Based on the provided context, here are some general steps and considerations for using the Toradex Easy Installer (Tezi) to boot the Automotive Android OS on a Toradex Apalis iMX8QM board:

  1. Necessary Files:

    • You will need the bootloader, kernel, and system image files for the Automotive Android OS. These are typically provided by NXP or the Android distribution you are using.
    • Ensure that these files are compatible with the Apalis iMX8QM board.

  2. Configurations:

    • You may need to customize the boot scripts, such as boot.scr, to include any specific kernel parameters or configurations required by the Automotive Android OS.
    • If there are specific device tree modifications needed (e.g., enabling certain hardware features), you can use custom scripts as described in the context to modify the device tree dynamically.

  3. Steps to Start Booting Using Tezi:

    • Prepare the Toradex Easy Installer:

      • Download the Toradex Easy Installer image and unzip it to the root directory of an external media (USB stick or SD Card).
      • Rename the file boot-tezi.scr to boot.scr to ensure it is recognized by the U-Boot bootloader.

    • Load Tezi:

      • Put your Apalis iMX8QM board in recovery mode if it does not boot to Tezi by default.
      • Load the Toradex Easy Installer using either the USB OTG interface or from external media as described in the context.

    • Install the Android OS:

      • Once Tezi is loaded and the GUI is displayed, you can use it to install the Automotive Android OS image onto the board.
      • Follow any specific instructions provided by NXP or the Android distribution for installing the OS using Tezi.

    • Boot the Android OS:

      • After installation, ensure that the bootloader is configured to boot the newly installed Android OS.
      • You may need to adjust the boot.scr or other boot configuration files to ensure the system boots correctly.

For more detailed instructions or specific configurations, you may need to refer to additional documentation from NXP or the Android distribution you are using, as well as the Toradex Community for support.
