Conclusion

The world of embedded Linux is changing rapidly, and being able to update every piece of software over-the-air (OTA) is fast becoming a requirement industry-wide. This brings more complexity to an already complex market, and many are wondering how to approach this issue without reinventing the wheel each time.

In this session, we will demonstrate how Torizon can be used with Foundries.io to securely build, deploy, and test an embedded product for the duration of its deployment. By the end of the session, you will understand how to integrate Foundries.io OTA services with Torizon, produce a platform image, test it on hardware, and deploy it to devices in the field.

Linux is highly customizable and offers a large ecosystem. Unfortunately, the flexibility comes with a price, Linux on an embedded system is often not that easy-to-use and has a steep learning curve.

In this webinar, we will show you how to get started with embedded Linux and Arm®-based System on Modules, and also introduce you to Torizon - a new easy-to-use Industrial Linux Software Platform.

We will also take you through setting up the hardware until your first “Hello, world!”.

We recently released our Embedded Linux BSP 3.0 beta, and we would like to provide you some insights into our motivation for the changes and new features in BSP 3.x

The primary reason for the jump from 2.8 directly to 3.0 is that our Embedded Linux BSPs 3.x will no longer be based on the Ångström distribution. We have used the Ångström distribution for many years to provide a simple out-of-the-box experience that includes a desktop environment, to help with initial steps and to simplify development. It was never intended to be directly deployed to volume products.

With the introduction of Torizon, we now provide a superior out-of-the-box experience. Torizon is intended to be directly deployed into final products. It provides the Docker container runtime, offering access to a multitude of userspace and application environments. It also supports Toradex’s tools, such as our Flash Analytics Tool. Torizon even comes with a Debian-based default container that gives you access to thousands of prebuilt packages in a familiar Debian environment, so you can get started fast.

We typically recommend Torizon to customers who are not familiar with the Yocto Project. Experienced Yocto Project developers will find BSP 3.x to be very closely aligned with Poky, the Yocto Project reference distro. Thus, it provides you with an ideal starting point for your own custom Linux build.

This BSP also includes updated bootloaders and kernels. We moved to OpenEmbedded Thud and Yocto Project 2.6.

BSP3.x is supported on Apalis TK1 and all our i.MX-based products. On the Colibri VF50, VF61, T20 and T30, and on the Apalis T30, we will continue maintaining our long-term supported (LTS) BSP 2.8. We will provide updates in the event of hardware changes, and we will regularly fix critical bugs.

You can find more information about long-term support on our developer webpage.

To keep track of updates and get email notifications, we highly recommend subscribing to updates with our new Get Update feature, on the BSP Roadmap Page.

Please note that BSP 3.0 beta 1 was released for the Apalis iMX8QM only. The upcoming BSP 3.0 beta 2 will support all i.MX-based products and the Apalis TK1.

Traditional deep learning models require large amounts of computing power, so deploying at the edge has required either expensive hardware or a constant connection to the cloud. Xnor’s new AI2GO platform enables enterprises and individual developers to easily deploy hyper-efficient deep learning models onto edge devices. AI2GO hosts hundreds of Xnor's pre-trained AI models that are tuned for specific hardware targets, use cases, and performance characteristics to fit different needs. There are a variety of models for computer vision tasks like object and person detection, image segmentation, and action classification, that run on a selection of low power hardware such as the Toradex Apalis System on Module with the NXP® i.MX 6 and i.MX 8 SoCs.
