The issue you’re describing with the Torizon IDE extension in Visual Studio Code seems to be related to the use of the hostname command with the -I flag, which is not available on all platforms. This can lead to problems when the extension tries to set the computer’s hostname to an empty string, causing connectivity issues with devices.

The provided code snippet offers a solution by using NodeJS’s platform-independent APIs to determine the host IP address. This approach checks the network interfaces available on the system and selects the first non-internal IPv4 address it finds. This method should work across different operating systems, as it doesn’t rely on platform-specific command-line tools.

If you’re experiencing this issue, you might consider implementing a similar approach in your setup or checking if there’s an update or patch for the Torizon IDE extension that addresses this problem. If the issue persists, reaching out to Toradex support or the community forums for further assistance might be beneficial.
