Reading Config block failed

I have an iMX8QM I tried to flash a custom Yocto image (.tar) with ToradexEasyInstaller.
I enter the recovery mode well by hardware and the easy installer files start to load and writing my image.
It crashed in the end since ther was not a imx-boot file in my .tar.

I restarted the board in recovery mode and ToradexEasyInstaller does not start beacuse of this error: Reading Config Block failed.
I attached a picture of the issue.
How can I recover my SOM?

Let me know.

Dear @Merlin ,

if you click on the OK button another window should appear where you can manually type in the information of the board as seen on the modules sticker.

After successfully typing the data in the window, the module should start up normally and show Toradex Easy Installer to you.

Let me know if that is the case.

Dear @Merlin,

this could be an artifact of using an older version of Toradex Easy Installer.

We recommend downloading the latest version. If you follow the link below, you will see a section marked as “Beta Release” holding files for version 2.0b7 of Toradex Easy Installer.

Toradex Easy Installer Releases

Let me know if you had success.

Best Regards

Dear @Merlin,

Thank you for letting me know.

Did you install Toradex Easy Installer onto your module or are you booting from an SD-Card?
In the meantime you could try to reset your environment by typing the command “env default -a”.
