The Toradex Easy Installer is Toradex's recommended option for flashing images onto their modules. It can be downloaded from the [[ https://developer.toradex.com/software/toradex-easy-installer#os-and-demo-images | Toradex Wiki ]]. | The Toradex Easy Installer is Toradex's recommended option for flashing images onto their modules. The method described below loads the installer into RAM, boots from there and allows to flash a new image. We were currently not able to boot from our current image into the Toradex Easy Installer sitting on a USB stick, see [[software:linux:toradex:Toradex Easy Installer on USB]]. |
| |
===== Booting into Toradex Easy Installer ===== | |
| |
Download the Toradex Easy Installer from the [[ https://developer.toradex.com/software/toradex-easy-installer#os-and-demo-images | Toradex Wiki ]] and extract the downloaded archive onto a SD Card or USB Stick. Insert the into the Board's SD Card slot or USB port and power it on. | ===== Getting Toradex Easy Installer ===== |
| You need the Colibri evaluation module, see [[embedded_systems:imx6:evm|Colibri Evaluation Board from Toradex]]. Follow instructions on [[https://developer.toradex.com/easy-installer/toradex-easy-installer/loading-toradex-easy-installer|Loading Toradex Easy Installer]] to get the installer and load it via USB OTG into the RAM. First, you have to enter recovery mode, see //Using a command in the bootloader//. If there is no longer any bootloader on the board, follow instructions under //Using hardware mechanism//. Next, load the installer with the instruction given further down on the same website unter //Load Toradex Easy Installer through the USB OTG interface//. It will now automatically boot into the Toradex Easy Installer. |
| |
Interrupt the boot process (hit any key) to boot into [[ .:uboot | uboot]]. Now run ''run bootcmd_mmc1'' to boot from the SD Card or ''run bootcmd_usb0'' to boot from USB. | |
| |
Note that while Toradex recommends using the ''run_distro_bootcmd'' this will boot from the modules internal flash if a bootable image is present. | |
