Hello,
I have tried to evaluate the Verdin iMX8M on the Dahlia board. Unfortunately I tried running it first with a 24V power-supply. Afterwards I got hold of a 12V supplie and could start the board (meaning some of the LEDs on it lit up green). But now I get no picture on the monitor or any other reaction. The ethernet plug at least blinks, but I cannot reach the board.
Have I potentially bown the board with the 24V supply? It says 7-27V on the plug. Maybe just the HDMI-adapter is broken? How would I reach an empty controller via ethernet alone? Thanks in advance for your help.
Henning Gessner.
24Volts should not damage a Dahlia board. Could you try to connect debug Dahlia debug UART to you development machine and check it’s output. Could you also provide HW version of your Verdin module and Dahlia board?
Alex,
sorry for the late reply, I have taken over the issue from my colleague Henning since I’ve been working with Colibri modules for a bit now.
I can reproduce the problem with several power supplies, 12V and 24V. When pressing the ON button, some of the LEDs on the board flicker briefly and then die again (see video https://share.toradex.com/ngrvugpedoxzv21).
The output from the debug UART is as follows:
U-Boot SPL 2018.03-toradex_imx_v2018.03_4.14.78_1.0.0_ga-bringup+gc0ff506c39 (Dec 31 2019 - 15:51:20 +0000)

That’s all I get, then the output simply stops. When pressing the ON button again, I get the same output over again.
The module is a Verdin iMX8MM 2GB WB IT V1.0B, the Dahlia board is also V1.0B.
To me, this looks all like a hardware issue.
How do we proceed?
Hello the Carrier and SOM version you are using are one of our earlier adapter sample boards.
There have been quit some changes.
Try not to use the bower button but unplug and re plug the power.
Best regards,
Matthias
Hello Matthias,
after a complete power cycle, I could observe the boot process to EasyInstaller via the USB debug connection.
However, there was still no image signal via HDMI!
I could connect connect to EasyInstaller via VNC and started the install process for torizon with evaluation containers. The install screen showed, but the progress bar never moved past 0% and there was also no lifesign on the USB debug connection. So after about 45 minutes, I power cycled the board again. The easyinstaller was obviously erased, but no working system installed. It seems like I end up in a uboot recovery mode. Here is the output from the USB debug:

I then tried to reload easyinstaller as described here: Loading Toradex Easy Installer | Toradex Developer Center
The output recovery-windows.bat is as follows:

It stops like this, there is no final success indication like I’ve seen from the Colibri modules, so I don’t know whether the process is done or not. I have again waited for 45 minutes without a lifesign bevor trying a power cycle again. This then gets me the same boot sequence as above and I end up in uboot again.
Hello ,
like I said you have an old early adapter boards from the first generation and I think there is no support for Torizon on this.
you should get the final gen 2 module and board.
Best Regards,
Matthias Gohlke
Well, if that’s the solution, I’d be happy to exchange the board and module for a working one.
Kind regards,
Andreas
Hi @amueller
Could you check with your local Sales team to get the newest version of the iMX8MM module?
Thanks and best regards,
Jaski
