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, …
