ERROR :: Error trying to connect to .local : undefined

mut · October 13, 2025, 5:33pm

Hello everyone,

I tried following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YykIftUiMGU to setup my IDE.

But I run into the error in the title of this thread.

Here is the developer log:

Hi, I’m the Toradex AI Assistant.

I might make mistakes or occasionally get you wrong. Our support team will step in if needed.

Troubleshooting Torizon IDE Extension Connection Error

Based on your developer log, you’re encountering a connection error when trying to connect to your Torizon device. The error message “Error trying to connect to .local : undefined” indicates an issue with the device discovery process.

Common Troubleshooting Steps

Check Network Connectivity

First, verify basic network connectivity between your development machine and the Torizon device (1):

$ ping -W 1 -c 1 <ip-address>

(1)

If you receive “ping: socket: Operation not permitted”, you may need to set the capability (1):

$ sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /bin/ping

(1)

Port Requirements

The Torizon IDE Extension requires specific ports to be accessible between your machine and the development board (1):

22 (Dev Board SSH Connection)
2375 (Docker API)
5002 (Local Docker Registry)
2222 (Container SSH Connection)

(1)

Host IP Configuration Issue

Your log shows a potential IP address configuration problem. If the extension is not getting the correct IP address of the host, you can manually configure it using the torizon.overwriteHostIp setting (1), (2).

Set this in your VS Code global settings to the correct IP address from the main interface that your host is using (2).

Additional Debugging

To get more detailed information about the issue, you can access the VS Code Developer Tools (1):

Open the VS Code command palette
Select Developer: Toggle Developer Tools
Click on the Console tab and check for additional error messages and stack traces

This should provide more insight into the root cause of the connection failure (1).

Extension Version Consideration

Your log shows you’re using Torizon IDE Extension version 3.1.1, while version 3.1.144 is available. Consider updating to the latest version, as newer versions often include bug fixes for connection issues.

Best regards, Toradex AI Assistant.

Greetings @mut,

Looking at the logs, it appears the extension itself was able to initialize without major issue.

The connection error seems to be referring to the Toradex device you have added to the extension. Could you provide more information about this device. What version of Torizon OS is this device running?

Also, have you tried to remove and re-add the device? Does the issue repeat if you do that?

Best Regards,
Jeremias

mut · October 14, 2025, 11:33am

Hi Jeremias,

The device is a Verdin AM62 on the Verdin Development board. I used Toradex Easy Installer to flash a Toradex Reference Multimedia Image.

The “pretty name” is TDX Wayland with XWayland 7.3.0+build.8 (scarthgap).

I cannot remove the device from the IDE Extension because I never could add it in the first place.

Best Regards,

Matthias

jeremias.tx · October 14, 2025, 4:29pm

I used Toradex Easy Installer to flash a Toradex Reference Multimedia Image.

Oh well that’s the issue right there then. The Visual Code IDE extension only explicitly works when the device is running Torizon OS as stated here: Connect a Target Device | Toradex Developer Center

It is not made to work with our reference images (multimedia or minimal).

If you want to use this VSCode extension please reinstall the device with Torizon OS.

Best Regards,
Jeremias

mut · October 16, 2025, 2:39pm

Ok, I thought the toradex reference images were torizon OS images.

Now it works.

jeremias.tx · October 16, 2025, 3:19pm

Glad I was able to help clarify.

Best Regards,
Jeremias
