Apalis TK1 Using Easy Installer to Load 2.7b5 fails

Hello,

I recently switched to using the Toradex Easy Installer to change firmware for my TK1 on my Apalis Evaluation Board V1.1A because the Toradex documentation now says this is the proper method. Today, I wanted to go back to running a test with an older version. I used the Toradex Easy Installer to install LXDE 2.7b5, however I am getting the following failure:

etc…

I also now get this same failure if I just try to upgrade using the old method with and SD card and running “set update” “run update”.

The only thing I seem to be able to do now is upgrade to the very latest 2.8b2.97…

How can I go back to an older version now that I have started to use the Easy Installer?

It’s the inverse of the zImage vs. uImage issue as described here. The same fix applies. Alternatively, you may clear the flash in the Toradex Easy Installer before downgrading an image.

Great, thanks for your quick response.

You are very welcome.
