BSP Layers and Reference Images for Yocto Project Issue Tracker

 

The following table contains known issues, scheduled bug fixes, and feature improvements for the Toradex BSP Layers and Reference Images for Yocto Project.

The tickets are split into two major states:

  • Submitted (open): new features and bug fixes for BSP versions that have not yet been released. They may be scheduled for a specific release version; not planned; or in our backlog. All of them have one of the following states:
    • Known Issue: a bug or unexpected behavior that has been reported and is pending a fix. Once fixed, the status will transition to Fixed.
    • Feature Request: a new feature that may be added to a future release. Once released, the status will transition to New Feature.
  • Released (closed): new features and bug fixes for BSP versions that have already been released. All of them have one of the following states:
    • Fixed: a bug that has been fixed and released.
    • New Feature: something that didn't exist before and was added to a new release.


Any schedules are not guaranteed but reflect the current planning. The planning could be shifted due to priority changes.

Issues that are scheduled for a specific version will be integrated into the mentioned version of the BSP.

We will update this table continuously in order to always provide the latest state of our development plan. Please see also the Linux Support Strategy to learn more about the different releases.

Description: We switched from CRDA to direct loading of the Wi-Fi regulatory domain database in-kernel.

ELB-1047Fixediptables Not Supported by Default Linux Kernel ConfigurationColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30EthernetLowNo

Description: iptables -L is not supported by our default Linux kernel configuration.

Workaround: A custom Linux Kernel compilation with correct configuration can solve the issue. The correct Linux kernel configuration is e.g. described here:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Iptables

2.8b5 (Release date: 2018-12-28)
ELB-1082FixedCapacitive Touch Not Working ReliablyColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Capacitive TouchLowNo

Description: The touchscreen with 7" Capacitive Touch Display may not work well when used either on an Evaluation Board with the Capacitive Touch Adapter or on Aster or Ixora.

2.8b4 (Release date: 2018-10-05)
ELB-1051New FeatureUpdate Wi-Fi Backports to 4.18Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Wi-FiLowNo

Description: Update Wi-Fi Backports to 4.18

ELB-1014New FeatureAdd support for new [01491101] CSI Camera Module 5MP OV5640 V1.1BApalis iMX6, Apalis TK1, Apalis T30CSILowNo

Description: The only difference from [01491101] CSI Camera Module 5MP OV5640 V1.1B to the old version V1.1A is about pin 12 (Master clock). This signal isn't used on V1.1B anymore as an oscillator is assembled on the V1.1B version. This improves EMI behavior and also works with SoMs which don't provide a master clock.

ELB-965FixedLegacy Update Procedure May Fail on Debian Stretch or Arch LinuxColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Generating a legacy update media using Debian Stretch and subsequently updating an Apalis TK1 failed during mounting the root file system.

Workaround: We recommend using the Toradex easy installer on platforms where it is supported. For the legacy update procedure, the easiest is to use one of the supported distributions:
https://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/board-support-package/openembedded-(core)#Prerequisites
Other distributions may have the option metadata_csum enabled per default for mkfs.ext4 (Debian Stretch, Arch, ...). This option is not supported on Linux kernels below 3.18 and generates a kernel panic during boot after the legacy update. As a workaround, one can disable this option in /etc/mke2fs.conf before executing the update.sh script. The ext4 man page also has a list of options with their corresponding supported kernels, which may be helpful to refer to in case of legacy update attempts on more exotic systems.

ELB-951FixedDo Not Enforce Building 32-Bit Host BinariesColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Enforcing to build 32-bit binaries for native and portions thereof using -m32 in EXTRA_OEMAKE_class-native may lead to the following error when building e.g. u-boot-toradex:
cbootimage: Accessing a corrupted shared library

Workaround: The -m32 as specified in EXTRA_OEMAKE_class-native in recipes-bsp/cbootimage/cbootimage.bb of meta-toradex-tegra may be overridden to your liking. The same applies to the following as well:
meta-toradex-demos: recipes-devtools/mtd/mtd-utils_%.bbappend
meta-toradex-nxp: recipes-devtools/imx-loader/imx-loader_git.bb
meta-toradex-tegra: recipes-bsp/tegrarcm/tegrarcm.bb
meta-toradex-tegra: recipes-support/libcryptopp/libcryptopp_5.6.4.bb

ELB-932New FeatureImage Features do not Work with Toradex Console ImageColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Image features (e.g. tools-debug or others documented at https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-features-image) do currently not work with the console-tdx-image. The reason is that the image is inheriting from image as opposed to core-image.

Workaround: You may use core-image instead but it might have additional effects.

ELB-915New FeatureDisable Display Backlight before Starting LinuxColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Bootloader, RGBLowNo

Description: U-Boot typically tears down the display controller before handing control over to Linux. On LCD displays disabling pixel clock leads to a fading out effect with vertical/horizontal lines. Make sure to disable back light before booting Linux.

ELB-493FixedSupport MXM/SODIMM Pin Numbers to Get/Set GPIOsColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30GPIOLowNo

Description: Allow using MXM or SODIMM pin numbers to get or set GPIOs. This also allows for easier code porting from one to another Toradex module.

ELB-258New FeatureDeploy Device Tree(s)Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Buildsystem, Device TreeLowNo

Description: In OE we build the device trees listed in conf/machine/xxx.conf (build-time variable KERNEL_DEVICETREE) and put them into the image. In the update.sh script we currently also have a variable KERNEL_DEVICETREE with a list of what to put on the update media. We could patch update.sh in OE during image creation time, so that update.sh contains the list from conf/machine/xxx.conf rather than having to maintain that list in both places.

2.8b3 (Release date: 2018-06-27)
ELB-981FixedYocto Project Layer Readmes May Not be Up-to-dateColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Our Yocto Project layer readmes may not be up-to-date.

Workaround: Make sure to use valid combinations e.g. as available as tagged repo meta data:
http://git.toradex.com/cgit/toradex-bsp-platform.git

ELB-960FixedBuilding on Ubuntu 18.04 FailsColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Building 2.8b2 and earlier fails on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Workaround: It works on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

ELB-926FixedToradex Configuration Block Off by One IssueColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Bootloader, ConfigBlockLowNo

Description: Currently the Toradex configuration block parser suffers an off by one issue potentially leading to spurious printout during boot e.g.
Model: Toradex V1.2A,
instead of
Model: Toradex UNKNOWN MODULE V1.2A.

Workaround: Fix available on 2016.11-toradex-next branch of git.toradex.com/u-boot-toradex.git.

ELB-925FixedCan Not Install Individual Backport Kernel ModuleColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Installing a single backport kernel module to an image at build time fails (e.g. by using IMAGE_INSTALL_append in local.conf).

Workaround: Install all backport kernel modules by using the "backports" package.

