I want to download it to the board using Easy Installer, but Mallow carrier B’d doesn’t have a recovery SW, how can I download it?

Hello! Thank you for your question.

Since the Mallow carrier board does not provide a recovery button, you can still load the Toradex Easy Installer using external media, such as an SD Card or a USB Stick. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Download the Toradex Easy Installer image for your module from the Toradex Easy Installer download page.

  2. Prepare external media (SD Card or USB Stick):

    • Format your SD Card or USB Stick as FAT (FAT-32 recommended).
    • Unzip the Easy Installer package and copy its contents to the root directory of your external media.

  3. Boot order for the iMX8MP platform:

    • The system checks for bootable images in the following order: SD Card, internal eMMC, then USB Stick.

  4. To boot from the USB Stick (if you want to use USB):

    • Connect to the board using the serial debug UART to access the U-Boot console.
    • Insert your prepared USB stick.
    • Power on the board.
    • Stop the U-Boot autoboot process by pressing any key when prompted in the console.
    • At the U-Boot prompt, run the command:
      run bootcmd_usb0
    • The board should now boot the Toradex Easy Installer from your USB stick.

This method works even if your carrier board lacks a dedicated recovery mode button. Detailed instructions are available here:
