I followed explanation to add custom image from there: Downloads & Installers | Toradex Developer Center

So I created a image.json below

    "autoinstall": false,

                    }
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "name": "mmcblk0boot0",
            "content": {

                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    ]
}

Easy installer detects the USB stick but it shows an error like below. What does it means ?

You definitely don’t want to have isinstaller set to true as this is reserved exclusively for a Toradex Easy Installer package. Then, as filesystem_type I would rather recommend using ext4 nowadays. As mkfs_options we usually use -E nodiscard with that. Then, filename should be a compressed tar file unless you really only want that single tar file to be copied rather than extracted. Please note that with a compressed tar file you also would need to specify the uncompressed_size. Concerning the error you are seeing one could try e.g. the following:

  • You may want to have a look at our trouble shoot section. Especially, posting /var/volatile/tezi.log as a textual file may be more helpful than some random screenshot.
  • Try whether or not the latest beta version of the Toradex Easy Installer behaves the same.
  • Try minimising the image.json file (e.g. try with a single entry in blockdevs and/or only one single partition on mmcblk0.

Let us know whether or not any of this helps or what exactly you find out. Thanks!
