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.

Issue #StatusSubjectModuleSubsystemWinCE OSSeveritySubmitted for Mainline

6.3.0 (Release date: 2023-07-10)
Embedded Linux BSP Q2 2023 Quarterly Release.
ELB-5000FixedSATA Interface Is Not Working ReliablyApalis iMX8SATALowNo

Description: SATA device is not always detected at boot

5.4.0 (Release date: 2021-09-30)
Embedded Linux BSP Q3 2021 Quarterly Release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/bsp-layers-reference-images-yocto-project-5-4-0-quarterly
ELB-3431FixedSATA InstabilityApalis iMX8Kernel, SATALowNo

Description: SATA is not working stable.

Workaround: None

3.0.4 (Release date: 2020-04-21)
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-1347New FeatureBring-Up SATAApalis iMX8SATALowNo

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.

3.0b1 (Release date: 2019-06-12)
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-1708New FeatureSATA SupportApalis iMX8SATALowNo

Description: Add support for SATA

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-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.

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-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)

V2.5 Beta 2 (Release date: 2015-11-06)
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.

V2.4 Beta 1 (Release date: 2015-05-18)
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.

Not Planned
ELB-2083Feature RequestSATA SupportApalis iMX6SATANo

Description: Add support for SATA

ELB-1375Known IssueSlow SATA write operation on larger HDDsApalis iMX6SATALowNo

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-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-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.
