Hardware Setup

Before installing a prebuilt image with Toradex Easy Installer, ensure that the Verdin i.MX95 module and carrier board (Verdin's Development board) are properly connected, powered, and ready for recovery mode. The following hardware connections and checks are required to guarantee a smooth installation process.

• Connect an Ethernet cable from the carrier board’s Ethernet port (X25) to your local network (router or switch). This is recommended because Toradex Easy Installer can download images directly from the internet. It ensures reliable network connectivity for online image selection.

• Connect a USB-C cable from the carrier board’s USB-C port (X34) (USB device/OTG port) to a USB-A port on your laptop or host PC. This connection is important because it allows recovery mode access. It enables communication between your PC and the module.

• Connect the DSI-to-HDMI Adapter on your Verdin Development Board to be able to interact with the GUI. This will help interact visually with Toradex Easy Installer. It will also be neccessary to have a mouse connected to the board. If you do not have a display available, you can use the display on your host setting a VNC connection. To enable a VNC connection check the Connecting Verdin Board to VNC Viewer section.

• Connect the board's power supply with the recommended power specifications and power it on using the power button (SW2).

Connecting Verdin Board to VNC Viewer

If an HDMI monitor is not available, you can remotely view and control the Verdin board’s graphical output using VNC. This allows you to see the Toradex Easy Installer (TEZI) interface from a window on your host laptop.

Install xtightvncviewer with the following command:

sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer

Connect the board usb-c terminal (X34) to the USB-A terminal on your host. After the board is powered on and the Toradex Easy Installer is running, you can see its GUI by connecting through VNC using the VNC viewer with the following command:

vncviewer 192.168.11.1

A window should open with TEZI's initial screen. You can also use the IP address given by your network to the board via Ethernet.
