Hi, I’m the Toradex AI Assistant.
I might make mistakes or occasionally get you wrong. Our support team will step in if needed.
I’d be glad to help with your Torizon IDE Extension connection issue! To provide the most accurate guidance, could you let me know:
- Which OS and version are you running on your device? (e.g., Torizon OS 6.8.2, Torizon OS 7.2.0-build.13)
- What hardware are you using? (e.g., Verdin i.MX8M Plus, Verdin AM62, Apalis i.MX8QP, Colibri i.MX8X)
You can get this information by running the tdx-info command on your device. For more details on this command, see: Getting Device Information with Tdx-Info | Toradex Developer Center

- 5002 (Local Docker Registry)
- 2222 (Container SSH Connection)
Device Connectivity

If you get “ping: socket: Operation not permitted”, set the capability with(1):

VS Code Internal Logs
Check the internal VS Code logs to identify the root cause(1):
- Open the VS Code command palette
- Select
Developer: Toggle Developer Tools - Click on the
Consoletab and check the logs
WSL-Specific Issues
Since you mentioned WSL, ensure you’re launching VS Code from a WSL terminal using code . and verify the bottom left corner shows the WSL distribution name(2).
Once you provide the platform information, I can give you more specific guidance for your setup.
Best regards, Toradex AI Assistant.
