, the overlay that enables spidev on the given SPI interface is not loaded by default. Our test infrastructure caught this change as a possible issue due to a missing symlink to "/dev/colibri-spi-cs0". In fact, this was the intended behavior after the change.
As a customer, if you want to use such an interface with spidev, you must disable the CAN and enable the spidev overlay. For more details on CAN and SPI in our BSP, refer to the CAN (Linux) and the SPI (Linux) articles. To manage device tree and overlays on TorizonCore, we recommend the articles Device Tree Overlays on Torizon and TorizonCore Builder Tool - Customizing TorizonCore Images .
TOR-2724New Feature Enable kernel config option CONFIG_NET_CLS_MATCHALL in TorizonCore so the PROFINET stack/driver from Siemens can be used All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable the kernel config option CONFIG_NET_CLS_MATCHALL so the PROFINET stack/driver from Siemens can be used.

TOR-2665Fixed LAVA: lshw is throwing the exception "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'" in Aktualizr Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: From our automated test reports, it was noticed that "lshw" is not working properly. This was found out in Aktualizr logs and it has been confirmed by running "sudo lshw -json" on the command-line. The error is "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'".
Aktualizr is not functionally affected, as it can recover from this issue and continue to properly function.
TOR-2647Fixed Unhandled exception on offline updates causes aktualizr to fail with error "Aktualizr::RunForever exiting: boost::filesystem::status: No such device:" Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: Secure offline updates only support a physical medium for updates - an SD Card or a USB stick. That said, the following unhandled exception was reported when someone tried the unsupported use case of NFS storage instead of a physical medium: "Aktualizr::RunForever exiting: boost::filesystem::status: No such device: "/nfs/update"".
This error might also affect supported use cases, for instance, if the physical medium does not behave as expected. Therefore we are working on fixing it.
TOR-2492Fixed Splash screen not showing up on i.MX 8 SoMs in TorizonCore 6 Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M Plus Open Embedded Low Description: On TorizonCore 6, the splash screen is not being displayed on SoMs that use the downstream-based NXP BSP.
TOR-2409Fixed Sometimes the automount feature mounts the partition at /media/root/xxx Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: The pluggable media such as SD Card and USB Stick are meant to be mount at "/media/label", but sometimes it is mount at "/media/root/label".
6.1.0-devel-202212 monthly pre-release TOR-2668New Feature As a user, I want documentation on how to check device tree overlays health from procfs Not applicable Device Tree Overlays Description: Every device tree overlays that's loaded by the bootloader gets a node under /proc/chosen/device-tree/overlays/overlay_name.dtbo, and its value is the return value of the load/apply operation by the bootloader. So now you can properly check whether all overlays were properly applied during runtime.
Documentaiton is available on Checking applied overlays .
TOR-2639New Feature As a user, I want to use Docker Compose to V2 on TorizonCore, so I get the latest bugfixes and new features Not applicable Open Embedded Description: Docker Compose version 1.x was used on TorizonCore 5. On TorizonCore 6, Compose is being upgraded to version 2.x, so we continue to benefit from upgrades.
There should be no customer impact for TorizonCore users, therefore from our perspective, this is not a breaking change. You can continue to use all TorizonCore features and your tooling just like you did so far.
As a positive side-effect, Compose V2 should be much faster than V1, and this may have a positive impact in TorizonCore application startup time.
As another positive side-effect, the dependency on Python is dropped, opening up the possibility to remove Python entirely from the base OS. Users are expected to install Python - just like anything else related to their applications - in a container.
Learn more about Compose V2 on the blog post from Docker Announcing Compose V2 General Availability . For more information about Compose releases in general, see the https://docs.docker.com/compose/release-notes/
TOR-2623New Feature Enable Invensense ICM-42688-P 6-axis MEMS MotionTracking device All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable the kernel config option CONFIG_INV_ICM42600_I2C as a module on TorizonCore 6 for the Invensense ICM-42688-P 6-axis MEMS MotionTracking device support
TOR-2578Fixed python3-cryptography fails to build on Kirkstone Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: The package "python3-criptography" fails to build on kirkstone, apparently due to our patch .
We don't use this package on TorizonCore at the moment, but if you are doing a custom build that adds it either explicitly or as a dependency, your build will fail.
Update: the patch has been dropped.
TOR-2384New Feature As a Platform Services customer, I want the gateway certificate updated on all my devices, so I continue connected after 2030 Not applicable Aktualizr, Open Embedded Description: The gateway to which devices connect to access the platform is being updated, and with it, the new gateway certificate is being updated on TorizonCore. This should be transparent to all users of the Torizon Platform Services, as long as they update their devices to TorizonCore 6 or newer until 2030.
