I would like to know how to install Torizon on the i.MX95 Verdin EVK.
My goal is to build and verify Torizon OS (including BSP and related components) on the i.MX95 Verdin EVK.
For this, I need information on:
How to obtain Torizon OS (or how to build it)
How to flash it onto the i.MX95 Verdin EVK
I searched on Toradex’s official website but couldn’t find the relevant instructions.
Could you please guide me on this?
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 i.MX95 Verdin EVK has community support with limited coverage for TorizonOS, as it’s a partnership product between NXP and Toradex (1). The EVK is designed primarily for evaluation and integration of the i.MX95 before general availability (1).
According to the official support documentation, the i.MX95 Verdin EVK has Community Support - Limited for TorizonOS, compared to full support available for production Toradex System-on-Modules (1).
The support for TorizonOS depends on your EVK’s silicon revision (2):
The documentation indicates that the i.MX95 Verdin EVK uses uuu only as the flashing method, unlike production Toradex modules that support the Toradex Easy Installer (1).
For detailed installation and setup instructions, you should refer to the i.MX 95 Verdin EVK Getting Started guide (1).
The documentation suggests that for full TorizonOS support and easier development workflow, you should consider migrating to production Verdin iMX95 System-on-Modules, which offer:
Since the i.MX95 Verdin EVK has limited community support for TorizonOS, you may need to work with NXP’s BSP alongside Toradex resources for complete functionality.
Best regards, Toradex AI Assistant.

I understand the flashing method.
Please tell me how to obtain Torizon OS or how to build it from the source code.
For the i.MX95 Verdin EVK, you have two main options:
You need a Linux host with prerequisites for building a Yocto/OpenEmbedded image (2).
Set up the build environment:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Configure Git:
$ git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
For the latest Torizon OS release (7.x.y branch):
$ repo init -u git://git.toradex.com/toradex-manifest.git -b scarthgap-7.x.y -m torizon/default.xml
Alternatively, for a specific version (example for 7.0.0):
repo init -u git://git.toradex.com/toradex-manifest.git -b refs/tags/7.0.0 -m torizon/default.xml
$ repo sync --no-clone-bundle
The supported machine for i.MX95 is verdin-imx95 (supported on 7.4.0 or newer Torizon OS releases) (2).
$ [MACHINE=verdin-imx95] source setup-environment [BUILDDIR]
To build the default Torizon OS image:
$ bitbake torizon-docker
The supported image targets are (2):
You can also build using Docker containers, which works independently of your host distribution:
$ docker run --rm -it --name=crops -v ~/yocto-workdir:/workdir --workdir=/workdir -e MACHINE=verdin-imx95 -e IMAGE=torizon-docker torizon/crops:scarthgap-7.x.y startup-tdx.sh

Are image files that can be flashed using uuu provided?
Based on the available documentation, I don’t have specific information about pre-built image files that are ready for uuu flashing for the i.MX95 Verdin EVK in the provided sources.
The documentation indicates that for most Toradex modules, images are provided in Toradex Easy Installer format (1). However, as mentioned in my previous response, the i.MX95 Verdin EVK specifically uses uuu only as the flashing method, which is different from production Toradex modules.
When you build Torizon OS from source using the Yocto Project, the build process creates various output formats. The standard Torizon OS build produces images that can be deployed through different methods (1):
For the i.MX95 Verdin EVK, I recommend:
Check the Getting Started Guide: The i.MX 95 Verdin EVK Getting Started guide should contain specific instructions for uuu flashing procedures and where to obtain compatible image files.
Build from Source: Use the Yocto build process I outlined in my previous response to generate images compatible with your EVK’s silicon revision.
Since the i.MX95 Verdin EVK has limited community support and uses a different flashing method than production modules, the specific uuu-compatible image files and flashing procedures would be detailed in the EVK-specific documentation rather than the general Torizon OS documentation.

Greetings @morita,
We have full instructions on how to build Torizon OS from source for the Verdin i.MX95 EVK here: meta-toradex-torizon/docs/README-nxp.md at scarthgap-7.x.y · torizon/meta-toradex-torizon · GitHub
This also includes instructions on how to flash the built software.
Best Regards,
Jeremias
Thank you for the information.
My i.MX95 Verdin EVK is based on A1 silicon.
Could you please confirm if there are any steps in the instructions at the link below that need to be adjusted for A1 silicon?
I just came across your post while trying to install Torizen myself. Do you really want to build Torizen yourself, or would it suffice to install pre-built images?
In case of the latter here is how it works:
Note: The Toradex documentation also mentions other possibilities to get the Easy Installer on the board. Note that neither the USB flash drive method nor the uuu method worked on my board. The only working option is the SD card method.
Hope this helps.
Could you please confirm if there are any steps in the instructions at the link below that need to be adjusted for A1 silicon?
It should work fine for the A1 silicon I believe, my Verdin i.MX95 EVK is A silicon as well and these instructions worked for me in the past.
There is also this pre-built image available in this download link here: https://artifacts.toradex.com/artifactory/legacy-oe-prod-frankfurt/i.MX95_EVKImage-Torizon_OS_7.0.0/torizon-docker-imx95-19x19-verdin-7.0.0-devel-20250826231920%2Bbuild.0.wic.zst
Though this was built a few months ago, so the software on it is not the absolute latest. If you want the latest then you should build it via Yocto.
There’s no download link for the Verdin i.MX95 EVK on that page, and Toradex Easy Installer is not officially supported on this hardware either. Please don’t spread this misinformation and confuse other users.
Best Regards,
Jeremias
@jeremias.tx
I’m pretty sure there is, maybe check again. I downloaded and installed it myself. There is a regular release version for the Verdin IMX95 (7.4.0+build.8 from 2025/10/03), and also a pre-release (7.5.0-devel-20251117+build.378 from 2025/11/17).
@jeremias.tx
Thank you for providing the information.
Both the pre-built image(https://artifacts.toradex.com/artifactory/legacy-oe-prod-frankfurt/i.MX95_EVKImage-Torizon_OS_7.0.0/torizon-docker-imx95-19x19-verdin-7.0.0-devel-20250826231920%2Bbuild.0.wic.zst) and the image built via Yocto(meta-toradex-torizon/docs/README-nxp.md at scarthgap-7.x.y · torizon/meta-toradex-torizon · GitHub) were able to boot the kernel successfully. I will CLOSE this topic.
The next step is to display images captured by the OS08A20 camera on a monitor connected via HDMI. I will continue asking about that here:
@morita Glad we were able to assist you.
@doespaddel You are looking at the image for the Verdin i.MX95 this is not the same as the Verdin i.MX95 EVK. These are separate products with their own software:
Best Regards,
Jeremias
