Unattended flashing over Ethernet problem

Hello everyone I am following unattended flashing over ethernet tutorial

I couldn’t understand that; initially it says

Note: Without a local media there is
currently no way to provide the
Installer with a custom URL. There
exists a workaround documented further
below.

But afterwards it creates a new header with named

Custom Image Server without Local Media

I am trying to flash image productions collectively by just using ethernet. Is there a contradiction or a point that i missed?

By the way there tutorial mentions about this:

The Toradex Easy Installer can be used to flash images from an HTTP web server. Using a configuration file as described in the Configuration Format chapter in the Configuration Files tab the Toradex Easy Installer can read the images from a custom/local URL.

There is a configuration file that named “tezi_config.json” which is mention about here.
I made everything also used local media which includes “tezi_config.json” but at the end when it boots nothing happens. Why it should be? Thank you very much for your time and patience…

Hi @burkk,

Sorry for the delay in answering you.

If I understood you right, you need to setup your environment for flashing your modules through Toradex Easy Installer referencing images in a local server, right?

The Custom Image Server without Local Media is to bring up a server without changing the server URL reference for Toradex Easy Installer.

I would expect you to follow Unattended flashing over Ethernet and having it working with your Toradex Easy Installer.

Best regards,

Thank you for your reply.

As you said i followed Unattended flashing over Ethernet but couldn’t handle the issue. I am going to summarize what i have done until now. I make everything that mentioned in there, additionally since it says

The Toradex Easy Installer can be used to flash images from an HTTP web server. Using a configuration file as described in the Configuration Format chapter in the Configuration Files tab the Toradex Easy Installer can read the images from a custom/local URL.

i used an empty usb with file mentioned in here .

But after all when i boot toradex nothing happened. When i redirect tezi.toradex.com/image_list.json i see my image_list.json

By the way i am using windows and virtual Ubuntu machine on it. Is this the reason of failure?
Thank you very much !

Hi @burkk,

I used an empty usb with file mentioned in here .

Could you tell me why are you using an empty USB Stick?

But after all when i boot toradex nothing happened. When i redirect tezi.toradex.com/image_list.json i see my image_list.json

When you say that you boot Toradex and nothing happens, please describe it in detail.
The board doesn’t go to Easy Installer? The expected images don’t appear in the Easy Installer list? What is the issue here?

By the way I am using windows and virtual Ubuntu machine on it. Is this the reason of failure?

About the Virtual Ubuntu Machine, is it the one with the HTTP server acting as a “server” for the Easy Installer?

If that is the case, there is a chance that your Virtual Machine may not be exposing ports, addresses, etc.
