| ELB-3499 | New Feature | Apalis iMX8 Images Additionally Contain Apalis iMX8X Overlays | Verdin iMX8M Plus, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Apalis iMX8X, Colibri iMX8X, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Apalis iMX8 | Device Tree | Low | No |
Description: An image for Apalis iMX8 contains in addition to the ones specific to Apalis iMX8 the specific ones for Apalis iM8X. While this does not hurt it might be confusing. Workaround: - |
| ELB-3485 | New Feature | Add EULA License Accept Window When Installing an Image Using the Toradex Easy Installer | Verdin iMX8M Plus, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Apalis iMX8X, Colibri iMX8X, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Apalis iMX8 | Buildsystem | Low | No |

Description: Change OpenEmbedded recipes from Toradex to fetch from https instead of git where possible.
In an approach to make it more user-friendly, especially for big company customers that do not allow git-protocol in their networks we decided to use https as a fetching source.
We are aware that we cannot do this for each and every layer but at least for ours we decided to switch from git to https. |
| ELB-3337 | New Feature | Consistent /boot Mounting if Booting From SD Card or USB Memory Stick | Verdin iMX8M Plus, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Apalis iMX8X, Colibri iMX8X, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Apalis iMX8 | Flash | Low | No |
Description: Due to the class "classes/image_type_tezi.bbclass" in "meta-toradex-bsp-common" setting the label to all upper-case "BOOT", and WIC images using all lower-case "boot", the /boot mounting may actually not work at all (given that an image got actually installed to eMMC using the Toradex Easy Installer prior to distrobooting from SD card and/or USB memory stick). However, rather than having the eMMC's boot partition mounted to /boot it would make much more sense to mount the resp. boot media's boot partition there. |

Description: WIC images fail mounting /boot. Looks like classes/image_type_tezi.bbclass in meta-toradex-bsp-common is setting the label to all upper-case BOOT while WIC images are using all lower-case boot. This is particularly bad on Verdin iMX8M Plus as due to no Toradex Easy Installer being available as of yet we are using WIC images with the bmap tool for production flashing. |
| ELB-3293 | New Feature | Make /etc/fw_env.config Unaware of Used Block Device Instance | Verdin iMX8M Plus, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Apalis iMX8X, Colibri iMX8X, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Apalis iMX8 | Bootloader, Buildsystem | Low | No |

Description: Use KBUILD_DEFCONFIG in OpenEmbedded to define the defconfig to build the kernel from. Toradex is now using the defconfigs from the kernel-repo instead of providing separate defconfigs in OpenEmbedded. However if you wish to provide your own defconfig in OpenEmbedded you can still do so. |
| ELB-2975 | New Feature | Distroboot DHCP Boot Requires New Format of Scripts to Make it Functional | Verdin iMX8M Plus, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Apalis iMX8X, Colibri iMX8X, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Apalis TK1, Apalis iMX8 | Bootloader | Low | No |

Description: We now default to i.MX 8X C0 SoC silicon as used on Apalis iMX8X V1.1B and Colibri iMX8X V1.0C and later. However, we also introduced new machines for backwards compatibility reason being called apalis-imx8x-v11a and colibri-imx8x-v10b. Colibri iMX8X V1.0C and later modules also have different RAM chips assembled requiring a different RAMID to be fused. Unfortunately, Colibri iMX8X V1.0B modules produced before 2020/02/04 may not have a proper RAMID fused and therefore won't work with later BSPs starting with BSP 4.0 from June 2020. Workaround: Please contact Toradex support should you happen to have an early Colibri iMX8X V1.0B module with incorrect/missing RAMID fusing which does not run with BSP 4.0 from June 2020 or later. |

| ELB-1278 | Known Issue | SPI CS When Using DMA | Apalis iMX8X, Colibri iMX8X, Apalis iMX8 | SPI | Low | No |
Description: It’s a limitation that one cannot use native SPI CS & DMA and have a continuous CS for the whole transfer. The CS is deasserted after each word sent. Workaround: Either use the driver in PIO mode or use GPIO CS if using DMA.
To use the driver in PIO mode, in the device-tree override the dma-names property, i.e. with 'dma-names = "no","no";' |

| ELB-2645 | Known Issue | Software Reset does not do a full System Reset | Apalis iMX8X, Colibri iMX8X, Apalis iMX8 | SCFW | Low | No |
Description: A major feature of NXP's BSP L4.14.98_2.3.1_patch was to add support for partition reset. This will reset only a part of the SoC. It does not rerun the ROM so code will not be reloaded. This is the most common way i.MX 8/8X customers do reset as they don’t want the M4 to reset if the AP needs to reset.
So software reset will not reboot the whole system anymore, only the AP partition. You can revert this by following below workaround. Workaround: A complete system reset is still supported. However, the default ATF does a partition reset, not a board reset. It will have to be modified to do a board reset. It will need to call sc_pm_reset() rather than sc_pm_reboot() or sc_pm_reboot_partition(). So from the customer's perspective, this was a change in ATF that they will have to revert. They should be porting ATF for their use case anyway. |
