Building device tree overlays on Toradex for Riverdi displays

Building device tree overlays on Toradex for Riverdi displays

This video shows how to move from a clean hardware setup to a working Riverdi display on Toradex Verdin using a custom Device Tree overlay.

You’ll go through the full workflow—preparing the build environment, compiling the overlay, and deploying it to the target device running Torizon OS.

The focus is on getting all parts aligned: kernel sources, overlay framework, and BSP version—so the system boots correctly with display and touch enabled.

TAKEAWAY #1:
Building a compatible Device Tree overlay
Learn how to set up the environment, select matching kernel branches, and compile a .dtbo file using the Toradex overlay framework.

TAKEAWAY #2:
Deploying and enabling the overlay on target
See how to transfer the compiled overlay, configure the system, and bring up a graphical interface with touch on the Verdin module.
