I use terraterm on my host to communicate with my Apalis board. Each time before i communicate, i will set baudrate to 115200. Did you try setting your baudrate?

Hello @Mohar ,

Is your module running the Toradex Easy installer? If not, you would have download it from here.

After your modules boots into the installer, it will detect your USB and the image in it.

Hi @Mohar ,

can you see any output on your 10" screen?

Furthermore could you please state your full setup? Which version of the module, the carrier board, and software are you using on your side?

Best Regards
Kevin

Hi @Mohar ,

thanks for clarifiying.

As @saijanani.tx asked before, is your module running Toradex Easy Installer, when trying to flash the image onto the module? Or did you already successfully flash the image onto the module?

I did not quite get that out of your answers.

Hi Kevin, toradex easy installer is working fine. Booting is working fine. Getting the boot logs in putty. When The module finished up with booting, I am not getting any GUI anywhere. No gui in hdmi output or in lvds output. Easy installer has nothing to do with the qt GUI. Now its just about getting qt GUI. Do I need to change the dtb files for lvds 10" display. What are configuration settings I need to do? Do you have dtb configured files for lvds display ? any github source links for dtb configuration in case of imx8 quadmax ixora?
Thanks.

Hi @Mohar,

thanks for the answer.

Since booting is working now, I’ll close this ticket and continue on the other one you opened.
