This video is an example of how to use the Flutter custom-devices feature with a Texas Instruments AM62XX evaluation board (https://www.ti.com/tool/SK-AM62) that has flutter-pi installed using the meta-flutter Yocto layer.

The custom device configuration should work out of the box if flutter-pi was installed using the regular installation instructions. Connecting to an embedded device using the custom devices feature of the Flutter SDK will allow you to run and debug your Flutter application running on your embedded hardware from within the comfort of your IDE.

Unfortunately, it hasn't worked for me... After successfully adding my R Pi to custom devices in the master channel as advised VS code doesn't show it. Neither command line flutter devices... I have tried to troubleshoot it but without any luck so far :(

Are they any updated steps to set up the meta-flutter layer with the TI AM62x SDK? Everything I have found is dated and does not seem to work correctly. I have spent time trying to figure it out, but I just haven't been able to