ELB-916FixedAdd Atmel mxt touch controller driver support for reset gpioColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Capacitive TouchLowNo

Description: To get atmel mxt based touchscreens with GPIO connected reset line to work GPIO needs to be configured as an output with appropriate level separately.

ELB-906FixedMake Latest OE-Core, Morty Compatible With meta-toradex-bsp-commonColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: OE-Core layer did backport more package splits in the linux-firmware recipe. Due to this the HEAD of the morty branch clashes now with a similar split we did in meta-toradex-bsp-common resulting in a fatal QA error. (Compare with commit 0eaef98) ERROR: linux-firmware-1_0.0+gitAUTOINC+bf04291309-r0 do_package: QA Issue: linux-firmware-sd8887 is listed in PACKAGES multiple times, this leads to packaging errors. [packages-list]

Workaround: Delete the lines PACKAGES_prepend = "\ ${PN}-sd8887 \ " from meta-toradex-bsp-common/recipes-kernel/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_%.bbappend

ELB-904New FeatureAdd Configuration File(s) And mxt-app to Allow Loading It For PCAP Touch ScreensColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Capacitive TouchLowNo

Description: In order to allow our customers easy re-flashing of the touch controller configuration, we need to add the mxt-app as well as the proper configuration files to our images.

Workaround: https://www.toradex.com/community/questions/25020/view.html

ELB-903New FeatureAdding perf to all eMMC-based ImagesColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Adding perf to all eMMC-based Images which are less space-constrained than raw NAND ones.

Workaround: You may build a custom image including perf according to your requirements.

2.8b2 (Release date: 2018-03-31)
In this release we switched to the generic compressed Kernel image type (zImage) instead of the legacy U-Boot specific uImage format. This could lead to non booting modules if a previously saved U-Boot environment is still set to uImage. Please see the following issue for more details: http://developer.toradex.com/software/linux/linux-software/release-details?view=all&issue=17925
ELB-909FixedFix scrot Recipe Source/MirrorColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: The scrot recipe source is 404.

ELB-899FixedRegression: Automounting Fails With systemd udev RulesColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Buildsystem, SATA, SDIO/SD/MMC, USBLowNo

Description: The update to rocko (BSP 2.8b1) made automount fail for systems which do not trigger mounting through dbus/udisk2, i.e. which rely on udev rules.

ELB-897FixedBitbaking stress Reports Checksum MismatchColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: When building 2.8b1 building stress fails with "ERROR: stress-1.0.4-r0 do_fetch: Fetcher failure for URL: 'http://people.seas.harvard.edu/~apw/stress/stress-1.0.4.tar.gz'. Checksum mismatch!".

Workaround: Use 2.8b2 or remove the stress recipe under "meta-toradex-demos/recipes-support/stress/stress_1.0.4.bb" (this will use a fixed version of stress in openembedded-core/meta/recipes-extended/).

ELB-877FixedImage Viewer gpicview is no Longer in Demo ImageColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Buildsystem, GraphicsLowNo

Description: In the demo images for BSP 2.8b1 the image viewer gpicview is not installed.

Workaround: Remove adwaita-icon-theme from BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS when building the image with openembedded.

ELB-819New FeatureProvide LXQt Demo Image Similar to LXDE OneColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Currently we use an LXDE/GTK+ based desktop for our demo images targetting modules which provide enough storage. Moving this to a LXQt/Qt5 based desktop. This aids customers who want to start developing a Qt5 based application.

ELB-785New FeatureRemove snapd From Standard ImagesApalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Miscellaneous PeripheralsLowNo

Description: Remove snapd from standard images.

ELB-742FixedBuild Failure When Building Image the Next Day Without ChangesColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: After building an image completely successfully, building the same image the next day without any changes leads to an error "do_image_teziimg: Error executing a python function in exec_python_func()".

Workaround: Make an unrelated change in any recipe to force recreation of the rootfs.

ELB-565New FeatureImprove angstrom-qt5-x11-Image by Using xinit to Start XColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Currently, we use an init script which starts X directly and then a Qt demo application. This has some drawbacks, e.g. when one wants to start a touch calibration or the likes. Use some readily available X startup system, e.g. xinit as a better base customers can build upon.

Workaround: Please find a suitable systemd service in the following recipe:
http://git.toradex.com/cgit/meta-toradex-demos.git/tree/recipes-images/images/angstrom-qt5-x11-image.bb?h=rocko#n4

ELB-414New FeatureSwitch to zImage Instead of uImageApalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30KernelLowNo

Description: Switch to the generic compressed Kernel image type (zImage) instead of the legacy U-Boot specific uImage format.

Workaround: Please note that if one is updating from an earlier release one may have to manually fix the U-Boot environment to take this into account as mentioned on the community forum at https://www.toradex.com/community/questions/19860/bsp-28b2-fails-to-load-linux-kernel-due-to-uimage.html

2.8b1 (Release date: 2017-12-29)

Description: Include hostapd in demo builds. Note that this is only about the naked daemon without any configuration which depends on resp. requirements. So nothing of the hostapd will be automatically started by default.

ELB-826FixedBoth fchdir() And fstat() Fail With EBADF When File Was Previously Opened with O_PATH Flag on T20/T30Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30KernelLowNo

Description: On Apalis/Colibri T20/T30 both fchdir() and fstat() fail with EBADF when the file was previously opened with the O_PATH flag.

Workaround: Required patches have been backported to our downstream Linux kernel: http://git.toradex.com/cgit/linux-toradex.git/log/?h=tegra-next

ELB-820New FeatureEnable Message when User Program CrashesColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30KernelLowNo

Description: We are currently using 4.11 which is not really an LTS release however we opted to do that because we were relying on it for certain later features for certain Wi-Fi solutions we wanted to support. It may make sense to stabilise on an LTS release for the future.

Workaround: You may find our backports based on Linux kernel 4.14 here: http://git.toradex.com/cgit/backports-toradex.git/log/?h=toradex-4.14

ELB-790FixedApalis/Colibri T30 PWM Capped at 12.45kHz.Colibri T30, Apalis T30PWMLowNo

Description: Apalis/Colibri T30 PWM was capped at 12.45kHz. We've increased it to 99.6kHz that can be further divided by integer divider.

Workaround: PWM peripheral input clock value can be increased to a maximum of 48MHz. Valid clock values can be calculated pwm_clk = 408MHz/N, where N=<1 , 128.5> in 0.5 increments

2.7 (Release date: 2018-01-04)
ELB-855New FeatureApalis/Colibri T30/iMX6, Colibri iMX7 and Colibri VF50/VF61 Stable ReleaseColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: This release is identical to the previous 2.7b4 release and has passed full validation and verification for Apalis T30, Apalis iMX6, Colibri T30, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Colibri iMX6 and Colibri iMX7.

