Hi, after setting the iMX7D in recovery mode, I installed the Toradex Easy Installer and it worked. Now I want to install the Linux LXDE Stable image via network. After installing I get the massage to turn off or reboot the system. I turned the system off and on again but it doesn’t boot. I only got a black screen. Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
thanks in advance
Which image did you try to install?
Do you have any output on debug UART?
You can put module to recovery mode and again run Toradex Easy Installer.
I installed Toradex Embedded Linux Demo with LXDE Stable 2.7 and Toradex Embedded Linux Demo with LXDE Stable 2.8b6.184.
After restart I only get 00 Hex on the debug UART.
I run the Toradex Easy Installer several times and it installs the image successfully but after restart it still doesn’t boot.
Are you getting something on debug UART when you run Toradex Easy Installer?
I get this:

.This is a Linux based installer for Toradex modules. Currently the
.installer does not have a serial console interface. You can use the
.Toradex Easy Installer through any of the available display interfaces
.using USB mouse/keyboard or via network using VNC. Use:
. # ip addr show eth0
.to display the Ethernet IP address or use USB RNDIS at IP 192.168.11.1.

One thing you may try is to completely clear the NAND and trying to re-flash everything afterwards. Unfortunately, this only works with the former Toradex Easy Installer version 1.8 and you will need to use the rawnand U-Boot variant e.g. as follows:
[user@host ~]$ unzip ~/Downloads/Colibri-iMX7_ToradexEasyInstaller_1.8-20181019.zip
[user@host ~]$ cd Colibri-iMX7_ToradexEasyInstaller_1.8-20181019/
[user@host Colibri-iMX7_ToradexEasyInstaller_1.8-20181019]$ mv u-boot.imx u-boot.imx-orig
[user@host Colibri-iMX7_ToradexEasyInstaller_1.8-20181019]$ cp u-boot.imx-rawnand u-boot.imx
[user@host Colibri-iMX7_ToradexEasyInstaller_1.8-20181019]$ ./recovery-linux.sh

Now on the U-Boot side you would need to CTRL+C twice and clear the NAND contents using the nand erase.chip command e.g. as follows:

The sdp 0 above should should continue transferring the Toradex Easy Installer via USB to the module’s RAM. Subsequently, you will need to re-enter the type, version and serial number information from the Colibri iMX7D module’s barcode sticker. And after installing an image again be it the Toradex Easy Installer itself or any BSP image it should all work again.
Have you tried to clear NAND as Marcel suggested?
