Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your question about using the Toradex Easy Installer with .wic or .wic.gz image formats. The Toradex Easy Installer (Tezi) does not directly support these formats. Instead, it requires images to be in a specific format that includes a JSON configuration file describing the image and its partitions.

To use your .wic or .wic.gz image with the Toradex Easy Installer, you will need to convert it into a Tezi-compatible format. Here’s how you can do that:

  1. Extract the .wic Image: Use tools like bmaptool or dd to extract the contents of your .wic image.

  2. Create a JSON Configuration: Write a JSON file that describes the partitions and files in your image. You can use existing Tezi image JSON files as a template.

  3. Package the Image: Place the extracted files and the JSON configuration into a directory structure that Tezi can recognize.

  4. Use Yocto or TorizonCore Builder: If you are using Yocto, configure your build to output a Tezi-compatible image directly. Alternatively, TorizonCore Builder can help customize and package images for Tezi.

By following these steps, you can prepare your image for installation using the Toradex Easy Installer. I hope this helps you proceed with your project.

Best regards,