2.7b4 (Release date: 2017-10-05)
In this release we changed to use Ext4 file system by default. This could lead to non booting modules if a previously saved U-Boot environment is set to non-ext4. Please see the following issue for more details: http://developer.toradex.com/software/linux/linux-software/release-details?view=all&issue=27678
ELB-749FixedConfig Block Check During Update May Fail Depending on Hardware Area Boot Partition SizeColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Bootloader, BuildsystemLowNo

Description: The config block check aka check_configblock may fail during update depending on the size of the hardware area boot partition which may lead to the config block not getting properly migrated or updated if still using parts of the legacy update procedure.

Workaround: Use U-Boot's built-in 'cfgblock create' functionality or use the Toradex Easy Installer where applicable. Alternatively find fixed legacy U-Boot update scripts in the -next branch of our meta-toradex-demo repository.

ELB-736FixedDefine Standard Rootfs Mount Behaviour and OptionsColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Bootloader, FlashMediumNo

Description: The kernel does not know about rw,noatime. The string rw by itself is valid, and to pass additional arguments rootflags=noatime can be used. The kernel mounts ext3/ext4 file systems by default ro, hence so far the kernel mounted the rootfs read-only. The init manager systemd then remounts the rootfs after file system checking. This makes sense and does not add measurable boot time. Let the kernel explicitly mount ro on block device based rootfs. The root mount flag noatime is only relevant when re-mounting read-write, hence it needs to be present in /etc/fstab. UBIFS used on raw NAND devices has no user space file checking, hence there is no value to mount it in read-only first. Also mount time for UBIFS is larger, and mounting first read-only and then read-write has higher boot time (300ms, likely due to missing block cache). Let the kernel explicitly mount rw on raw NAND based rootfs. UBIFS has no atime support, hence no root mount flags needed.

Workaround: The change to initially read-only mounted root file system on Apalis TK1 requires the U-Boot emmcargs environment variable to be adjusted to run NVIDIA's JetPack resp. L4T as documented here: http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/installing-nvidia-jetpack-with-l4t-on-apalis-tk1#Flashing_Latest_Boot_Loader

ELB-725Fixed'run update' Fails if the Rootfs is Exactly a Multiple of 64MApalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BootloaderLowNo

Description: If an image creates a rootfs which is exactly a multiple of 64 MByte and then if one executes in U-Boot 'run update' the detection that all 64 MByte chunks have been flashed fails and the update never completes. Note that the Toradex Easy Installer is not affected.

Workaround: Check the last rootfs chunk on the update media and create a zero length chunk with incremented number, e.g.: $ ls -l //colibri-imx6/ ... -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 67108864 Jul 12 15:13 root.ext3-106 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 67108864 Jul 12 15:13 root.ext3-107 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 48128 Jul 12 15:13 SPL ... $ touch //colibri-imx6/root.ext3-108

ELB-719FixedPower I2C Bus Communication Speed Should be Reduced to 100 KHzColibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30I2C, Power ManagementLowNo

Description: Power I2C bus communication speed should be reduced to 100 KHz as our temperature sensor chip LM95245 is not rated for higher speeds.

ELB-705New FeatureSupport Forcing 'cfgblock create' to Overwrite Existing Config BlockColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BootloaderLowNo

Description: Support forcing U-Boot's 'cfgblock create' command to overwrite an existing config block e.g. using a -y parameter and therefore not prompting the user for easier scripting.

ELB-699FixedEject Feature for Mass Storage MissingColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30SATA, SDIO/SD/MMC, USBLowNo

Description: Hitting the eject button either in the PCManFM file manager (pcmanfm) or the Disks gnome-disk-utility tool (gnome-disks) fails as follows due to the eject command line tool being missing:
Error ejecting media
Error ejecting /dev/sda: Error spawning command-line 'eject "/dev/sda"': Failed to execute child process "eject" (No such file or directory) (g-exec-error-quark, 8) (udisks-error-quark, 0)

ELB-693FixedUnify Behaviour When Config Block Is MissingColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BootloaderLowNo

Description: Currently various things may fail or behave strangely on certain modules if the config block is missing. Unify that behaviour by e.g. rather not allowing use of any features (e.g. Ethernet, RNDIS) at all in this case.

Workaround: Use the 'cfgblock create' U-Boot command to restore the config block. Alternatively we implemented similar functionality into our Toradex Easy Installer.

ELB-681New FeatureAdd support for LM816 (RTL8188EU)Colibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Wi-FiLowNo

Description: Add the driver for RTL8188EU which is e.g. used in LM816 to our standard images.

ELB-630New FeatureAdd Support for Capacitive Touch Display 7" Parallel V1.0AColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Capacitive Touch, RGBLowNo

Description: Add support for Capacitive Touch Display 7" Parallel V1.0A.

ELB-555New FeatureUpdate/Include Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Kernel Modules (aka Backports)Colibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Bluetooth, Buildsystem, Kernel, Wi-FiLowNo

Description: Include multiple Bluetooth and Wi-Fi kernel modules in our BSP demo image release packages.

Workaround: You may find our backports based on Linux kernel 4.11 here: http://git.toradex.com/cgit/backports-toradex.git/log/?h=toradex-4.11

2.7b3 (Release date: 2017-06-30)
ELB-701New FeatureSnappy Ubuntu Core Yocto Project Layer IntegrationApalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: There is now an experimental meta-snappy which allows regular Yocto project BSPs to support running Ubuntu Core snaps. Integrate this in our regular demo images.

ELB-657FixedImages: Configure systemd Without ACL SupportColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Using ACL with ubifs seems to increase the likelihood of filesystem corruption. Since ACL is an optional features and unlikely necessary on an embedded system switch ACL off.

ELB-629FixedModule May Hang During Boot Upon Hardware ResetColibri T30, Apalis T30Bootloader, Kernel, Power ManagementLowNo

Description: Depending on its DVFS state right before hardware reset the Apalis/Colibri T30 module may hang during a subsequent boot. Software reset seems not affected.

Workaround: Either power-cycle or make sure you are running at a higher DVFS state upon hardware reset. A fix for this called 'apalis/colibri_t30: improve vdd core pmic handling' may be found on our U-Boot 2016.11-toradex-next branch.

ELB-599New FeatureUpdate to Yocto Project Jethro Release 2.0.3Colibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Update toradex-bsp-platform.git branch LinuxImageV2.6.1 to the latest of the jethro branches. Note that we do not provide any binary demo images.

ELB-479New FeatureOver Temperature Notice MessageColibri T30, Apalis T30Temperature SensorLowNo

Description: As on our T30 designs there is a hardware over-temperature shut-off directly via PMIC we should check whether we could at least have an over temperature message shortly before that (e.g. 5 deg C).

