I choose 5.0.0 BSP version
In “local.conf” I set:
MACHINE ?= “colibri-imx6”
and add:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = “python3”
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python3-pyserial"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python3-pip"
bitbake core-image-minimal
First problem:
The bitbake generate Symbolic links to TAR files.
These symbolic links are not handled correctly by Easy installer.
Report, that it does not know these “tar” files.
I manually delete links and rename tar files as defined in json file:“image-core-image-minimal.json”
After renaming the files, the “Easy installer” correctly recognized the files and also uploaded them and on the end reported that I can reboot the module.
The second problem:
After reboot the module become “Dead”.
I tried several times to bring the module to life with repeated the procedure shortening the recovery mode pad and also shortening the two round test points right next to the i.MX 6 SoC as described in:

Did you check if the recovery device is present: lsusb | grep -i free?
Jaski,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I can’t send you any logs because I don’t get any response from the module.
I have a serial cable connected to the Debug serial port on the Iris carrier board and I am listening on this port with the terminal on the PC. There is no printout here.
The Iris board is working because if I insert a good iMX6 module it is working.
Your hint about USB helped me. I managed to load Easy installer on module. Module now working.
I am also asking for advice on how to build an image properly.
Does the log I attached in the previous message helps or I send another one?
Thanks for help.
My goal is to load python3 and pip on the module Colibri iMX6 Solo 256MB.
Toradex suggests, that you have to make your own image.
I followed the steps described on the link: Build a Reference Image with Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded | Toradex Developer Center.
I work with Ubunu 20.04.2 LTS.
I choose 5.0.0 BSP version.
In “local.conf” I set:

and add:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python3-pip"
I run bitbake core-image-minimal.
Bitbake successfully created files in /deploy/images/coliri-imx6.
The problem is that same created files are not recognizable by Easy Installer.
These files are “link files”. Look attched picture with
