New Release:
Torizon OS 6.7.0 Quarterly Release
We are pleased to announce the Torizon OS 6.7.0 quarterly release for Toradex's System on Modules.
Torizon OS is our operating system that powers Torizon, a DevOps platform that simplifies the development and maintenance of embedded Linux software. Torizon OS is designed to be used out-of-the-box on devices requiring high reliability, allowing you to focus on your application instead of building and maintaining an operating system.
Torizon uses software containers, making it simple to add functionality to your system in a way that is both secure and easy to maintain. Torizon supports hardware acceleration in containers and graphical user interfaces.
This release includes all updates from the previous 6.x.y Torizon OS releases.

This release is intended to be used in production on these modules. - Sample products: Verdin AM62
Due to the hardware status being “sample”, this release is intended for development.
For Verdin, only the second generation of Verdin products is supported.
