How to set a splash image during boot on Torizon OS for i.MX7

Technical Support

You can obtain the Torizon OS base image in several ways:

Method 1: Download from Toradex Downloads (Recommended)

The Easy Installer image tarball can be obtained from the Toradex Download Links page (1) (2).

For your Colibri iMX7D, look for the appropriate Torizon OS 7.4.0 image file that matches your hardware.

Method 2: Use TorizonCore Builder to Download Automatically

Instead of manually downloading, you can use the images download command to automatically get the compatible image (2):

$ torizoncore-builder images download --remote-host <board-ip-address> --remote-username <board-ip-username> --remote-password <board-ip-password>

(2)

This command checks which Toradex SoM is connected, downloads the compatible latest quarterly release of a Torizon OS image without containers, and unpacks this image (2).

Method 3: Specify Remote Download in Configuration

You can also configure TorizonCore Builder to download the image automatically using the remote option in your tcbuild.yaml (3):

input:
  easy-installer:
    remote: https://artifactory.toradex.com/.../tezi-image.tar

(3)

Method 4: Use Toradex Feed (For Supported Versions)

For standard images, you can use the toradex-feed configuration (3):

input:
  easy-installer:
    toradex-feed:
      version: "7.4.0"
      release: "quarterly"
      machine: "colibri-imx7"
      distro: "torizon"
      variant: "torizon-docker"
      build-number: "28"

(3)

However, note that for Torizon OS 7, this method may not be fully supported yet, as mentioned in the community discussions (4).

Recommendation

For your setup, I recommend using Method 1 - manually downloading from the official Toradex download page, or Method 2 - using the images download command which will automatically detect your hardware and download the appropriate image.

The exact filename will depend on the specific build available, but it will follow the pattern: torizon-core-docker-colibri-imx7-Tezi_X.X.X+build.XX.tar
