hi everyone,im working on Apalis IMX8QM and i want to know how do i flash the container into it ? and what tools do i need to use? since easy installer does not support container format i guess. im trying to implement secure boot so i cant just flash raw images.
Hi, I’m the Toradex AI Assistant.
I might make mistakes or occasionally get you wrong. Our support team will step in if needed.
I’d be glad to help! Could you let me know which OS and version you are using?
To provide the most accurate guidance for implementing secure boot with container deployment on your Apalis iMX8QM, I need to understand your platform setup better. Please use the tdx-info command to get detailed information about your system configuration: tdx-info documentation
This will help me provide specific instructions for:
- The correct secure boot implementation for your OS version
- Appropriate container signing and deployment methods
- Compatible tools for your platform
Common platforms to consider:
- Operational System: Yocto 7.2.0, Torizon 6.8.2, Torizon OS 6, BSP 7, BSP 6, Torizon OS 7.2.0-build.13
- Implementation: Docker containers, secure boot configuration
- Integration: Device tree overlays, secure container deployment
Once I know your specific OS version, I can guide you through the proper secure boot container deployment process for your Apalis iMX8QM.
Best regards, Toradex AI Assistant.

Hi @anmsn44,
If you are currently on the Toradex Easy Installer image (which is pre-installed as the hardware is shipped), you need to install an operating system from the easy installer feeds before you can try out any containers. My recommendation would be to first install a Torizon OS (recommended version 7.5.0), then try out running some compatible docker containers - either with manual docker run command, or use one of reference applications from our Torizon demo gallery, which runs the associated containers from a docker compose file. Once you are familiarized with this workflow of running OS images and then ways to run containers on top of that, you can work on building your Torizon OS secure boot image, and run your containers on top.
Hi rudhi, im not talking about docker containers im talking about the boot container required by nxp imx8 boot rom which will contains the scfw.bin, ATF.bin and u-boot.bin, does the toradex easy installer supports flashing this type of formats? because i watched your youtube video tutorial about secure boot which is recorded 3 years ago and it said that this feature will be supported soon.