6.1.0-devel-202211 monthly pre-release TOR-2514New Feature As a user, I want the tdx-info script available on TorizonCore Not applicable Open Embedded Description: tdx-info is a helper script meant to simplify getting information from Toradex's modules. It is helpful for customers that need to get information from their module e.g. during Toradex's support process. The public repository is inside Toradex Github: https://github.com/toradex/tdx-info .
TOR-2460New Feature Enable Microchip LAN9303 3-Port 10/100 Managed Ethernet Switch All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable the kernel config options CONFIG_NET_DSA_SMSC_LAN9303, CONFIG_NET_DSA_SMSC_LAN9303_MDIO, CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_LAN9303 and CONFIG_NET_DSA as modules on TorizonCore for the Microchip LAN9303 3-Port 10/100 Managed Ethernet Switch support
TOR-2458Fixed Devices updates are being locked in a "pending" state after updating from 5.2.0 to 5.7.0, due to sending of ill-formed manifests to the platform Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: It has been reported that some devices get their updates stuck on the server, in a "pending" state.
6.0.0-devel-202210 monthly pre-release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/torizon-core-release-6-0-0-devel-202210-release-monthly TOR-2479Fixed Docker info shows warnings "no swap limit support" and "no cpuset support" on Colibri iMX6ULL Colibri iMX6ULL Open Embedded Low Description: On Colibri iMX6ULL, two warnings were seen when running "docker info": "WARNING: No swap limit support" and "WARNING: No cpuset support". We will enable the SWAP configuration in the kernel, and cpuset is expected since this is a single-core CPU.
TOR-2459Fixed Rngd service fails to start Verdin iMX8M Plus Open Embedded Low Description: The rngd.service fails to start on Verdin iMX8M Plus, which may lead to a slower boot.
Update: this was fixed at the BSP level for release 6.0.0, therefore this ticket has been rejected.
TOR-2454Fixed Aktualizr: Failed sync updates return an incorrect manifest in some cases Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: Our platform web UI displays the currently installed packages for all ECUs for each device. This information is determined via the manifest that Aktualizr regularly sends back to the server. There is an edge case where certain sync update rollbacks will cause incorrect information to be sent in the manifest. This then causes the web UI to display the incorrect package as installed on the Docker Compose secondary.
TOR-2451Fixed LAVA test "hw-links-buses" fails due to possibly missing SPI symlink Colibri iMX6, Apalis iMX6 Open Embedded Low Description: On automated tests for our monthly pre-release, some symlinks to devices were missing. The missing ones are "/dev/colibri-spi-cs0" and "/dev/apalis-spi1-cs0", and they prevent the test from running through and checking other symlinks.
Update: this was fixed on the BSP level, nothing was required or done on TorizonCore.
Workaround: Test it on a nightly that has been released after the 6.0.0-devel-202209 monthly. Alternatively, if you plan to use the monthly, then access the given device directly, not though the symlink.
TOR-2433Fixed Verdin iMX8M Mini does not boot on nightly candidate to 6.0.0-devel-202209 Verdin iMX8M Mini Device Trees Low Description: The Verdin iMX8M Mini boot hangs with a Device Tree-related error.
Workaround: Use the latest nightly builds of TorizonCore 6, where it has already been fixed.
TOR-2432Fixed TorizonCore 6.0.0-devel-202209 won't boot on Colibri iMX7 Colibri iMX7 Kernel Low Description: The Colibri iMX7 boot hangs during the kernel startup.
Update: this was fixed at the BSP level, so nothing was done on TorizonCore. Use a nightly image from September 30 or newer to get the fix.
6.0.0-devel-202209 monthly pre-release TOR-2408New Feature Enable support for the Microchip KSZ9897 7-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch with SGMII/RGMII/MII/RMII in TorizonCore All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable kernel config options on TorizonCore for the Microchip KSZ9897 7-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch with SGMII/RGMII/MII/RMII support, as a module
TOR-2407New Feature As a user, I want to update the Toradex crops container to build TorizonCore 6.x series images Not applicable Device Trees, Kernel, Open Embedded Description: It is possible to Build TorizonCore from source with the Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded using a container provided by Toradex. This container is being updated so TorizonCore 6 can be built with it, and is made the default version.
TOR-2403Fixed The current `setup-environment-internal` script automatically appends data to `auto.conf` resulting in duplicated settings Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: Every time the "setup-environment" script is run, it automatically appends data to "auto.conf", making it inconvenient to use it.
TOR-2363Fixed Aktualizr: Manifest doesn't return proper ECU installation report in some cases Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: In some cases, it is possible for one of the ECUs to not be able to return an installation report in the manifest that is sent to the server. Instead of indicating an error in such a case the installation report just omits any information about this ECU. This can cause a weird situation where the update is marked “successful”, but the specific assignment for the problematic ECU is not marked complete since an installation report was never received. This situation while rare is not easily recovered from.
