Embedded Linux BSP Q2 2023 Quarterly Release. |
ELB-5000 | Fixed | SATA Interface Is Not Working Reliably | Apalis iMX8 | SATA | | Low | No |
Description: SATA device is not always detected at boot |

ELB-3431 | Fixed | SATA Instability | Apalis iMX8 | Kernel, SATA | | Low | No |
Description: SATA is not working stable. Workaround: None |
LTS release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/embedded-linux-yocto-project-bsp-3-0-4-lts-for-imx-tk1-system-on-modules |
ELB-1347 | New Feature | Bring-Up SATA | Apalis iMX8 | SATA | | Low | No |
Description: SATA does not work reliably. At least not with SATA devices allowing higher speed. E.g. our Kingston mSATA modules take a long time to get to GEN1 if the driver is not giving up before that. |
This is the initial release for Apalis iMX8QM V1.0B only. See more at https://www.toradex.com/news/3-0b1-embedded-linux-bsps-for-apalis-imx8-system-on-modules |
ELB-1708 | New Feature | SATA Support | Apalis iMX8 | SATA | | Low | No |
Description: Add support for SATA |
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-899 | Fixed | Regression: Automounting Fails With systemd udev Rules | Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX6ULL, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30 | Buildsystem, SATA, SDIO/SD/MMC, USB | | Low | No |
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. |
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-699 | Fixed | Eject Feature for Mass Storage Missing | Colibri iMX7, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Apalis TK1, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30 | SATA, SDIO/SD/MMC, USB | | Low | No |
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-301 | Fixed | Rare I/O Error on eMMC | Colibri T30, Apalis T30 | SATA, SDIO/SD/MMC | | Low | No |
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-152 | Fixed | Different Mountpoint Names when Mounted at Boot vs. Mounted at Runtime / with Diskutility | Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri VF50, Colibri VF61, Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30 | SATA, SDIO/SD/MMC, USB | | Low | No |
Description: Mountpoint names are different when mounted at boot vs. mounted at runtime / with diskutility. Workaround: None. |
ELB-2083 | Feature Request | SATA Support | Apalis iMX6 | SATA | | | No |
Description: Add support for SATA |
ELB-1375 | Known Issue | Slow SATA write operation on larger HDDs | Apalis iMX6 | SATA | | Low | No |
Description: Some kinds of HDDs can run into a timeout during write operations. The result of the write operation is successful anyway, but it takes a long time to finish. This only occurs when the HDD is connected with SATA and if the particular HDD is one of the affected models. Workaround: Use another HDD, a USB-to-SATA converter or Torizon. Problem is solved in mainline. |
ELB-938 | Known Issue | systemd udisks2 Linux Kernel Incompatibility Causing Power-Off After Unmount of USB Mass Storage Devices to Fail | Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30 | Kernel, SATA, SDIO/SD/MMC, USB | | Low | No |
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-571 | Known Issue | Memory Corruption with ext4 Filesystem | Colibri T20, Colibri T30, Apalis T30 | Flash, Kernel, SATA, SDIO/SD/MMC, USB | | Medium | No |
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. |
