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]]. |

| ===== Preparation ===== | |
| |
| If you only have the Tezi.tar file, you have to unpack it before it is recognized by the easy installer. | ===== Getting Toradex Easy Installer ===== |
| Then copy the extracted contents to the SD card/USB stick/.... | 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. |

| ===== Booting into Toradex Easy Installer ===== | |
| | |
| Download the Toradex Easy Installer from the [[ https://developer.toradex.com/software/toradex-easy-installer#download-toradex-easy-installer | Toradex Wiki ]] and extract the downloaded archive onto a SD Card or USB Stick (FAT32). Insert the into the Board's SD Card slot or USB port and power it on. | |
| | |
| Interrupt the boot process (hit any key) to boot into 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. | |
| | |
| If you get an error along the lines of ''bootcmd_usb0 no found'' chances are that the board runs an older version of uboot that does not come with distroboot. In that case the bootloader can be updated by flashing a new toradex image [[ https://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/flashing-linux-on-imx6-modules | as described here ]]. | |
| | |
| Note that if Toradex's ''update.sh'' script fails with ''not space left on device'', you can try increasing the | |
| ''MIN_PARTITION_FREE_SIZE'' in ''update.sh'' to work around the issue. | |