Update: this has been reported in the upstream project, on Secondary manifest not sent in some cases .
TOR-2324New Feature As a user, I want updated documentation for the TorizonCore 6.x series Not applicable Device Trees, Kernel, Open Embedded Description: As TorizonCore 6.0.0 release gets closer, we start doing internal work on updating the documentation for the release.
TOR-2985Known Issue `skip_fdt_overlays` isn't working in TorizonCore 5.7.2 and up Not applicable Device Tree Low Description: `skip_fdt_overlays` isn't working in TorizonCore 5.7.2 and up. It is not planned to be fixed, since this feature is meant to be used during the development phase, and TorizonCore 5.7.2 and newer are maintenance releases for customers with devices on the field, past development.
If you need this feature, either use the documented workaround or migrate to Torizon OS 6.
Workaround: Instead of stopping on U-Boot and entering:
# setenv skip_fdt_overlays 1
# boot
just run these commands below. With them we're already skipping the overlay loading and we'll be resizing the fdt region:
# setenv devtype mmc; setenv devnum 0; ext4load ${devtype} ${devnum}:1 ${loadaddr} /boot/loader/uEnv.txt; env import -t ${loadaddr} ${filesize}
# run set_fdt_path
# setenv bootcmd_dtb "load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${otaroot} ${fdt_addr_r} ${fdt_path}; fdt addr ${fdt_addr_r}; fdt resize 0x20000"
# run bootcmd_run
5.7.2 patch release TOR-2650Fixed Running "shutdown -h now" or "poweroff" on Torizon for colibri-imx7-emmc results in a partial reboot Colibri iMX7 Kernel Low Description: Colibri iMX7 has two watchdog sources: the SoC and the PMIC. BSP 5 uses the PMIC watchdog as "/dev/colibri-watchdog", which in turn is the one used by TorizonCore. It turns out that the watchdog firmware for the PMIC on BSP 5 is not as featureful as required to ensure the "shutdown" properly works.
TOR-2519New Feature As a user, I want the fix for devices updates being locked in a "pending" state after updating from 5.2.0 to 5.7.0, due to sending of ill-formed manifests to the platform, backported to TorizonCore 5 Not applicable Aktualizr Description: This backport refers to the bugfix TOR-2458 .
5.7.0 LTS release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/torizon-core-release-5-7-0-quarterly-release TOR-2385New Feature Enable kernel config options for the MCP23S17 16-Bit I/O Expander with Serial Interface, on TorizonCore All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable kernel config options on TorizonCore for the MCP23S17 16-Bit I/O Expander with Serial Interface support, as a module
TOR-2382New Feature Enable support for the 1-wire DS2401 Silicon Serial Number in TorizonCore All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable the kernel config options CONFIG_W1, CONFIG_W1_MASTER_GPIO and CONFIG_W1_SLAVE_SMEM as modules on TorizonCore for the DS2401 Silicon Serial Number support
TOR-2366Fixed The docker-integrity-checker and docker-compose systemd services don't use /etc/docker/config.json as the default configuration file Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: Docker uses a configuration file that is kept by default in the user directory (something like "/home/user/.docker/config.json"). This is not ideal for TorizonCore, since the home directory is not touched by updates, and user configuration hardly ever makes sense. Due to that, some of our services explicitly set the DOCKER_CONFIG environment variable to use the config file at /etc/docker/config.json, which is great because, as a user, you can customize it, capture changes with TorizonCore Builder, and replicate the configuration to all boards.
Recently, it was reported that the configuration file /etc/docker/config.json was not being used by the docker-integrity-checker and the docker-compose services, leading to unexpected behavior.
This is being fixed in a way that the DOCKER_CONFIG variable is globally set in TorizonCore, so all systemd services and the shell environment make use of it.
Workaround: Create a systemd override for the affected services that appends the line Environment="DOCKER_CONFIG=/etc/docker" , then capture changes with TorizonCore Builder.
Or set "/home/torizon/.docker/config.json" and "/etc/docker/config.json" with the same contents.
Or use a symbolic link from one file to another.
TOR-2359Fixed Remote updates get stuck after a power supply interruption while updating (update started shown in WebUI) Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: The error "Top level object in '/var/sota/storage/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml.tmp' needs to be an object not ''." shows up in rare occasions, due to power cut on secondary updates leading to an empty /var/sota/storage/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml.tmp file. This leads to a scenario where the board cannot recovery from updates in the web UI and thus leads to a state where application updates cannot be performed anymore.
We are fixing it by making the file creation operation atomic, so it properly fails and rolls back if the file is not populated with the expected content during a power cut.
