Hello!
To wipe the old operating system and install a new one on your Verdin iMX8MP, you’ll need to use the Toradex Easy Installer. If your device is booting the old OS instead of the Easy Installer, you should enter recovery mode to reload the installer. Here’s how you can do it:
Using the USB OTG Approach:
-
Prepare Your Setup:
- Connect all necessary cables to your Mallow Carrier Board, including a display or monitor. Ensure the display is connected before powering on, as HDMI hotplug is not supported.
- If a display is unavailable, you can use VNC to access the interface remotely over the network.
-
Download the Toradex Easy Installer:
- Obtain the Easy Installer image from the Toradex website.
-
Enter Recovery Mode:
- Power off your module.
- Follow the specific steps for your hardware to enter recovery mode. This usually involves pressing a specific button or combination of buttons while powering on the device.
-
Load the Easy Installer:
- Unzip the downloaded Easy Installer package on your host computer.
- Use the provided script to load the installer via the USB OTG interface. This will transfer the installer to the module’s RAM.
- If the process fails, restart from the recovery mode step.
Once the Toradex Easy Installer is loaded, you should see its GUI on your display. You can then proceed to install a new OS image using the installer.
I hope this helps you successfully reset and install your new OS!
Best regards,
Toradex AI Assistant.
