We are pleased to announce the Torizon OS 7.5.0 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.

Hardware Support

A quarterly release is a production release, intended to be used in a production environment only with volume products, as long as they are supported by Torizon OS. We run a set of tests to validate them. Learn more about our release types from our Embedded Linux Support Strategy.

• Volume products: Aquila AM69, Verdin AM62, Verdin iMX8M Plus, Verdin iMX8M Mini, SMARC iMX8M Plus, Apalis iMX8, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6ULL 1GB, Colibri iMX6DL, and Colibri iMX7D 1GB, and Colibri iMX8X
  This release is intended to be used in production for these modules.
• Sample products: Aquila iMX95, Verdin iMX95, Verdin AM62P, and SMARC iMX95
  Due to the hardware status of the sample products, this downstream-based release is intended for evaluation and development.
  Aquila AM69 support depends on the hardware revision as detailed in the dedicated article on developer center.
• Community products: Astra Machina SL1680, and Astra Machina SL2610 Dev Kit from Synaptics; i.MX 93 FRDM Board from NXP; AM62L EVM, AM62P EVM, and AM62 EVK from Texas Instruments; BeagleY-AI from the BeagleBoard Foundation; Generic x86_64
  Toradex runs a test suite for Torizon Cloud-related features on these boards and fixes critical bugs. Overall, Torizon support (including containers and IDE) varies for each platform. Contact us to learn more.