TOR-2340Fixed Error "E1187: Failed to source defaults.vim" when using Vim Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: When using Vim on TorizonCore, the following message is printed before Vim is started: "E1187: Failed to source defaults.vim". While it does not prevent you from using Vim, a defaults.vim file is missing which would suppress such a message, therefore we'll add it.
TOR-2320Fixed Error response from Docker daemon "docker: Error response from daemon: transport is closing: unavailable." in LAVA tests Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: The error "docker: Error response from daemon: transport is closing: unavailable." was identified by our test infrastructure on some SoMs, as Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7, and Apalis iMX6D 1GB IT. We are investigating why.
If you experience the same error, please report it in our community website.
Update: we have downgraded from docker-moby 20.x to docker-ce 19.03.14, which is proven to be stable from our previous releases and test cases.
TOR-2318Fixed Device tree repository not syncing from BSP nightlies Not applicable CI / CD, Device Tree Overlays Low Description: For a while, our device-trees repository got out of sync with the Linux kernel device trees. It is fixed as of June 9th. If you have done some work previously and your device tree is not working, please pull the latest changes.
TOR-2315Fixed Offline Updates: Synchronous Updates do not work correctly if a device is offline provisioned Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: During our internal tests to validate the secure offline updates implementation, we have noticed that synchronous updates don't work.
TOR-2305Fixed Offline Updates: Synchronous offline updates fail Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: If you define a synchronous update using a vanilla TorizonCore image - that is, one provided by Toradex and not customized with TorizonCore Builder - then synchronous updates fail.
Workaround: Push a TorizonCore image to the Platform Services using TorizonCore Builder, then use this image for synchronous secure offline updates.
TOR-2186New Feature As a user, I want documentation about production programming and provisioning at scale Not applicable Other Description: TorizonCore Builder will contain features that allow devices to be provisioned to the Torizon Platform Services without manual intervention. This allows you to provision devices during production programming .
Update: documentation is available on Production Programming in Torizon .
5.7.0-devel-202206 monthly pre-release TOR-2356New Feature Enable kernel config CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER in TorizonCore All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable kernel config CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER in TorizonCore, as requested by a customer.
TOR-2277New Feature As a developer, I want to reduce the log level for Aktualizr "Offline-mode header not found" Not applicable Aktualizr Description: The message “Offline-mode header not found…“ is not very important on the default log level. It can bring more confusion than help in the early debug stages. We plan to drop the log level so it is omitted by default.
TOR-2276Fixed Splash screen working on Apalis iMX8 only if HDMI overlay is disabled Apalis iMX8 Device Tree Overlays Low Description: Currently, it is stated that splash screen on Apalis iMX8 is not supported due to an NXP DRM driver limitation .
However, if the HDMI interface is disabled (HDMI device tree overlays removed) and only the LVDS interface is enabled (LVDS device tree overlays added), then the splash screen shows up on the LVDS display.
TOR-2274New Feature Enable support for the SJA1000 CAN controller Not applicable Kernel Description: Enable kernel config options on TorizonCore for the SJA1000 CAN controller support, as a module
TOR-2271New Feature As a developer, I want provisioning to happen soon after internet access is available Not applicable Open Embedded Description: The provisioning service has a timeout of 30 minutes. We plan to reduce it to 5 minutes, so provisioning retry does not take too long in case it's required.
TOR-2262New Feature As a developer, I want mmc-utils on TorizonCore, so I can perform booloader updates Not applicable Open Embedded Description: mmc-utils are useful in many scenarios. Motivated by the necessity to allow bootloader updates, we decided to include the utils in the TorizonCore distro. Learn more about eMMC on our article eMMC (Linux)
5.7.0-devel-202205 monthly pre-release TOR-2259New Feature Enable support for the NXP SC16IS7xx (via SPI) and the PWM Servo Module PCA9685 All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable kernel config options on TorizonCore for the NXP SC16IS7xx (via SPI) and the PWM Servo Module PCA9685 support, as modules
TOR-2256Fixed TorizonCore build fails due to Git error when generating the image Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: On development PCs with newer versions of Git that address CVE-2022-24765 and CVE-2022-24767 , the TorizonCore build with Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded fails.
Workaround: This is fixed on commit 256b379f02da66522eb20d93071f95b9bd859f8e , update your local version of meta-toradex-torizon to this commit or newer.
TOR-2249Fixed An OTA with the same name and version running on the device, but different hash, puts the device in an unrecoverable state Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: If you push an application update with a given version, let's say "1.0", then you override the Docker Compose on the Platform Services but use the same version "1.0" and push a new application update, this leaves the device into an application update hanging state.
TOR-2248New Feature Enable support for matrix keyboard (CONFIG_KEYBOARD_MATRIX) All supported modules Kernel Description: We enable support for matrix keyboard in TorizonCore, shipping it as a module
TOR-2161New Feature As a developer, I want to investigate how to run graphical applications on a headless board Not applicable Automated testing Description: Running graphical applications on a board that does not have a display connected can be useful. For example, it may help validating graphical apps on CI pipelines, or remote accessing a board while sharing it with others during a development phase.
While we execute this task mainly motivated to improve our CI pipeline, as we consider some results of this investigation useful to customers, we will publicly document them. If you have interesting in such, please contact us.
Update 1: how to force a display connector state to "on" is documented on Working with Weston on TorizonCore - Running graphical application without a display connected .
Workaround: Check if the display connector state is on. If not, force it with a command similar to "echo on > /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/status", depending on your board.
5.6.0 quarterly release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/torizon-core-release-5-6-0-quarterly-release TOR-2211Fixed LAVA test case for TorizonCore "hw-automounting-test" is failing Not applicable Automated testing Low Description: Our CI test infrastructure caught a regression on automounting a USB stick. This is due to the fact that, if a drive without a partition table is inserted during boot, it is not mounted properly. On hotplug, it does work as expected.
TOR-2199Fixed mwifiex drivers don't get loaded if the device hostname gets changed Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: On TorizonCore, the loading of on-SoM Wi-Fi drivers are delayed, to improve application boot time. Currently the drivers are loaded for each SoM based on the hostname . This leads to the drivers not loading if the hostname is changed.
The method to infer the SoM model will be changed to allow customers to change the hostname without such an impact.
Workaround: Until the fix is released, avoid changing the hostname.
TOR-2192Fixed Persistent logging no longer works Not applicable Kernel, Open Embedded Low Description: The persistent journald logging should work, as it has been tested in the past. The feature was reported as not working in our community , therefore we are investigating and fixing it.
Update: the documentation is updated and the reported issue is fixed.
TOR-2187New Feature Enable support for "Rotary encoders connected to GPIO pins" (CONFIG_INPUT_GPIO_ROTARY_ENCODER) in TorizonCore Not applicable Kernel Description: We enable support for the Rotary encoders connected to GPIO in TorizonCore, shipping it as a module.
This has been requested in our community
5.6.0-devel-202203 monthly pre-release TOR-2176New Feature As a user, I want documentation on synchronous remote updates Not applicable Aktualizr Description: In the Torizon Platform Services , you can perform synchronous updates. In other words, you can deploy OS and application updates together.
We have documented it on Torizon Remote Updates Technical Overview - Synchronous updates (5.4.0) .
TOR-2175New Feature Enable support for the Micro Crystal RV8803 RTC (CONFIG_RTC_DRV_RV8803) in TorizonCore All supported modules Kernel Description: We enable support for the RTC Micro Crystal RV8803 in TorizonCore, shipping it as a module.
This has been requested in our community .
TOR-2167New Feature As a developer, I want to review the NXP license added to TorizonCore without evaluation containers Verdin iMX8M Plus, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Colibri iMX8X, Colibri iMX6, Apalis iMX8, Apalis iMX6 Open Embedded Description: TorizonCore releases come in two “flavors”: with and without evaluation containers. We add the NXP license to the Toradex Easy Installer image without evaluation containers, but we don’t use it. In other words, when installing TorizonCore, users are not prompted to accept the license. In this task, we will evaluate if the license is being deployed as a mistake, or if we should enable prompting users to accept NXP’s EULA.
Update: we came to the conclusion that, even for images without evaluation containers, some of them are shipped with components that are subject to NXP's EULA. Therefore, the license will also show up on those images, on a case-by-case basis mostly dependent on the SoC that equips a given SoM.
5.6.0-devel-202202 monthly pre-release TOR-2152New Feature As a user, I want the ifupdown plugin for NetworkManager included in TorizonCore Not applicable Open Embedded Description: The "ifupdown" plugin for NetworkManager is included in TorizonCore and disabled by default. As stated in our article Networking with TorizonCore , please refer to the official NetworkManager docs on how to use the plugin.
TOR-2115New Feature Enable support for the NXP PCF2127/29 RTC (CONFIG_RTC_DRV_PCF2127) in TorizonCore All supported modules Kernel Description: We enable support for the RTC NXP PCF2127/29 in TorizonCore, shipping it as a module. This feature has been requested in our community .
Workaround: Until the driver is enabled, you must build a custom version of TorizonCore from source , adding your patches to enable the device driver.
TOR-2084New Feature As a user, I want to learn what does a successful remote application update means and its relationship with health checks Not applicable Aktualizr Description: We lack documentation on what does a "successful remote application update" means. This creates a misalignment between what customers expect from the feature and how it behaves. It has been documented and is available in the Torizon Remote Updates Technical Overview .
TOR-2058New Feature As a developer, I want to stop providing experimental support for NAND-based modules in TorizonCore Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7 Open Embedded Description: While Toradex has never supported raw NAND-based SoMs (the lower-end versions of Colibri iMX6ULL and Colibri iMX7 with 256/512MB of RAM), those machines were available in meta-toradex-torizon as experimental . As we don't plan to maintain them in the future, we are dropping the experimental support to indicate that to customers that may be doing their own experimentation with a raw NAND-based SoM and TorizonCore.
Workaround: If you plan to run TorizonCore on a raw NAND device in the future, you will have to maintain your own fork of TorizonCore, either in-house or through our partners .
5.5.0 quarterly release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/torizon-core-release-5-5-0-quarterly-release TOR-2087New Feature As a developer, I want to understand if DBus introduces a security issue for users Not applicable Open Embedded Description: D-Bus exposes some features from the base OS such as the ability to reboot or shutdown the system . We have evaluated if this is a security risk and came to the conclusion that, by default, it isn't. This is due to the fact that to use D-Bus from inside a container, you must explicitly bind mount "/var/run/dbus" and therefore evaluate the risk of doing so. Keep in mind that, in the worst case, even if you expose D-Bus to your container, it will be as secure as a regular non-containerized embedded Linux system , where you don't have the additional security layer offered by containers.
Workaround: If you don't trust the software running in your container, it is advised that you don't bind mount "/var/run/dbus", or at least restrict D-Bus access to some interfaces by creating configuration files on "/etc/dbus-1/system.d/".
TOR-2008New Feature As a user, I want to be made aware of the importance of setting strong password and I want to be able to enforce it Not applicable Open Embedded Description: Nowadays, certificate-based authentication is a more secure and preferred method over password-based authentication. Nevertheless, we want to at least provide the tools for our customers to create strong passwords, shall they decide to use this method. When this task is completed, you will get documentation explaining how to enforce the setup of a strong password and learn more about certificate-based authentication. TorizonCore will not change the default implementation on how to set a new password: you are required to update the password on the first login, but you still can set a weak password without being prompted about it.
TOR-2007New Feature As a user, I want to understand if it makes sense to prune Docker images periodically in TorizonCore Not applicable Open Embedded Description: Especially during development, it is common that the system accumulates several stopped containers, networks, and dangling images. This may lead to annoying usage of storage. Since this feature was added, TorizonCore is shipped with a systemd service named "docker-auto-prune" that you can enable during development, and it will run periodically to remove the accumulated garbage. Learn more on Debian Containers for Torizon - Docker Auto Prune
TOR-1881Fixed Aktualizr reports an incorrect hash when it can't find the currently-running version in its targets metadata Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: Currently, when you install TorizonCore and provision it on the Torizon Platform Services , the Platform does not display the TorizonCore version that is installed on the device. This is a limitation that must be first fixed in libaktualizr. This fix will allow users of the Platform Services to see the TorizonCore version that is installed on the board during the first installation.
5.5.0-devel-202112 monthly release TOR-2036New Feature As a developer, I want to investigate the best approach to monitor users applications with Fluent Bit Not applicable Open Embedded Description: If you are interested in monitoring the output of your containers (stdout and stderr), it is made possible with Fluentd. Learn how to do it on Device Monitoring in TorizonCore - Containerized Application Monitoring . Keep in mind that you have to implement the server-side monitoring since the Torizon Platform Services currently don't interpret and present this data.
TOR-2034New Feature As a user, I want to be able to set the name and version when pushing OSTree commits to Torizon OTA Not applicable Aktualizr Description: When using the torizoncore-builder push command , you can set the OS update package name and version . This way, you can easily manage and select your packages on app.torizon.io .
5.5.0-devel-202111 monthly release TOR-2065New Feature Remove support for Colibri iMX8X V1.0B in TorizonCore Colibri iMX8X Open Embedded Description: The Colibri iMX8X 1.0B is an early sample. We advise you to move to the latest version as soon as possible.
Workaround: While you don't procure a newer version, use the latest supported TorizonCore version 5.4.0.
TOR-2045New Feature Remove support for Apalis iMX8X in TorizonCore Apalis iMX8X Open Embedded Description: Apalis iMX8X is being phased out and we are removing the support in TorizonCore.
Workaround: Migrate to a supported SoM that meets your requirements. Options and Apalis iMX8, Verdin iMX8M Plus and others. Browse for available SoMs on toradex.com
TOR-2025New Feature Enable Config CONFIG_MS5637 All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable MS5637 I2C temperature/pressure sensor in TorizonCore.

Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/torizon-core-release-5-4-0-quarterly-release TOR-2052Fixed TorizonCore fails to build in the plymouth's do_fetch task Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: TorizonCore is failing to build in the plymouth's do_fetch task. The reason is that the upstream project renamed the master branch to main.
