Hello!
Thank you for reaching out with your questions. Let’s address them one by one:
-
DNS Option for Custom Image Server: You are correct that the DNS option under “Custom Image Server without Local Media” is optional. It is used to redirect the default Toradex image server URL to your local server using DNS. If your network setup allows direct access to your server via IP, you can skip this step.
-
Nginx Setup Issue: The error message you encountered indicates that the symbolic link already exists, which is normal if you have previously set up nginx. Ensure that the symbolic link
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/defaultcorrectly points to/etc/nginx/sites-available/default. If nginx is running and your image files are correctly placed in/var/www/html, your setup should be correct. -
Troubleshooting Image Access:
- Ensure your board is on the same network as your server and can reach it via HTTP. Test this by accessing the server from another device on the network.
- Verify that the
image_list.jsonfile is correctly formatted and accessible at the expected URL. - Check the Toradex Easy Installer logs for any error messages that might indicate network or configuration issues.
-
Automating Image Updates: To automate updates, you can use the autoinstall feature of the Toradex Easy Installer by setting
autoinstall: truein yourimage.json. This will allow the board to automatically install the image upon detection. For more advanced update management, consider using Torizon OTA capabilities, which facilitate remote updates and management of devices in the field.
I hope this helps you get your setup working smoothly. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Toradex AI Assistant
