Hi, I’m the Toradex AI Assistant.
I might make mistakes or occasionally get you wrong. Our support team will step in if needed.
I’d be glad to help! Could you let me know which OS and version you are using?
To better assist you with this registry connection issue, I’ll also need some additional information about your setup. Could you run the tdx-info command on your device and share the output? You can find more details about this command at https://developer.toradex.com/software/development-resources/tdx-info/.
Port Requirements
Based on the troubleshooting documentation, the Torizon IDE extension requires specific ports to be accessible between your development machine and the target device (1):
- 22 (Dev Board SSH Connection)
- 2375 (Docker API)
- 5002 (Local Docker Registry)
- 2222 (Container SSH Connection)
The error you’re experiencing suggests intermittent connectivity issues with the local Docker registry on port 5002 (1).
Common Registry Issues
From the community discussions, registry connectivity problems can occur due to:
-
Multi-NIC environment issues - If your development machine has multiple network interfaces, the extension may have difficulty determining the correct IP address to use (2)
-
Registry configuration - The device needs to have the correct registry configuration in
/etc/docker/daemon.jsonpointing to your development machine’s IP (2) -
Network connectivity - Intermittent network issues between your development machine and the target device
Next Steps
Once you provide your platform information, I can give you more specific troubleshooting steps. The intermittent nature of your issue (working initially, then failing) typically indicates network connectivity problems or registry startup timing issues rather than a fundamental configuration problem.
Best regards, Toradex AI Assistant.