2.7b2 (Release date: 2017-04-10)
ELB-650New FeatureNew Versioning SchemeColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: We changed our versioning scheme. Our BSP demo image packages are now e.g. called Apalis-iMX6_LXDE-Image_2.7b2-20170410.tar.bz2. The Linux kernel will report e.g. the version number 4.1.39-2.7.2+gba2f75f and U-Boot will report e.g. 2016.11-2.7.2+g60021a4. Details about the versioning can be found here: https://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/toradex-software-versioning-convention

ELB-639FixedPotential Systemd Hang on First BootColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Systemd may hang upon first boot due to certain services like run-postinsts and opkg-configure triggering a configuration reload later causing dynamic device services like the dev-ttyS0 one to hang.

Workaround: A fix has been implemented in our -next branch.

ELB-628New FeatureDeploy Mmc-UtilsApalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Buildsystem, Flash, SDIO/SD/MMCLowNo

Description: The mmc-utils allow e.g. inspecting the current health and life time estimation of the on-module eMMC.

ELB-627FixedHDMI Hot-Plugging Fails Configuring Desktop OutputApalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30HDMILowNo

Description: The udev rule /etc/udev/rules.d/hdmi.rules which should take care of this now fails with exit code 1. It looks like the RUN part of that rule should be reworked into its separate unit file to be spawned using SYSTEMD_WANTS.

Workaround: Manually call xrandr to get the desired effect.

ELB-601FixedUpdate Meta-Angstrom to Latest Resulting in Using Linaro GCC 6 CompilerColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Recently Ångström switched to using the gcc 6 compiler in their 2016.12 aka morty branch. Update meta-angstrom to latest in order for us to also make use of the Linaro gcc 6 compiler.

ELB-586New FeatureRemove Unneeded RDEPENDS From Our RecipesColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Bitbake for some time checks what other packages a package depends on by e.g. examining the output of ldd of a binary or examining used interpreters in scripts. So RDEPENDS are only needed for non obvious packages, e.g. such which get dynamically linked in code or packages providing data. Cleanup our layers.

ELB-521New FeatureSoC Unique NumberColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Miscellaneous PeripheralsLowNo

Description: Most of our SoC have a manufacturer defined unique and not alterable number. It's documented here: http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/soc-unique-id-linux

ELB-397FixedTimeout Waiting for dev-ttys0.device on First BootApalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Rarely a timeout waiting for dev-ttys0.device on first boot has been observed.

Workaround: Just power-cycle again.

V2.7 Beta 1 (Release date: 2017-01-13)
Known Issue for Colibri VF61: U-Boot 2016.11 Missing m4boot Command.
ELB-597FixedSysV Initscript Interference at Times Causing Networking Subsystem not to StartColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: With the move to morty all SysV initscripts have been installed which caused interference. This got fixed by finally getting rid of all SysV remnants.

ELB-556New FeatureLinux-ptp in BSPColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Apalis T30Buildsystem, EthernetLowNo

Description: Include linuxptp in BSP image

ELB-517New FeatureConfigure IPv6-in-IPv4 Tunnel (SIT Driver) as ModuleColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30EthernetLowNo

Description: The IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel driver creates an additional network interface (sit0). To avoid confusion around that interface and since the sit interface is only used seldom the driver should be made available as a module.

ELB-511FixedPCIe Clock and Reset May not Conform to SpecificationApalis T30PCIeLowNo

Description: Our current PEX 8605 errata workaround violates the PCIe clock and reset specification should no PCIe switch be present as e.g. the case on Ixora.

ELB-509FixedeMMC Partition Limited to 4GBApalis T30FlashMediumNo

Description: Currently our update.sh script limits the partition size to around 4GB by default so even after our automatic resizing only 4GB of the 8GB of available eMMC space on the Apalis T30 2GB can be used.

Workaround: Manually modify the EMMC_SIZE calculation for apalis-t30 in our update.sh script. Our upcoming Toradex Easy Installer will no longer suffer from this limitation.

ELB-508FixedUpdate Scripts Limits rootfs Size to around 5GB when using TFTPApalis iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30FlashMediumNo

Description: Our current update procedure reads the rootfs payload in pre split files of 64 MB size. The number of chunks is limited to 89 resulting in a maximum size of 5.5 GB.

Workaround: - use the ums command in U-Boot to export the modules eMMC as a mass storage device. - deploy a minimum rootfs and install the 'big' payload after booting into Linux

ELB-507FixedUpdate Scripts Limits rootfs Size to 4GBApalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30FlashMediumNo

Description: Our current update procedure requires the rootfs payload to fit in one file on a FAT filesystem. This limits its usable size to 4GB.

Workaround: - use the ums command in U-Boot to export the module's eMMC as a mass storage device - deploy a minimum rootfs and install the 'big' payload after booting into Linux - update over tftp, but see http://developer.toradex.com/software/linux/linux-software/release-details?view=release-roadmap&&issue=21229

ELB-506New FeatureUpdate U-Boot for all Modules to be Based on U-Boot 2016.11 ReleaseColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BootloaderLowNo

Description: Updates our downstream U-Boot to 2016.11. This also includes a newer UBI/UBIFS stack which fixes issues such as "Error reading superblock on volume 'ubi0:rootfs' errno=-22" when using UBI fastmap in U-Boot.

ELB-505New FeatureOpenEmbedded: Update to the Morty ReleaseColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Update our layers and the OE setup to support and use the morty release aka. Yocto Project 2.2.

ELB-492FixedSSH X11 Forwarding is Disabled by DefaultColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30EthernetLowNo

Description: In later OE versions the default SSH config changed so that X11 forwarding is not allowed. $ ssh -X root@192.168.10.185 X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

Workaround: Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to include X11Forwarding yes

ELB-440FixedDHCP Server on USB RNDIS Announces Module as RouterColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30USBLowNo

Description: When connecting the module using USB device connection, the module provides an IP address via it's own DHCP server. The DHCP server uses DHCP Option 3 (Router) to announce itself as router which can lead to internet connection interruption on the host.

ELB-434FixedOE Build on Distro with GCC 6 Host ToolchainColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Newer distros like e.g. Fedora 24 use GCC version 6 as the host (native) toolchain. Our jethro based Yocto project build is not able to build the needed native tools, among them the cross compiler on such distros.

Workaround: Use a lightweight container with an older distro as documented on our developer website.

ELB-420FixedMove to GTK+ 3 in Demo ImageColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Buildsystem, GraphicsLowNo

Description: OE migrated the sato image to GTK+ 3. This includes pcman-fm with its libfm. As lxpanel is using libfm we have to follow here or provide our own pcman-fm/libfm recipes. If we move to GTK+ 3 I guess we should do it with all GTK+ based software. e.g all of lxde/lxdm (which may have some issues), the GPIOconfig tool and tegrastats-gtk.

