All SOMs should come with Toradex Easy Installer pre-installed. If this is not the case, it can be re-installed with this guide. Also, if you have an image already running and you want to get back to the Toradex Easy Installer, these section will show how to do it.

First, download the Toradex Easy Installer to a host machine. Use the following link if you are using a Verdin i.MX95 SoM. For other SoM's you can look for the right download in the following link.

The downloaded file is a zip file:

Verdin-iMX95_ToradexEasyInstaller_7.5.0+build.9.zip

Unzip it and move to the extracted directory:

unzip Verdin-iMX95_ToradexEasyInstaller_7.5.0+build.9.zip
cd Verdin-iMX95_ToradexEasyInstaller_7.5.0+build.9

Now, it is necessary to set the board in recovery mode. If you are using a Verdin Development Board: 1. The first step is to connect the board's power. 2. Second step is to hold pressed the recovery button (SW3). 3. Third step is to press the power button (SW2) while still holding the recovery button. 4. Keep the recovery button pressed for at least 6 seconds and then release.

With these steps done, the board is in recovery mode.

Connect the board with a USB-C - USB-A cable to the Host. Connect USB-C end to the X34 terminal of the Verdin Development Board. With the board in recovery mode, run this command on the host.

lsusb

On the output, the board should be listed as follows:

Bus 003 Device 010: ID 1fc9:015d NXP Semiconductors OO Blank 9

If that's the case, run the recovery-linux script. This script is inside the directory we previously moved into (Verdin-iMX95_ToradexEasyInstaller_7.5.0+build.9). Run it with the following command:

sudo sh ./recovery-linux.sh

The output looks like the following:

After the script is finished, Toradex Easy Installer is installed in the board. After a few seconds, the GUI should come on the HDMI screen connected to the board or the VNC window.
