To update the firmware on your Verdin i.MX 95 EVK board from Linux 6.6.3 to Linux 6.6.36, which includes TensorFlow 2.16, you can follow these steps:

  1. Backup Your Current System: Before starting the update, make sure to back up your current firmware and any important data to prevent data loss in case of any issues during the update process.

  2. Download the Firmware: Obtain the firmware image for Linux 6.6.36 that includes TensorFlow 2.16. Ensure that the image is compatible with your Verdin i.MX 95 EVK board.

  3. Follow Manufacturer Instructions: Refer to the official Toradex documentation for the firmware update process. This typically involves:

    • Downloading the new firmware version (Linux 6.6.36 with TensorFlow 2.16).
    • Preparing a bootable medium (such as an SD card or USB drive) if required.
    • Using a bootloader (like U-Boot) to flash the new firmware onto the device.

  4. Execute the Update: Follow the specific update procedure outlined in the documentation. This may include:

    • Booting from the prepared medium.
    • Executing commands to load and write the new firmware image to the appropriate memory location.

  5. Verify the Installation: After the update, verify the installation by checking the kernel version and TensorFlow version to ensure the update was successful. You can do this by running:

    uname -a
pip show tensorflow

  6. Test the System: Finally, test the system to ensure that TensorFlow 2.16 is functioning correctly and that all necessary features are operational.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully update your Verdin i.MX 95 EVK board to the desired firmware version.