ELB-417New FeatureDistro Boot IntegrationColibri iMX7, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Bootloader, SDIO/SD/MMC, USBLowNo

Description: Further U-Boot distro boot integration would allow booting off regular ARM distro's SD cards or USB mass storage devices aka memory sticks.

ELB-380New FeatureConsider Using Udisks2Colibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Udisks development has stalled in 2014, udisks2 seems to be the successor. According to the OE recipes udisks2 also has less dependencies (notable lvm2, which adds almost 3.2MiB to the image and is not commonly used in embedded systems as well as sg3-utils, another 1.1MiB). Udisks2 also has a command line utility see: https://zeth.net/2014/05/28/modern_mounting_with_udisks2.html.

V2.6.1 Beta 1 (Release date: 2016-10-01)
ELB-480Fixed100mW Power Saving by Changing Default Settings of Multiplexed Pins of Camera InputColibri T30, Apalis T30BootloaderLowNo

Description: Changing the default settings of multiplexed pins of the camera input allows saving up to 100mW of power.

ELB-443New FeatureGCC-6 Usable as the CrosstoolchainApalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30KernelLowNo

Description: As OE moves to GCC-6 we should provide our NVIDIA Kernel sources in a way that they can be built with gcc 6. This would allow customers taking our BSP and using it with a later Yocto project release.

ELB-438New FeatureEDID Causing Kernel Panic on T30Colibri T30, Apalis T30HDMI, KernelLowNo

Description: Certain EDID from HDMI screens are causing a kernel panic upon boot on T30.

ELB-424New FeatureUnify and Document the Use of fdt_fixupColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BootloaderLowNo

Description: The use of fdt_fixup should be unified across all our modules and document.

ELB-340New FeatureSeparate meta-toradex LayerColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Separate the 'one size fits all' meta-toradex layer into BSP layers by SoC vendor and a software layer for the demo images.

V2.6 (Release date: 2016-08-26)
ELB-471New FeatureApalis/Colibri T30/iMX6 Stable ReleaseApalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: This release is identical to the previous V2.6 Beta 2 release and has passed full validation and verification for Apalis T30, Apalis iMX6, Colibri T30 and Colibri iMX6.

V2.6 Beta 2 (Release date: 2016-07-01)
ELB-403FixedFlorence On-Screen Keyboard not Showing Labels on Special KeysColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Miscellaneous PeripheralsLowNo

Description: The labels on special keys such as caps lock, enter or tab are missing.

Workaround: A fix is already available on the V2.6-next Meta-Toradex branch.

V2.5 Beta 3 (Release date: 2015-12-15)
ELB-318New FeatureAdd Driver for LM006 USB Wi-Fi Dongle to Standard ImageApalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30USB, Wi-FiLowNo

Description: Add support for the LM Technologies LM006 Wi-Fi USB dongle to our standard images.

V2.5 Beta 2 (Release date: 2015-11-06)
ELB-312FixedUSB Detection Issue & Low Transfer SpeedColibri T30, Apalis T30USBLowNo

Description: USB detection may fail especially on the OTG port plus the transfer speed may be rather low.

Workaround: Reverting http://git.toradex.com/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?h=tegra&id=629b91fa046df5213ed3312d2e2b8683e6bdd70c helps but reintroduces issue #6422.

ELB-301FixedRare I/O Error on eMMCColibri T30, Apalis T30SATA, SDIO/SD/MMCLowNo

Description: Very rare occurrence of eMMC issues as shown below in combination with extensively heavy SATA and/or SD card stress testing: I/O error, dev mmcblk0

Workaround: Avoid extensively heavy SATA and/or SD card stress testing. Usually power-cycling brings the system back to life.

ELB-297FixedSlow Memory CopyColibri T30, Apalis T30RAMLowNo

Description: Libc based memory copy recently slowed down by almost a factor of two.

Workaround: Use one of our V2.1 based BSPs which did not exhibit this issue.

ELB-226FixedRace Condition in USB OTG Device/Host Detection on IxoraApalis T30USBLowNo

Description: On Ixora with set jumper JP2 the lower X8 USB host port (shared with the X9 micro USB port) is not reliably working. There seems to be a race condition in NVIDIA's USB OTG driver concerning the loading and binding of the USB device gadget driver which prevents Apalis USBO1 being operational in host mode.

Workaround: Disconnecting the USB device, removing the jumper JP2, connecting a USB micro cable to a PC, disconnecting the same again, jumpering JP2 again and connecting the USB device again should remedy the issue. Alternatively booting with JP2 removed and only connecting JP2 after boot also works.

ELB-139New FeatureT30 U-Boot FramebufferColibri T30, Apalis T30Bootloader, RGBLowNo

Description: No framebuffer support in U-Boot for Colibri/Apalis T30, therefore splashscreen in U-Boot is not possible.

Workaround: Use splashscreen support in Linux.

ELB-106New FeatureBCT Memory OptimisationApalis T30Bootloader, RAMLowNo

Description: Currently DDR3L RAM is running at 533MHz. Further optimisations to achieve 800MHz speeds are required.

V2.4 Beta 1 (Release date: 2015-05-18)
ELB-275FixedFloating Point Exception using nv_omx_h264encColibri T30, Apalis T30Video CodecsLowNo

Description: One might get the following floating point exception when using nv_omx_h264enc either trying to transcode MPEG transport streams or encode video stream coming from a Gstreamer appsrc: +NvxVideoEncoderSetNvMMAttributes-NvxVideoEncoderSetNvMMAttributesFloating point exception

Workaround: If you experience this exact issue please downgrade to our V2.3 Beta 3 (October 31, 2014) release for now. We opened a ticket with NVIDIA and are working with them to get this resolved as soon as possible.

ELB-269FixedRare I/O Error on eMMCColibri T30, Apalis T30Flash, Kernel, SDIO/SD/MMCMediumNo

Description: Rare occurrence of eMMC issues as shown below can lead to read-only root file system or even non-booting systems: I/O error, dev mmcblk0

Workaround: Usually power-cycling brings the system back to life. The tegra-next branch of our Linux kernel source repository contains a fix for this.

ELB-152FixedDifferent Mountpoint Names when Mounted at Boot vs. Mounted at Runtime / with DiskutilityApalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30SATA, SDIO/SD/MMC, USBLowNo

Description: Mountpoint names are different when mounted at boot vs. mounted at runtime / with diskutility.

Workaround: None.

V2.3 Beta 5 (Release date: 2014-12-19)
ELB-1450New FeatureImplement Optional MMC UHS SupportApalis T30SDIO/SD/MMCLowNo

Description: Implement optional MMC UHS support (enable using mmc_uhs=1 kernel command line parameter, requires V1.1A or later HW).

