Torizon OS Issue Tracker

Description: TorizonCore lacks some Debian packages that would allow you to use VPU-enabled GStreamer pipelines for Verdin iMX8M Mini and Verdin iMX8M Plus, that use the Hantro VPU. In this task, we investigate which NXP packages we miss and list what Debian packages must be created by Toradex to support it.

Note that Apalis/Colibri iMX6 already have upstream support for VPU acceleration, and Apalis iMX8, Apalis iMX8X and Colibri iMX8X are also supported downstream, the latter with instructions provided on How to use GStreamer on TorizonCore.

Workaround: While it isn't a trivial thing to do, you could start from our instructions for i.MX 8 and add/build the missing NXP packages directly in a Dockerfile.

Description: When the device boots or reboots, sometimes the GUI is not brought up, and when inspecting the Weston container logs, the error "seatd returns 00:00:00.140 [ERROR] [seatd/seat.c:281] Could not make device fd drm master: Permission denied" is present.

Update: this is fixed on the Debian Containers for Torizon, and all TorizonCore 6 releases, including the 6.3.0, are not affected anymore by this bug. You must just use the "weston" or the ""touch-calibrator" Debian Containers for Torizon with version 3.1.1 or newer. Learn more about container tags and TorizonCore on TorizonCore Containers Tags and Versioning.

Workaround: Use the command "sudo systemctl edit --full docker-compose.service" and change the line with the "After" key from "After=docker.service" to "After=docker.service plymouth-quit.service".

This will increase the time to start the graphical application by a few seconds.

Update: the public workaround is not required anymore.You must just use the "weston" or the ""touch-calibrator" Debian Containers for Torizon with version 3.1.1 or newer. Learn more about container tags and TorizonCore on TorizonCore Containers Tags and Versioning.

Description: NXP GPUs doesn't seem to support GLX, therefore this has been disabled in meta-freescale, as xwayland: Drop GLX for i.MX GPU. This broke Xwayland on the Debian Container for Torizon.

Workaround: Update to the latest version of the Debian Containers for Torizon. At the moment, only software support is provided. 2D graphics acceleration will be added as soon as Xwayland falls back to software rendering due to broken Glamor support on i.MX8-based SoMs is concluded.

Description: On TorizonCore 6, the splash screen is not being displayed on SoMs that use the downstream-based NXP BSP.

Description: The Verdin iMX8M Mini boot hangs with a Device Tree-related error.

Workaround: Use the latest nightly builds of TorizonCore 6, where it has already been fixed.

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.

Description: A section dedicated to this has been added to the article Working with Weston on TorizonCore, together with comments on our weston.ini files on our Weston Debian Docker image. In summary, it points to the official weston-drm documentation.

Description: When updating Verdin iMX8MM from TorizonCore 5.1.0 (quarterly release ) to TorizonCore 5.3.0 (nightly build), the boot fails with a "device tree not found" error.

Description: Update Debian packages to the latest NXP BSP release (L5.4.70_2.3.2).

Description: TorizonCore reboots indefinitely if the docker service fails. This should only happen if the system is executing an update.

Description: Update Docker from 19.03.12-ce to 19.03.14-ce and Podman to 2.2.1.

Description: OpenCV package updated to version 4.4.0

Description: 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 in meta-toradex-torizon.

Description: The device trees for Verdin are missing in the device-trees repository.

Description: Update gstreamer-imx package to match the NXP 5.4 based release.

Description: WiFi doesn't work on iMX8 based modules

Description: Error in the comment about how to accept EULA required to run imx8 vivante graphic drivers.

Description: Error when trying to install qt5-default: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1', which is also in package libgl1:arm64 1.1.0-1.

Description: Add SHT3x sensor support on i.MX 8 series modules

Description: Enable U-Boot devicetree overlays support on Verdin modules

Description: Support for Verdin iMX8M Mini

Description: Xwayland is being started with Glamor disabled, which leads it to fallback to software rendering without 2D graphics acceleration.

This is being fixed in the meta-freescale layer, in the issue xwayland: glamor support broken on iMX8, and once fixed we will leverage it to reintroduce graphics acceleration.
