Torizon IDE Installation Wizard for Windows - Early Access Feedback Thread

Dear Everyone,

The Torizon Team is happy to announce the release of an attended Installation Wizard to help easily setup VS Code for Torizon development on Windows.

Learn more about it in the blog post Next, Next, Install: The Easiest Way to Setup Your Windows PC for Embedded Linux and in the short video below:

This tool came to life after observing new customers do the setup manually in training sessions and customer calls. And, to close the feedback cycle and further increase your user experience, we look forward to feedback on the first implementation, available in Early Access.

  • How would you rate the new experience setting up a Windows machine for Torizon development?
  • What needs to be improved?

:warning: An issue was found with the Docker initialization configuration on the Torizon Development Environment for WSL. Unfortunately, is not possible to update without uninstall the old version and install it again. To uninstall it run the follow command from the VS Code pallet (Windows side):

After run the command, please go through the Torizon IDE Installation Wizard again.

Based on first feedback we added a banner:

This helps to set expectations and remember that this feature is still experimental. And always remember that your feedback is very important to us, so don’t be shy about leaving anything, bad or good, about the feature here.

Thanks,

Hello,

I’m having some trouble installing the Torizon IDE extension in Visual Studio code for Windows and was hoping someone here might be able to help.

I followed the steps from a video I found online, but unfortunately, it’s not working as expected. I’ve made sure that my Visual Studio code is up to date, and I’ve tried reinstalling the extension a couple of times with no success.

Here’s a brief overview of what I did:

1.Downloaded the Visual Studios code and installed the Torizon IDE extension.
2. After the system verification tick box is selected then for installing WSL it restarts after that if I tried to install again it starts from system verification tick box and the cycle repeats.

Has anyone else faced this issue or has any insights on what might be going wrong? Are there any additional steps or troubleshooting tips that I might have missed?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Pankaj

Hey @pankaj_prasad

so, it seems that the wizard was not able to enable the WSL 2 on your system. Could you share the version of your Windows installation and the hardware that you have?

BR,

Hi @ Matheus Castello,

Thanks for the update. My system is running Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2. For hardware, I’m using the Verdin AM625 development board, version 1.1 A.

Best regards,
Pankaj Prasad

Installation of the .NET SDK inside Torizon WSL failed on a fresh install.
(executing “.conf/installDepsScripts/installDotnetSDK8.sh”)

Entered Torizon WSl and did a “sudo apt update” to get the package list for the first time and then it worked with the update script.