ELB-255FixedX-Server Rotation BrokenColibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Graphics, HDMI, LVDS, RGB, VGALowNo

Description: XRandR based rotation as described on the following article on our developer website is broken since our V2.1 releases: http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/x-server-%28linux%29#Rotation

Workaround: Please revert to one of our older V2.0 based releases for now.

ELB-236FixedMemory Leak during Gstreamer Video PlaybackColibri T30, Apalis T30MultimediaLowNo

Description: Several hours of gstreamer streaming aborts due to memory leak in nvvidconv gstreamer plugin.

Workaround: Under certain circumstances using an older NVIDIA L4T R16.3 based BSP might be feasible until NVIDIA releases a fix.

ELB-103FixedUSB Low-Speed IssueColibri T30, Apalis T30USBLowNo

Description: Certain low-speed USB devices are not detected correctly when plugged into a running system.

Workaround: Use a hub or ensure device is connected before power up. A driver fix will be made to correct this behaviour.

V2.3 Beta 3 (Release date: 2014-10-31)
ELB-234FixedAnalogue Audio Codec Disappearing during RebootColibri T30, Apalis T30Analog AudioLowNo

Description: Analogue audio codec disappearing during reboot particularly if previously used for audio recording.

Workaround: Power-cycling should help. Alternatively wait for us to backport respective Linux kernel driver fixes.

ELB-138New FeatureU-Boot Gigabit EthernetApalis T30Bootloader, EthernetLowNo

Description: No support for Ethernet on Apalis T30 in U-Boot.

V2.3 Beta 2 (Release date: 2014-09-03)
ELB-227FixedPCIe and with it Gigabit Ethernet Rarely Unavailable after BootApalis T30Ethernet, PCIeLowNo

Description: PCIe is rarely unavailable after Boot on the Apalis T30 module indicated by the following kernel message(s) during boot: 'PCIE: port 0: link down, ignoring', 'PCIE: port 1: link down, ignoring' and/or 'PCIE: port 2: link down, ignoring'. Gigabit Ethernet is also affected by this issue as its controller chip is connected through PCIe indicated by the following missing kernel message during boot: 'igb 0000:01:00.0: Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Network Connection' resp. 'igb 0000:07:00.0: Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Network Connection'. We are working together with NVIDIA to solve this issue as it seems to be a hardware issue of the PCIe controller in the T30 SoC.

Workaround: Currently the only thing known to help is power-cycling or sometimes also doing a reset. As the issue is probably dependant on operating conditions such as temperature varying this might also help. We are working together with NVIDIA to find a good software workaround for this issue.

V2.3 Beta 1 (Release date: 2014-08-04)
ELB-1443New FeatureCamera Serial Interface (CSI-2)Apalis T30CSILowNo

Description: Implement initial CSI-2 support for the Aptina AS0260 YUV sensor.

ELB-237FixedRare I/O Error on eMMCApalis T30Flash, Kernel, SDIO/SD/MMCMediumNo

Description: Rare I/O error observed on eMMC which might prevent successful boot.

Workaround: Power-cycle usually helps. Alternatively use a later custom kernel or await our official release thereof.

ELB-197FixedDisabling HDMI Display Controller via modedb Kernel ArgumentsColibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Graphics, HDMILowNo

Description: Currently when disabling the HDMI display controller by specifying the modedb option 'video=tegrafb1:off' from within U-Boot as Linux kernel boot argument the Tegra X driver complains with 'failed to initialize the display controller library' and refuses to start X at all.

Workaround: As a workaround one can remove the HDMI display controller's device node 'rm /dev/tegra_dc_1' and restart LXDM 'systemctl restart lxdm' from within Linux.

ELB-195FixedU-Boot TFTP/NFS Booting via USB-to-EthernetColibri T30, Apalis T30Bootloader, EthernetLowNo

Description: Currently NFS booting mostly fails due to some timeouts in the Ethernet resp. USB stack.

Workaround: Build latest U-Boot sources from git.toradex.com.

ELB-1184Known IssueVideo Playback on Parallel RGB Display not Possible Under Certain CircumstancesColibri T30, Apalis T30Multimedia, RGB, USBLowNo

Description: Video playback with nvgstplayer is not working when booted with a plugged-in USB webcam.

Workaround: Plugging-in the webcam after the system booted up may alleviate the issue.

ELB-1183Known IssueBoot Error "commit machine-id"Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30KernelLowNo

Description: There may be a boot error reported concerning "commit machine-id". This is caused by an incompatibility between later systemd version and the downstream NVIDIA L4T R16.5 based Linux kernel 3.1.10. However, no further adverse effect has been discovered.

Workaround: Running a mainline based Linux kernel does not exhibit this issue.

ELB-1161Known IssueSpurious Errors Shown During Legacy Update ProcedureApalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BootloaderLowNo

Description: During the legacy update procedure running e.g.:
run setupdate
run update
May show the following spurious errors which can usually be ignored:
MMC read: dev # 0, block # 16383, count 1 ... MMC: block number 0x4000 exceeds max(0x2000)
0 blocks read: ERROR
This has to do with various eMMC parts featuring different eMMC hardware boot area partition sizes which get probed by the legacy U-Boot update scripts potentially showing missleading error messages.

Workaround: Just ignore such error messages during the legacy update procedure.

ELB-1129Known IssueApalis T30: USB OTG Device/Host Mode Switching Causing Kernel Lock-upApalis T30USBLowNo

Description: If a USB 2.0 micro-B USB-OTG cable is plugged in the USB 3.0 micro-B socket, the connection is mechanically rather loose and may cause a lot of ID change interrupts in the kernel triggering going from host mode to suspended mode. This leads the kernel sometimes to lock itself up.

Workaround: Fix the USB-OTG cable so that it cannot move around causing spurious interrupts.

ELB-1120Feature RequestAdd Modules Parameter to MWiFiex Driver For Single Antenna OperationApalis iMX8X, Colibri iMX8X, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30, Apalis iMX8Wi-FiLowNo

Description: For single antenna set single_rf=0x01

ELB-1116Feature RequestT20/T30 Internal Video DAC OutputColibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Graphics, VGALowNo

Description: The T20 SoC internal video DAC output is unsupported by NVIDIA's L4T Linux SW stack our BSP is based on. The T30 SoC does not even support any internal video DAC functionality according to NVIDIA's latest specification.

Workaround: Use an external video DAC on the carrier board similar as to what may be found on our Colibri Evaluation board, Iris or Aster.

ELB-1111Known IssueUART Input OverrunColibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30UARTLowNo

Description: Certain use-cases may cause UART input overruns.

Workaround: Disabling DMA may help but ultimately this got fixed in the Linux kernel 4.19.

