I’m trying to flash the Toradex Easy Installer on the IMX6ULL 512Mb via USB OTG, but I’m facing the issue that Windows doesn’t recognize the device. I follow these steps:
I interrupt the kernel boot process.
I run the command bmode usb.
I execute the recovery-windows.bat process from my host machine.
Subsequently, the latter step gives an error message that it can’t find the USB device. This is correct, as the device isn’t being initialized properly. I get the error message Device Descriptor Request Failed.
A few remarks:
I use a direct connection between my host machine and the evaluation board. There are no USB hubs in between.
I’m trying to flash from my host OS and am not using Virtual Machines.
I’m using version 5.7.3+build.17 of the Easy Installer (Compiled for the Colibri iMX6ULL).
I also attempted an alternative approach by booting the Easy Installer from an external flash drive. (instructions)
However, this resulted in the following logs:

Hello @kris_dg ,
Which version of the iMX6ULL are you using? 1.0A or 1.1A?
Have you tried to connect the iM6ULL to another computer to see if the behavior is the same?
Could you please send us the output of the iMX6ULL console after you run the recovery-windows.bat script?
I follow the same procedure as you, interrupting the boot procedure and sending the command,
Colibri iMX6ULL # bmode usb
resetting ...
And when I run the script I get this output:
