Part Number: TDA4VM


Hello,

Currently in TI Linux SDK for TDA4x v08_06_00_11 has busybox version v1.31.1

Due to security vulnerability, we are planning to upgrade the busybox version to latest version. So I have below queries on it -

1 - TI has any plan to upgrade the tinyfilesystem with latest busybox in  the upcoming SW release

2 - If no, can you provide any guidance to do the same at my end. Any steps to create current version of tinyfilesystem also would be helpful to upgrade.

Regards

Gajanan

    The busybox will be upgraded in the next SDK 9.0 in July 2023 timeframe. This upgrade will come as part of the migration from dunfell to kirkstone.

    busybox is part of the oe-core, and it is getting picked up as part of the dunfell branch from this repository.

    You may attempt to upgrade it by looking into later versions of the Yocto such as kirkstone or master and backport to dunfell.

    I'm not sure how involved this may be as we have not attempted this exact operation.