ELB-1025Known IssueNative compilation using arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc not working with GCC 7.2 and aboveColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Currently native Compilation is not working in the regular Bsp (version > 2.8) due to a mismatch of GCC libraries.

Workaround: Do cross-compilation or create a custom image with GCC being pre-installed.
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " packagegroup-sdk-target"

ELB-1003Known IssueHDMI HDA Audio IssuesColibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Digital Audio, HDMILowNo

Description: HDMI HDA resp. I2S audio may not work with certain screens depending on available display modes and pixel clock frequencies. HDMI HDA resp. I2S audio may also not work after hot-plugging.

Workaround: Make sure to use vidargs selecting a HDMI audio capable pixel clock frequency. Do not hot-plug resp. power-cycle after plugging in HDMI. If you keep having issues try another brand/model screen.

ELB-1002Known IssueU-Boot Splash Screen Not WorkingApalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BootloaderLowNo

Description: On Colibri T20 and Apalis/Colibri T30 the famebuffer console output is shown rather than an image splash screen due to differences in graphics stacks. On Apalis TK1 there is currently no framebuffer support.

Workaround: You may use a Linux kernel or user space splash screen.

ELB-977Known IssueConcurrent Dual CSI-2 Camera FailingApalis T30CSILowNo

Description: Concurrent dual CSI-2 camera is currently failing on Apalis T30. It is working fine on Apalis TK1.

Workaround: Apalis TK1 would support this.

ELB-976Known IssueYear 2038 IssueColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Kernel, Miscellaneous Peripherals, RTCLowNo

Description: On 32-bit systems, Linux uses a 32-bit signed integer type 'time_t' to represent the time at various locations. It gives the time as seconds relative to 1970. The time_t type wraps at "2038-01-19 03:14:07", so all users of time_t likely fail when a type_t instance is set to a timer after that date. This issue is applicable to all 32-bit systems and will be fixed in the mainline eventually.

ELB-975Known IssueLXDE, Moved Desktop Icons are not Redrawn AutomaticallyColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30RGBLowNo

Description: If one moves desktop icons in LXDE they are not redrawn automatically.

Workaround: Click anywhere on the desktop and the icons reappear at the position they have been moved to.

ELB-950Known IssueETH1_LINK LED Only Showing Gigabit Link StateApalis TK1, Apalis T30EthernetLowNo

Description: The ETH1_LINK LED is only lighting up if a Gigabit link is established. If the link is only 10 Mbps or Fast Ethernet the LED currently does not show any link.

ELB-948Feature RequestAdd gatttool to Demo ImagesColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BluetoothLowNo

ELB-938Known Issuesystemd udisks2 Linux Kernel Incompatibility Causing Power-Off After Unmount of USB Mass Storage Devices to FailColibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Kernel, SATA, SDIO/SD/MMC, USBLowNo

Description: An incompatibility between the downstream Linux kernel 3.1.10 and systemd in conjunction with udisks2 is causing power-off after unmount of USB mass storage devices to fail as follows:
root@apalis-t30:~# udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sda
Error powering off drive: Error opening /dev/sda: Device or resource busy (udisks-error-quark, 0)
Note: As a side effect subsequently plugged in USB mass storage devices may also get increasing device node names even though previous ones already got unplugged beforehand (e.g. sdb, sdc etc.).

Workaround: Do not use systemd or upgrade to the mainline Linux kernel.

ELB-911Known IssuePlaying Wavefile on Apalis T30 using Java makes the Kernel freezeColibri T30, Apalis T30Analog AudioLowNo

Description: This has initially been observed using JDK 1.8.0_121 on our stable BSP 2.6 but the system still does freeze as of JDK 1.8.0_152 on BSP 2.8b3. There seems to be a race condition within the clocking and/or DMA subsystems caused by Java's rather special way of doing ALSA.

Workaround: Playing MIDI files instead seems to work. Alternatively, using the mainline Linux kernel playing a wavefile using the same Java versions also works just fine.

ELB-880Feature RequestAdd a Qt5 Based Browser to the LXQt recipeColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30, Apalis iMX8Browser, BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Currently there is no suitable browser which fits in the LXQt recipe. Find a suitable browser and integrate it into the layers.

Description: LM816 Wi-Fi speed is limited to 1 Mbit/s rx/tx.

Workaround: Updating to a later Wi-Fi backports may help but only marginally.

ELB-770Known IssueUpdated Recipe for devmem2 Might Cause LIC_FILES_CHKSUM ErrorColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: An existing OE setup updated to 2.7b4 might show the following error: ERROR: devmem2-1.0-r7 do_populate_lic: QA Issue: devmem2: The LIC_FILES_CHKSUM does not match for file://devmem2.c;endline=38;md5=a9eb9f3890384519f435aedf986297cf This is caused by a file allready in your download directory.

Workaround: Execute the following: bitbake -c cleanall devmem2

ELB-767Known IssueLegacy Ubuntu 12.04 Not Compatible With Our Update ScriptColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: Using legacy Ubuntu 12.04 is not compatible with our update script due to too old split implementation in coreutils. Coreutils needs to be 8.16 or later.

Workaround: Have a look at the various suggestions given in our community: https://www.toradex.com/community/questions/15912/apalis-module-update-script-fails.html

ELB-757Known Issue/etc/profile Not Properly Sourced Upon Graphical LoginColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30GraphicsLowNo

Description: For unknown reason /etc/profile does not get properly sourced upon graphical login. Not only does the shell prompt look strange in a desktop terminal but fw_setenv also does not work as it is missing some configuration: When using fw_setenv from a modules desktop environment one gets an error indicating that the boot partition is not writable. sh-4.3# fw_setenv x z Write error on /dev/mmcblk0boot0: Operation not permitted Error: can't write fw_env to flash

Workaround: Revert to a serial terminal or just manually source /etc/profile which will also properly configure fw_setenv: sh-4.3# . /etc/profile root@apalis-t30:~#

ELB-702Known IssueNTSC Decoding With ACA (ADV7280 Resp. ADV7280-M)Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Camera Parallel Interface, CSILowNo

Description: While the ADV7280 as found on our new Analogue Camera Adapter should allow for NTSC decoding it currently seems not to work properly. The same issue has been observed using the CSI version ADV7280-M on Apalis T30/TK1.

Workaround: Apalis/Colibri iMX6 is known to work with NTSC input on ACA. The same applies to using the CSI version ADV7280-M on Apalis iMX6.

ELB-692Known IssueUSB Memory Sticks Not Working Reliably in U-BootColibri iMX8X, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30, Apalis iMX8Bootloader, USBLowNo

Description: Unfortunately U-Boot's USB functionality may be rather limited.

Workaround: Usually using a different brand/model USB stick may prove working just fine. Alternatively USB SD card readers seem to work rather better.