TOR-2004Fixed The rngd service is failing on Colibri iMX6ULL eMMC Colibri iMX6ULL Open Embedded Low Description: The rngd service is failing on Colibri iMX6ULL eMMC because there is no entropy source (that is because iMX6ULL doesn’t have the CAAM module).
5.4.0-devel-202109 Monthly Release TOR-1994New Feature As a user, I want device monitoring enabled by default in TorizonCore Not applicable Open Embedded Description: Enable device monitoring by default in TorizonCore. That means TorizonCore will ship with some Fluent-Bit default configuration, and the Fluent-Bit service will be automatically enabled when the device is provisioned.
TOR-1993Fixed aktualizr-torizon: Project fails to compile outside of Yocto Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: The aktualizr-torizon project fails to compile outside of Yocto builds (i.e. when built manually).
TOR-1968Fixed docker pull fails with "too many levels of symbolic links" error Not applicable Other Low Description: On a power failure during a "docker pull", Docker data may get corrupted, leading to the error "failed to register layer: error creating overlay mount to /var/lib/docker/overlay2/hash/merged: too many levels of symbolic links".
Update: a service is now available on TorizonCore to attempt to recover the system from this situation. This service is disabled by default and must be enabled by you. Read the Docker Data Integrity Checker to learn more.

TOR-3480Known Issue Yocto build failing with elfutils error "error: ‘CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS’ is deprecated: since 7.85.0. Use CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_STR [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]" on Torizon OS 6 (kirskstone) and a host PC with Debian 12 Open Embedded Low Description: The error: ‘CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS’ is deprecated: since 7.85.0. Use CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_STR [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] happens when trying to build Torizon OS 6 (kirkstone) on a PC with Debian 12.
this is the outcome of using Debian 12 (bookworm) + building kirkstone + using curl 8.6.0 in meta-toradex-torizon. Curl added the deprecation warnings somewhere after 7.82 (which is the default in OE kirkstone), and gcc 12 (and newer) make the building fail – and since bookworm has gcc 12, the problem surfaces.
Workaround: Either use a container such as explained on Build Torizon OS from Source With Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded
or a supported distro on your PC as listed on Yocto Manual - Supported Distributions .
TOR-2918Feature Request As a user, I want to create a hotspot on TorizonCore with NetworkManager, so I can share internet to other devices Not applicable Open Embedded Description: Support for hotspot, or in other words, AP mode with internet forward, will be added to TorizonCore.
TOR-2654Known Issue Add, remove, and then re-add a secondary lead to the error “At least one ecu in EcuIdentifier was already used and removed for DeviceId and cannot be reused" Not applicable Aktualizr, Automated testing Low Description: In the TorizonCore update system, each updateable component - the OS, the application described by a Docker Compose file, the bootloader, and possibly other components in the future - is registered as a new ECU when introduced to a new TorizonCore release. The ECU naming comes from the automotive industry, and in our case it can be interpreted as a component that can be updated alone.
Due to how the updates are implemented in TorizonCore, you cannot automatically - that is, without manual intervention - update the OS to a version that has a new ECU, downgrade to a version that does not have it, and then update again to a version that has it. The system will see this as an attempt to add, remove, and re-add the ECU.
This is a rare scenario, and one example when this can happen is when Toradex introduced bootloader upgrades - which in practice introduced an ECU. If you update from TorizonCore 5.7.0 or older to 5.7.2 or newer, then downgrade to 5.7.0 or older, then update to 5.7.2 or newer, you will get the error “At least one ecu in EcuIdentifier was already used and removed for DeviceId and cannot be reused".
Workaround: Run the following command on the affected device: "rm -rf /var/sota/storage/bootloader"
TOR-2129Feature Request As a user, I would like a VPN that supports TCP Kernel, Open Embedded Description: Wireguard requires UDP access to function. There are some use cases where a TCP-based solution is needed.
Workaround: It is possible to run OpenVNP on TorizonCore. Read the article OpenVPN and Weston's VNC/RDP on TorizonCore
for more details.
TOR-2082Feature Request As a user, when I use U-Boot fw-utils without sudo, I want a more descriptive error message than "Configuration file wrong or corrupted" Not applicable Open Embedded Description: When running U-Boot fw-utils commands as fw_setenv or fw_printenv as the torizon user, the command fails with the error message "Configuration file wrong or corrupted".
Workaround: Either run the commands with sudo, or switch to the root user before running the commands.
TOR-2022Known Issue TorizonCore Real Time image reboots randomly on Apalis iMX8 Apalis iMX8 Kernel Low Description: It has been reported by a customer that the PREEMPT_RT version of TorizonCore reboots spontaneously on Apalis iMX8. Internally, we were able to reproduce this bug on TorizonCore 5.7.0.
