Hello,
my procedure for flashing a Linux image was the following on an iMX7D on Viola Board:
- Download Easy Installer and extract onto micro SD card
- Insert Sd card in the Viola Board and run the mmc-bootcmd to boot the Easy installer
- Then copy the desired image onto a USB stick, insert it and flash with the previously booted Easy installer
Now I basically want to do the same on an iMX8DX on the same Viola Board. When I first received the module there was no Easy Installer per default, but the procedure that I described above still worked and I was able to start the Easy Installer and to flash a Torizon-Image.
But now (with new U-Boot and Linux flashed) the Easy Installer can´t be started from Sd card anymore (no changes to the card).
The following error appears:

So it seems that a wrong board name is used, because the board name that was set in u-boot is “colibri-imx8x” but that does not get checked in the script. If I just change the name to “colibri-imx8qxp” then I get the following error:
Colibri iMX8X # setenv board colibri-imx8qxp

So there seems to be an incompatibility with u-boot and the Easy installer… Does someone have an idea how i can start the Easy installer again?
Additional info:
Booting from the internal Flash or using a Yocto-build on Sd-card still works as expected.
When I change the address so that the itb file can be loaded (to avoid the restricted memory) then I get:
Colibri iMX8X # env set bootcmd_tezi 'load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${distro_bootpart} ${kernel_addr_r} ${tezi_image}'