ELB-674Known IssueSometimes the RTC Driver Recovers Invalid Date/Time from the External RTCColibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30RTCLowNo

Description: After the RTC has been under-powered, some RTC deliver invalid date/time. The external RTC currently shipped on Toradex evaluation boards has a oscillator fail bit which indicates when RTC does not contain a valid date/time.

ELB-638Known IssueU-Boot: Certain USB Memory Sticks May Not Work Reliably Behind a USB HubColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BootloaderLowNo

Description: Certain USB memory sticks may not work reliably behind a USB hub. Please note that some (Apalis) if not all (Colibri) USB sockets on our evaluation boards are always behind an on-carrier USB hub.

Workaround: Switch to a different carrier board without an on-carrier USB hub like Iris or Ixora, try a different brand USB memory stick or revert to a completely different update media like an SD card.

ELB-602Known IssueColibri T30 May Freeze on Concurrent SD Card and Multiple USB Devices Stress TestingColibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30SDIO/SD/MMC, USBLowNo

Description: In use cases involving all 3 USB host controllers with USB hubs connected to the OTG as well as the regular host port with USB keyboard/mouse resp. USB-to-serial-adapter connected plus an SD card the Colibri T30 may freeze upon stress testing.

Workaround: Only use two USB host controllers. Ethernet already uses one of them. Use an external USB hub for further USB ports.
Alternatively if you don't use Ethernet you may disable it as follows: 'echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio232/value'.
We didn't see these issues when using mainline.

ELB-575Known IssueLX Panel, CPU Usage Monitor & Confusing Display Due to Dynamic Full ScaleApalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30CPULowNo

Description: The LX Panel gives an overview of the current CPU Usage by providing a rolling chart of the last minute. Full Scale of the chart is what all the CPU cores which are currently on could compute at the current CPU speed. Since the CPU speed adapts to the current workload full scale is not a constant. On top of that on some modules CPU cores are dynamically switched on or off depending on the current computing load. This can lead to the confusing effect that increasing the load by a little can lead to a decreased load displayed in the 'CPU Usage Monitor' because on additional core is switched on.

ELB-571Known IssueMemory Corruption with ext4 FilesystemColibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Flash, Kernel, SATA, SDIO/SD/MMC, USBMediumNo

Description: NVIDIA's downstream L4T kernel our BSPs are based on has issues with the ext4 file system.

Workaround: Use the ext3 file system instead.

ELB-554Known IssueExar PCIe UART driver does not work on Apalis T30Apalis TK1, Apalis T30PCIe, UARTLowNo

Description: Exar PCIe UART driver backport (or official Exar driver) does not work on Apalis T30

ELB-539Known IssueFirst Boot, Rootfs Expansion Affects System PerformanceApalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30FlashMediumNo

Description: On first boot the rootfs partition gets expanded to the full size of the partition it lives in. This resizing process adversely affects system performance for the first few minutes until completed. Compare with: http://git.toradex.com/cgit/meta-toradex-bsp-common.git/tree/recipes-core/fs-init

ELB-530Known IssueIrDA not ImplementedColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30IrDALowNo

Description: IrDA requires specially modulated UART signals. While at least some of the UART drivers can be compiled or configured to use IrDA we didn't test if this would actually work.

ELB-526Feature RequestSGTL5000 Audio Multi Instance Codec DriverApalis TK1, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Analog AudioLowNo

Description: The SGTL5000 driver in the Linux Kernel currently only supports one codec. The driver would need amending so that multiple codecs can be used. The issue is the statically created VDDD_LDO regulator.

ELB-463Known IssueSPDIF not WorkingColibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Digital AudioLowNo

Description: SPDIF is not working in the V2.6 beta 2 release. This is a regression against older releases.

ELB-407Known IssueBusybox and UTF-8 Chars in FilenamesColibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30BuildsystemLowNo

Description: For many utils (e.g. ls) we use busybox in our image. These utils in the used busybox version display chars outside of the 7 bit ASCII range as a '?' even if the locale is set correctly and the system uses e.g. UTF-8.

Workaround: Just enable UNICODE in the BusyBox configuration and re-compile.

ELB-399Known IssueGstreamer/Nvgstplayer Memory LeakColibri T30, Apalis T30Multimedia, Video CodecsLowNo

Description: Each iteration of a movie H264 playback using gstreamer/nvgstplayer allocates a queue via NvMMQueueCreate(phQueue=0x4225f318, max_entries=32, entry-size=224, thread_safe=1) inside NVIDIA's binary only libnvmm_utils.so library which is never freed (such a function creates three pointers of total size 7392 + 28 + 32). Most probably there is a missing NvMMQueueDestroy() somewhere in the decoder handling.

Workaround: The easiest workaround would be to spawn a new gstreamer process for every movie being played as destroying that process after the playback will explicitly free any memory even if not previously implicitly having been freed. Alternatively our partner Antmicro hacked up a custom libnvmm_utils.so wrapper library to be loaded by LD_PRELOAD which may intercept NvMMQueueCreate() calls and adaptively revert to a static queue in order to prevent any memory leaks. While such a solution will of course be highly use-case dependant it should fully fix any leaking. Further investigation on NVIDIA's side is pending.

ELB-338Feature RequestLinux Kernel Splash Screen Doesn't Work on HDMI OutputApalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30HDMILowNo

Description: Using a Linux logo be it the penguins or a custom one as e.g. explained at http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/splash-screen-linux does not work on the HDMI output. When the kernel sets up the display driver it first sets up VGA resolution subsequently doing DDC/EDID and then sets the final resolution. While the Logo is drawn during the VGA resolution setting it is lost later on.

Workaround: On Apalis/Colibri iMX6 one may use the U-Boot splash screen on HDMI output as well.

ELB-313Known IssueIncompatibility Between L4T Linux Kernel and iproute2-ss140804Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30CANLowNo

Description: There exists an incompatibility of sorts between the older L4T Linux kernel version our Tegra BSPs are based on and the newer iproute2-ss140804 from our V2.4 BSPs leading to errors as follows:
root@apalis-t30:~# ip -details link show can0
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
Cannot send link get request: Invalid argument

Workaround: Either downgrade to iproute2-ss131122 from our V2.3 BSPs or simply drop specifying a particular interface (e.g. use 'ip -details link show' instead).

ELB-262Feature RequestXinput-Calibrator May Fail When Axis Are SwappedColibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30Resistive TouchLowNo

Description: Xinput-calibrator may fail when axis are swapped. Usually a single axis swapped works however when there are multiple ones swapped the algorithm may fail getting any useful calibration coefficients.

Workaround: Avoid swapped axis e.g. by fixing the hardware wiring or pre-configure them via e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf as follows:
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier    "ResistiveTouch"
    MatchProduct  "stmpe-ts"
    Option    "SwapAxes"  "1"
