Colibri IMX8X device connection fails on Torizon

[shivaOD]

Hello
I am trying to connect to my Colibri IMX8X device through Visual Studio Code and Torizon IDE extension, but the username and password doesn’t work and cannot connect to the device.
I get the following error:
trying to connect to colibri-imx8x-number.local: undefined OR Invalid username.

I use the username: torizon and the password I chose the first time I logged in.
Please let me know how to fix this issue to be able to continue.

Thanks

It seems like you are encountering an issue with connecting to your Colibri iMX8X device using the Torizon IDE Extension in Visual Studio Code. Here are a few steps you can follow to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Verify Username and Password:

   • Ensure that you are using the correct username, which should be torizon.
   • Double-check the password you set the first time you logged in. If you are unsure, you might need to reset the password.

2. Check Device IP Address:

   • Make sure that the IP address of your Colibri iMX8X device is correctly set in the settings.json file under the torizon_ip property.
   • If the device is not detected automatically, you can manually add the device by clicking the + icon and inputting the device’s IP address.

3. Engineering Mode:

   • Ensure that your device is in Engineering Mode (Development Mode). This mode enables certain debugging and deployment features that are necessary for the connection.

4. Default Device Configuration:

   • Ensure that your Colibri iMX8X device is set as the default device in the Torizon IDE Extension. This can be done by setting the device as default when creating a new project or opening one from a different machine.

5. Check settings.json Configuration:

   • Verify that the settings.json file in the .vscode folder of your workspace has the correct values for the following properties:
     • torizon_login: Should be torizon.
     • torizon_psswd: Should be the password you set.
     • torizon_ip: Should be the IP address of your device.
     • torizon_ssh_port: Should be the SSH port (default is usually 22).

6. Network Configuration:

   • Ensure that your development machine and the Colibri iMX8X device are on the same network and can communicate with each other.

If you have verified all the above steps and are still facing issues, you might want to try resetting the device to factory settings and reconfiguring it. Additionally, you can refer to the Torizon documentation or reach out to Toradex support for further assistance.

Problems setting up VS Code IDE Extension V2

Hi, I’m moving some projects from your VS Code IDE V1 to V2 and have hit a problem. I’m following your guide here. I found a number of inconsistencies between your guide and what I experienced, but I continued anyway in the hope that all would go OK, but unfortunately that did not happen. When trying to start the Docker Engine, I issued the command service docker start (as specified in the guide) but this resulted in “Docker must be run as root”. I re-issued it as sudo service docker start, …

Login details for Torizon image

Dear sir, I have successfully downloaded the torizon image with toradex easy installer. Now it is asking for login details. As referred to some of the questions asked by other users who faced the same problem on toradex community, I entered login as ‘root’ and left the password blank and entered. It shows login incorrect error. My window appears as TorizonCore 4.0.0-dev-20191211+build.36 colibri-imx6-10518868 tty1 Colibri-imx6-10518868 login: Please provide me with the login details. Thank…

settings.json file in the .vscode folder of your workspace

Hello

I don’t have settings.json file in the .vscode folder of my workspace.
I cannot set the device as default because the connection is not made.

Hi, @shivaOD !

I tested it, and it worked. I would recommend flashing the image again and rewriting the password, only to be sure that the password is correct.

In order to do it, you need to put the module in Recovery Mode and Load Toradex Easy Installer.

Feel free to ask if you have any doubts or issues.

Best regards.
