Torizon quick start problems iMX7D

It’s my 1st attempt to run Torizon.

I tried to follow This QS. There was no Portainer web interface on port 8840 as specified in Module 2:

colibri-imx7-02844390:~$ netstat -ant
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State

tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN

So I tried to follow Instructions to enable VNC and got docker: failed to register layer: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): write /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libicudata.so.67.1: no space left on device.
Though df shows there’s still > 40% of free space on UBI. I tried creating folder, disabling compression and writing to it 100MiB of zeros using dd. No errors.

Is Torizon incompatible with 512MB NAND Colibries? Is there working Quick Start?

Greetings @Edward,

The i.MX7D 512MB is only “experimentally” supported on Torizon at best. Meaning we do builds, and some very basic testing, but as you can see we don’t guarantee full functionality on part with the other modules. For the i.MX7 we only fully support the 1GB eMMC variant with Torizon.

As a side-note where exactly did you install this image from? Did you install it off our Toradex Easy Installer from the nightly feeds? Or somewhere else?

Best Regards,
Jeremias

Hi @jeremias.tx,

The i.MX7D 512MB is only “experimentally” supported on Torizon at best.

I was suggested here several times to try Torizon, so I missed “Contact us” instead of “Supported” in i.MX7 Colibri product page.

As a side-note where exactly did you install this image from? Did you install it off our Toradex Easy Installer from the nightly feeds? Or somewhere else?

Hi @andrecurvello.tx, do you still don’t see the problem users and your team has problems identifying builds from all the information I can provide? I don’t mind it, it can be OK for me. @jeremias.tx, yes I installed it using Tezi, selecting 3rd feed, which is disabled in Tezi by default. That’s all I can provide.

Best regards,
Edward

Apologies if the state of support for each module wasn’t clear. We’ll try to make this more obvious to users on our side.

Hi @Edward,

The official list of supported Torizon modules is presented here.

Unfortunately, the 512 MB NAND version of Colibri iMX7D is not supported due to the “small” amount of storage, insufficient for some containers, as you observed in practice.

It’s still available at CI Feeds in Easy Installer as a matter of “Experimental”, but I’ll discuss with the team for us to disable it for all unsupported modules to avoid this type of confusion.

Best regards,
André Curvello

If you want to still try TorizonCore on Colibri iMX7D 512MB NAND, you can extend the storage space by using an external microSD card.

See:

How to Store Docker Data on an External Storage Device (USB/SD Card)

Best regards,
André Curvello

Thanks, perhaps that’s way to go. It didn’t seem though to ask for hundreds of MiB’s, and I had about way above 100+ real uncompressed MiB’s left.

Edward

You are welcome.
