| 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. |

| TOR-2432 | Fixed | TorizonCore 6.0.0-devel-202209 won't boot on Colibri iMX7 | Colibri iMX7 | Kernel | Low |
Description: The Colibri iMX7 boot hangs during the kernel startup.
Update: this was fixed at the BSP level, so nothing was done on TorizonCore. Use a nightly image from September 30 or newer to get the fix. |
| 5.7.2 patch release |
| TOR-2650 | Fixed | Running "shutdown -h now" or "poweroff" on Torizon for colibri-imx7-emmc results in a partial reboot | Colibri iMX7 | Kernel | Low |
Description: Colibri iMX7 has two watchdog sources: the SoC and the PMIC. BSP 5 uses the PMIC watchdog as "/dev/colibri-watchdog", which in turn is the one used by TorizonCore. It turns out that the watchdog firmware for the PMIC on BSP 5 is not as featureful as required to ensure the "shutdown" properly works. |
| 5.7.0 LTS release. Learn more on https://www.toradex.com/news/torizon-core-release-5-7-0-quarterly-release |
| TOR-2398 | Fixed | Chromium container fails to start in the evaluation containers on modules without GPU | Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7 | 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. |
| 5.7.0-devel-202205 monthly pre-release |
| TOR-2255 | New Feature | As a developer, I want to release a Cog container for GPU-less SoMs | Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7 | Debian Base Containers | |
Description: When we integrated Cog in our kiosk-mode-browser, a bug prevented it from working on GPU-less SoMs (Colibri iMX6ULL and Colibri iMX7).
This has been fixed and it is possible to run Cog on GPU-less SoMs. Learn more on Running Cog |
| 5.6.0-devel-202202 monthly pre-release |
| TOR-2058 | New Feature | As a developer, I want to stop providing experimental support for NAND-based modules in TorizonCore | Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7 | Open Embedded | |
Description: While Toradex has never supported raw NAND-based SoMs (the lower-end versions of Colibri iMX6ULL and Colibri iMX7 with 256/512MB of RAM), those machines were available in meta-toradex-torizon as experimental.
As we don't plan to maintain them in the future, we are dropping the experimental support to indicate that to customers that may be doing their own experimentation with a raw NAND-based SoM and TorizonCore. Workaround: If you plan to run TorizonCore on a raw NAND device in the future, you will have to maintain your own fork of TorizonCore, either in-house or through our partners. |

It seems that Chromium currently does not render properly when Weston is using Pixman renderer. Workaround: Use Weston with Mesa software OpenGL (rebuild the Debian Weston base container and drop the `--use-pixman` flag in entry.sh). |