As of July 2022 - when 5.7.0 LTS has been released, the images with the PREEMPT_RT patch haven't been fully validated by Toradex. We have only run smoke tests and cyclictest to make sure that the system boots properly and the PREEMPT_RT patches are working on idle conditions.
In the TorizonCore Download Links we only list PREEMPT_RT images as monthly pre-releases, because they don't go through our validation steps to promote them to production-ready.
This bug is rejected because the customer who reported it didn't follow up on it and we suspect they may have been able to use the regular image without PREEMPT_RT, or another alternative. If you are waiting for this bug fix, please contact us so we can re-evaluate this decision and possibly resume our investigation.
TOR-1878Feature Request As a user, I want to completely quiet the serial console, so I can use the serial port for other purposes Not applicable Open Embedded Description: Although we advise customers to keep the first UART dedicated to debugging purposes by default, in the end, it should be a customer decision (for example, it may make sense in scenarios where security concerns are high). Our investigations show that it isn't possible to keep an easy-to-use solution in TorizonCore Builder, therefore we may document our findings with documentation, but we won't provide this as a feature. Please have a look at the workaround below to find some documentation.
Workaround: You can find some useful information in the article Configuring Serial Port Debug Console (Linux/U-Boot) .
TOR-1371Known Issue Buggy behavior using openjdk with qemu-static binaries for armv7 and armv8 All supported modules Other Low Description: Installing Java or the use of Java-dependent applications does not work during docker build
Workaround: Do not use java directly on your Dockerfile which will use a distro based on ARM architecture. Create a multistage Dockerfile and use a x86-64 distro as a base to perform tasks that require java.
TOR-319Known Issue Colibri iMX6S gets very slow with Docker Colibri iMX6 Open Embedded Low Description: Limited amount of memory on iMX6S prevents the system from running fast.
Update: Colibri iMX6S is not supported by TorizonCore anymore, since the low RAM leads to a poor user experience and limited use cases.
TOR-3359Feature Request Enable support for the TI LP5521 Three-Channel RGB and White LED Driver on Torizon OS All supported modules Kernel Description: Enable the required kernel config for the TI LP5521 Three-Channel RGB and White LED Driver on Torizon OS.
TOR-2802Known Issue Error "Configuration file wrong or corrupted" in reading U-Boot environment variables with fw_printenv in greenboot scripts Not applicable Open Embedded Low Description: Reading the U-Boot environment early in the boot stage with the “fw_printenv“ command may fail due to a missing symlink to “/dev/emmc-boot0“, which is created from a udev rule. It may happen, for example, from a Greenboot check script as documented on Update Checks and Rollbacks .
Workaround: Either wait for the symlink to be created before running “fw_printenv“, or if you need to use the command in the early boot stages, change the fw-utils configuration to use the eMMC device directly instead of the symlink.
TOR-2790Known Issue Error in initial call to auto-provisioning causes a 5 min delay before it takes effect Open Embedded Low Description: Sometimes auto-provisioning fails to work immediately after boot.
Workaround: Restart auto-provisioning.service or modify RestartSec in the service so it retries sooner, as described on Check and Customize Auto-Provisioning Process .
TOR-2779Known Issue Aktualizr has issues with handling the hashes of metadata files containing multi-byte unicode characters Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: Due to a mismatch between how the client and the server calculate the hashes of packages names and versions, updates of packages that contain multi-character bytes in their name or version fail.
Workaround: Only use non-control ASCII characters in package name and version.
TOR-2304Known Issue Offline Updates: Short-lived containers get pruned from the system and can't be re-fetched Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: As described in the Torizon Remote Updates Overview , application updates pull containers, then check if Docker Compose starts them without errors and last prunes the system, thus removing unnecessary containers.
A side-effect is that, between starting containers with Docker Compose and pruning them, some containers may exit/finish their task, and thus get pruned. For offline updates, there is no way for the system to pull those containers back.
Workaround: If your application includes oneshot/short-lived/ephemeral containers that exit shortly after they are started, you must add an artificial delay before the container exits, for example using the "sleep" command.
TOR-2303Known Issue Offline Updates: Strange "INTERNAL_ERROR" log during an application update Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: The log message with a result equal to INTERNAL_ERROR results from the online updates call chain and it does not affect offline updates. Post the Secure Offline Updates MVP we plan to support concomitant online + offline updates and then review this log message.
Workaround: Just ignore the message.
TOR-2302Known Issue Offline Updates: Update doesn't proceed after temporary update lock expires Not applicable Aktualizr Low Description: While it is possible to block updates locking a given file , the offline updates are never unblocked after the lock expires.
Workaround: Two workarounds are possible. Either remove and re-attach the lockbox media to trigger another update, or restart the aktualizr service after releasing the lock.
