| 6.3.0-devel-202305 monthly release |
 TOR-2975 | New Feature | Enable support for the Microchip KSZ8795/KSZ88X3 switch chips on TorizonCore 6 (upstream kernel) | Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6, Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7 | Kernel | |
Description: Enable the Microchip KSZ8795/KSZ88X3 switch IC device driver as a module on TorizonCore 6, for the upstream kernel. |
| 6.2.0 quarterly release |
| TOR-2452 | Fixed | 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-2746 | Fixed | 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. |
| 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-2451 | Fixed | 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. |
| 5.7.0 LTS release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/torizon-core-release-5-7-0-quarterly-release |
| TOR-2397 | Fixed | Chromium container fails to start in the evaluation containers on modules with GPU | Verdin iMX8M Plus, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Colibri iMX8X, Colibri iMX6, Apalis iMX8, Apalis iMX6 | Debian Base Containers | Low |
Description: The Chromium and Cog containers were split, and HW acceleration on the GPU (rendering) enabled on Chromium. These changes have broken the startup of Portainer in our "TorizonCore with Evaluation Containers" image. |
| 5.6.0-devel-202203 monthly pre-release |
| TOR-2167 | New 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. |
