Hello Pankaj,

Thank you for reaching out. I understand the situation with your Apalis iMX6Q modules, and I’m here to help you restore them to a bootable state using the Toradex Easy Installer.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to assist you:

  1. Prepare for Recovery Mode:

    • Connect your Apalis iMX6Q module to your host PC using a USB cable. Ensure the module is powered off before starting the recovery process.
  2. Enter Recovery Mode:

    • To enter recovery mode, you typically need to use a specific method provided by the module’s documentation. This often involves using a software tool or a specific sequence of actions. Please refer to the module’s datasheet or hardware manual for detailed instructions on entering recovery mode without physical modifications.
  3. Use Toradex Easy Installer:

    • On your host PC, download and install the Toradex Easy Installer if you haven’t already.
    • Launch the Toradex Easy Installer. It should detect the module in recovery mode.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to select and flash a new image onto the module. You can choose from available images or provide a custom image if needed.
  4. Complete the Flashing Process:

    • Once the flashing process is complete, power cycle the module by turning it off and then on again.
    • The module should now boot with the newly flashed image.

By following these steps, you should be able to restore your Apalis iMX6Q modules to a bootable state. If you encounter any issues during this process, ensure that all connections are secure and that the correct procedures are followed as per the documentation.

I hope this helps you get your modules up and running again.
