I am currently working on a project where I need to install my custom image onto a Colibri device using a TFTP server. To achieve this, I am attempting to downgrade the Toradex Easy Installer to version 1.8. However, I have encountered a compatibility issue with the IMX6DL 512MB IT V1.1A variant.
When using the IMX6 Duallite 512MB IT V1.1Y (with Product ID 0017), there is no issue, but I am unable to use the IMX6DL 512MB IT V1.1A (with Product ID 0080) with Easy Installer v1.8.
My question is as follows: How can downgrade V1.1A to v1.8? Would modifying the image.json file for version 1.8 to include the Product ID “0080” resolve the issue and enable compatibility? If so, are there any potential risks associated with this modification? Would it be safe to proceed with this change, or could it lead to unforeseen problems?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out with your question. I understand you’re facing a compatibility issue with the Toradex Easy Installer version 1.8 on your Colibri iMX6DL 512MB IT V1.1A module. Modifying the image.json file to include the Product ID “0080” might help resolve this issue, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind.
Compatibility Risks: Adding a Product ID to the image.json file does not automatically ensure compatibility. The installer might not support specific hardware features or configurations of your module, which could lead to unexpected behavior.
Testing: It’s crucial to back up the original image.json file before making any changes. After modification, test the installer thoroughly in a controlled environment to ensure it functions correctly without causing system instability or data loss.
Documentation Review: Check any available documentation for the Toradex Easy Installer version you are using. This can provide insights into known issues or limitations that might affect your modification.
Alternative Solutions: If modifying the image.json file does not resolve the issue, consider using a different version of the Toradex Easy Installer that is compatible with your module, or explore other installation methods that might better suit your needs.
By carefully considering these factors and proceeding with caution, you can minimize risks and potentially achieve the desired compatibility with your Colibri iMX6DL 512MB IT V1.1A module.
Best regards,

I have modified the image.json file, and as a result, I am now able to install Toradex Easy Installer v1.8. However, after completing the installation, I encountered a pop-up message stating: “This script is meant to be run on an Apalis/Colibri IMX6, aborting.” Upon reviewing the wrap-up.sh script in relation to this error, I added the product ID to the case $PRODUCT_ID section. After this adjustment, I was able to successfully install Toradex Easy Installer v1.8 on the IMX6DL 512MB IT V1.1A.
Given this modification, would it be safe to proceed with these changes, or could it lead to unforeseen issues?
