Failed OS installation using SDcard - Wrong image format for "source" command

Good day Toradex!

We are now having an issue where we are unable to install OS if we are using SDcard. The situation is per described below.

  1. First, we consolidated our custom image with TEZI into one USB stick. Then we run the command run distro_bootcmd, the installation was successful.
  2. We have prepared a bundle of one Application and OS, and both files is packed into .ipk format.
  3. Then, these .ipk files will be extracted using opkg and OS.ipk is extracted to SDcard. (the content inside OS.ipk and custom image used in step 1 is exactly the same).
  4. The unit is rebooted and uboot is up, however the uboot somehow unable to find any OS image in the SDcard.

The SDcard is in ext4 format and it is in a good health.

We are using Toradex Apalis iMX6 Quad 2GB IT V1.1D board.

The error message:

Hi @Charlie,

From Toradex we only support Toradex Easy Installer for flashing. Kindly check below link. To use Toradex Easy installer one needs to generate compatible image using Yocto .
