Upon power up Mx8 Colibri with Aster carrier see blank screen with gray flower pattern and mouse pointer

When power on, see only a blank screen with a background that is a gray pattern of flowers or something.

The mouse moves a pointer around…

But nothing else…

Is this supposed to be the easy installer?

The website shows that it should be populated with choices… nothing shows up…

Have keyboard plugged in, as well as mouse, to the Type A USB sockets

Have ethernet cable plugged in… checked with laptop that the cable is live and connected to internet (needs to get IP addr from DHCP)

Have VGA and power supply plugged in

When power up it goes through some Linux boot sequence then… nothing… just blank screen…

Thoughts?

Looks like your module already flashed with some image. You can connect debug UART (Aster X4 mini USB connector) to see what is loading or load Toradex Easy Installer as described here.
