Hello,
To upload a new image to your Verdin SoM on a headless custom carrier board using a USB-connected Windows host, you can use the Toradex Easy Installer (Tezi) through the USB OTG interface. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:
-
Enter Recovery Mode:
- Connect your Verdin SoM to your Windows host using a USB cable, ensuring you use the USB OTG port on your carrier board.
- Put the SoM into recovery mode. This usually involves pressing a specific button or shorting a pin on the carrier board while powering on the device. Please refer to your carrier board’s documentation for precise instructions.
-
Download and Prepare Tezi:
- Download the Toradex Easy Installer package onto your Windows host.
- Unzip the package to a convenient location on your computer.
-
Load Tezi via USB OTG:
- Navigate to the directory where you unzipped the Tezi package.
- Use the provided script to load Tezi onto the SoM. This script will communicate with the SoM over the USB connection to load the installer into RAM.
- If you encounter any issues, ensure the SoM is correctly in recovery mode and try again.
-
Install the New Image:
- Once Tezi is loaded, it will run in RAM, allowing you to install a new image. You can use a network connection to access the Tezi interface remotely if needed.
This method allows you to manage your Verdin SoM without needing HDMI output or a keyboard, making it ideal for headless setups. I hope this helps you with your setup!
