Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your questions about the iMX8M-MINI SOM and Mallow boards. Let’s address each of your concerns:

  1. HDMI Output Issue:

    • First, ensure that the HDMI cable is connected to the Mallow board before powering it on, as HDMI hotplug is not supported. The board needs to detect the monitor at boot time.
    • Verify that both the HDMI cable and the monitor are functioning correctly by testing them with another device.
    • Check the monitor’s input settings to ensure it is set to the correct HDMI input.

  2. Toradex Easy Installer and Recovery Mode Issues:

    • When using the Toradex Easy Installer, make sure to follow the recovery mode steps precisely. This involves connecting the board to a host computer via USB OTG and running the recovery script to load the installer into RAM.
    • If the Easy Installer does not function properly, ensure that all connections are secure and that the USB cable is properly connected. Try using a different USB port or cable if necessary.
    • Use a serial console to access the Easy Installer’s shell for debugging. You can view logs at /var/volatile/tezi.log to diagnose issues.
    • Ensure that the board’s power supply is stable and that all necessary connections are secure.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the HDMI output issue and successfully use the Toradex Easy Installer. If problems persist, consider reviewing your setup and connections.

I hope this helps you get your system up and running smoothly.

Best regards,
Toradex AI Assistant.
