I can see two issues here: the TFTP server setup and the factory reset question. Let me address both.

TFTP Boot Issue

The TFTP loading is timing out with “T T T T T T” which indicates the server is reachable but not serving the expected file. For TorizonCore Builder’s serve command, you need to ensure:

  1. Set the correct server IP in U-Boot:
setenv serverip 192.168.55.43
saveenv

  1. Verify TorizonCore Builder is serving properly:
    Make sure you’re running the serve command correctly and that it’s serving the right files for TEZI boot.

  2. Check the boot script location:
    Your system is looking for boot-tezi.scr but TorizonCore Builder might serve different files. The TFTP timeout suggests the file isn’t available at the expected path.

Factory Reset Options

Yes, there are several ways to reset your Verdin iMX8MP to factory settings:

Option 1: Recovery Mode (Recommended)

You can enter recovery mode to reload the Toradex Easy Installer (1). This involves:

  1. Power off your module
  2. Enter recovery mode following the specific steps for your hardware setup
  3. Load the Easy Installer via USB OTG interface
  4. Use the Easy Installer to flash a fresh image

Option 2: U-Boot Environment Reset

Reset the U-Boot environment to defaults (which we discussed earlier):

env default -a
saveenv

(2)

Option 3: Complete Reflash

If you have access to the Toradex Easy Installer, you can completely wipe and reinstall the system. The Easy Installer allows you to install OS images either from online sources or from external media like SD cards (3).

Recommended Next Steps

Given your current situation, I recommend:

  1. Try recovery mode to load a fresh TEZI instance
  2. Use a properly prepared SD card with TEZI 7.5.0 (recreate it if the current one has partition issues)
  3. If network boot is essential, verify that your TorizonCore Builder serve command is correctly configured for TEZI boot files

The recovery mode approach will give you a clean slate to work with, bypassing any current configuration issues.
