How to flash the iMX95 Verdin Development Board V1.1F

Harish-23 · January 12, 2026, 7:05am

Hi , I had recently bought the Verdin Development Board V1.1F with the Verdin IMX95 SOM from Toradex. I am trying to flash the kit using the easy installer and I am facing the following issue.

Hi, I’m the Toradex AI Assistant.

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

The error you’re encountering is a LIBUSB_ERROR_NO_DEVICE (-4) during the recovery process for your Verdin iMX95. This typically indicates a USB communication issue during the Easy Installer download process.

Troubleshooting Steps

1. Verify Recovery Mode Setup

Ensure your Verdin iMX95 is properly in recovery mode(1):

Power off the module completely
Set the recovery mode jumpers/switches correctly on your Development Board
Power on while maintaining recovery mode

2. USB Connection Issues

From your lsusb output, I can see the device is detected as ID 1fc9:015d NXP Semiconductors OO Blank 95, which indicates the module is in recovery mode. However, the USB communication is failing.

Try these steps:

Use a different USB cable (preferably a high-quality, shorter cable)
Try a different USB port on your computer
Ensure you’re using a USB 2.0 port rather than USB 3.0 if possible

3. Permission and System Issues

The error might be related to USB permissions or system configuration:

# Check if your user is in the dialout group
groups $USER

# If not in dialout group, add yourself:
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
# Then log out and log back in

4. Alternative Recovery Methods

If the standard recovery continues to fail, you can try the Universal Update Utility (uuu) approach as mentioned in the documentation(2). The uuu tool is designed specifically for i.MX-based modules recovery purposes(2).

5. Hardware Verification

Since you mentioned this is a recently purchased board:

Verify all connections are secure
Check that the Development Board power supply is adequate
Ensure no other processes are accessing the USB device

6. Recovery Mode Instructions

You might need to enter recovery mode following the specific instructions for your hardware(1). Check the Recovery Mode Instructions (1).

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, the problem might be related to the specific Easy Installer version or a hardware compatibility issue with your development setup.

Best regards, Toradex AI Assistant.

I had the same issue and for me it was because of the silicon revision. The 7.5.0-devel installer lacks support for the A1 silicon. V7.4.0+build.8 works on A1. Can you check which silicon you have?

ToradexAI · January 12, 2026, 9:13am

Silicon Revision Compatibility Issue

Excellent point! This is indeed a known compatibility issue with the i.MX95 silicon revisions. The error you’re experiencing is likely related to silicon revision compatibility between your hardware and the Easy Installer version.

Check Your Silicon Revision

To determine which silicon revision you have, you can check your Verdin iMX95 module revision(1):

V1.0A modules use A1 silicon revision(1)
V1.0B modules use B0 silicon revision(1)

Compatibility Matrix

According to the official documentation, here’s the compatibility for Torizon OS(1):

Module/Silicon Revision	Scarthgap (BSP 7)	Further major releases
V1.0A - A1	Supported Up to 7.4.0(1)	Not supported(1)
V1.0B - B0	Supported Starting from 7.5.0(1)	Supported(1)

Resolution

Based on the compatibility matrix(1):

If you have A1 silicon (V1.0A):

Use Easy Installer version 7.4.0 or earlier(1)
Version 7.5.0-devel that you’re trying to use is not supported for A1 silicon(1)

If you have B0 silicon (V1.0B):

Version 7.5.0-devel should work
If it doesn’t, there might be another issue

Next Steps

Identify your module revision by checking the physical label on your Verdin iMX95
Download the appropriate Easy Installer version based on your silicon revision
Use version 7.4.0+build.8 if you have A1 silicon as suggested

This silicon transition approach provides a practical transition window between hardware and software versions, minimizing disruption as customers migrate to newer releases(1).

network connection using VNC. Use:

ip addr show

to display the Ethernet IP address(es) or use USB NCM at IP 192.168.11.1.

Check our documentation at:

I have connected the HDMI to the Display. What do we configure next and flash the kit.

doespaddel · January 12, 2026, 2:09pm

I can’t help with the Verdin Development Board. I’m running the Verdin IMX95 SOM on a Dahlia board. There, the video output is not on the HDMI connector, but on the (secondary) HDMI provided by the “DSI to HDMI” plugin board. It might be possible that the display needs to be connected before booting. Since we are using the same SOM it is possible that the video out is on the DSI for you as well.

doespaddel · January 13, 2026, 8:38am

Hi @Harish-23 , I saw in another thread that you were able solve this problem. Would you mind marking the relevant tips as being the solution so others can reference to it? You can do so by clicking the check mark icon under each post. Thank you.

Harish-23 · January 13, 2026, 8:45am

Hi @doespaddel , Sure will do. Thank you for your input. I was able to use HDMI only with the DSI to HDMI Adapter. I flashed the BSP after this but currently facing the following issue. The log is recursive and continuous until I power off.

Did you face any issue like this .
Downloaded and using this for Easy installer since mine is Version 1.0A - Verdin-iMX95_ToradexEasyInstaller_7.4.0+build.8

The BSP I am flashing is – Verdin-iMX95_Reference-Multimedia-Image-Tezi_7.4.0+build.10.tar

doespaddel · January 13, 2026, 11:05am

No, sorry, I never faced this specific issue.
Currently, I have the same image installed, and it works for me (same SoM, also silicon revision A1, but on a Dahlia carrier board). So, the issue might be carrier board related.

I’m not sure what USB SDP refers to. I know that abbreviation as “standard downstream port” in the context of usb power delivery, but I don’t understand why the U-Boot loader should want to boot from it. Do you have anything connected to USB or an sdcard inserted?

For reference, this is what a normal boot process looks for me:

Thank you for your input. Will check on this.

Also are you building the kernel-source in local and replacing the Image.gz ,dtb and modules? Can you please let me know.

doespaddel · January 14, 2026, 8:57am

No, I’ve not touched the kernel itself.
