Newer DTS for the IMX296 overlay on the Raspberry Pi CM4

Hello!

We are looking to test some changes made to the Raspberry Pi device tree overlay for the IMX296. When looking at the dtbo on our device it looks like it is built from an older version of the dts available at linux/arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/imx296-overlay.dts at stable_20231123 · raspberrypi/linux · GitHub.

There are some changes made this year that we would like to test (can be seen here in a more recent version of the dts linux/arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/imx296-overlay.dts at stable_20241008 · raspberrypi/linux · GitHub)

My question is: is there any way for us to see in the BalenaOS repos which version of the dts is used for which BalenaOS version? And ideally, when will newer changes be incorporated into which release? (To get an idea for the timeline.)

The device is a CM4, and running the base image for the Raspberry Pi CM4 IO Board with the latest BalenaOS that is available at time of writing (6.0.23).

Thanks!

Bart

Hello @bartvanarnhem thanks for your message!

Actually we do not have any place to see which version of the dts is used for which balenaOS version yet. What you can do if you would like to inspect this is to look through the git code and figure out from there.

Having said that, I think it’s a good idea that you add your ideas as a feature request here.

Thank you @mpous! I will add a feature request.
