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

Toradex offers robust and reliable embedded systems, which are required to work continuously in harsh environments. Ethernet is one of the most important interfaces for the Internet of Things (IoT). We will review some Ethernet standards and show you how Toradex tests for compliance with them.

Xnor just released access to hundreds of deep learning models that can be easily embedded in your Toradex board with a couple of lines of code.

AI traditionally depended on expensive hardware running in the cloud, which has dramatically limited its use to just a few large companies. Even with the available tools, building AI products required extensive knowledge in deep learning to design, train, and implement solutions for a host of constraints, including power, memory, and latency rendering development for on-device AI near impossible.

ToradexはColibri iMX8X システムオンモジュールの早期アクセスを開始します。このSoMは、新しいNXP^® i.MX 8X SoCを採用しています。これは、NXP i.MX 8ラインの中では唯一Arm^® Cortex^®-A35コアを搭載したSoCです。この記事では、この新しいプロセッサに関するいくつかのインサイトと、他製品との比較について、説明します。

This is the fourth and final of a 4-part blog post series on the application of lithium-ion batteries in embedded systems, focusing on the Toradex Colibri iMX7 Low Power Demo Hardware. We will use this demo to present a possible solution for our topic on using lithium-ion batteries.

The third of a 4-part blog post series which provides a broad overview of the application of lithium-ion batteries in embedded systems. Read on for an overview and things to consider in USB charging.

The second of a 4-part series on the application of lithium-ion batteries in embedded systems, this post provides an overview of Battery Management Systems.

The Internet of Things, IoT, is inviting devices to change our lives. When it comes to the industrial aspect of IoT, devices assist in managing processes during which alarm management adds value to predict faults and catastrophes. Things are getting embedded with and controlled by smart devices that come together to automate tasks, so we can maximize our time.

At the same time, developers and manufacturers of embedded systems and devices need to prepare and keep up with this new trend and build systems that answer the demands of markets and introduce new innovations, which at its core relies on one common thing: data management.

The first of a 4-part series, this post provides a broad overview of the application of lithium-ion batteries in embedded systems. The focus of this post will be on the battery charging and management system with safety in mind. Also provided are useful hints and links step-by-step explanations of some lithium-ion battery fundamentals; so you feel confident to soon start your own project using lithium-ion batteries.

Raspberry Pi and Arduino are probably the most significant symbols of the Maker Movement. They are, without a doubt, the electronics hardware which boosted and triggered the Maker Movement that is changing the world! Read on for an interesting take on improving industrial embedded system development by taking advantage of the maker ecosystem.

FreeRTOS is a real-time operating system kernel for embedded devices. In development since 2003, it is the market-leading real-time operating system, having been ported to more than 40 microcontroller architectures. On November 29, 2017, Amazon acquired FreeRTOS and announced Amazon FreeRTOS (or a:FreeRTOS), a real-time operating system kernel based on FreeRTOS and focused on low-power, connected devices

Today, Industry 4.0 and the IIoT have introduced a whole new set of challenges: There will be more connected devices, which will generate more data, that in turn will lead to even more complex software applications. The playing field will change at an exponentially accelerating pace, including the state of device infrastructure, application complexity, and development. Read on for more insight in this Guest blog post from our partner, The Qt Company. 

現在、グラフィカルユーザインターフェイス（GUI）は、多くの組み込みプロジェクトで使われています。GUIがあれば、ユーザは、スクリーンに表示されるアイコンなどのインジケータを含むグラフィック要素を介してデジタルデバイスとやり取りができます。組み込みデバイスにとって優良なGUIは重要なものです。操作性が増し、ユーザがデバイスの動作を理解するのに役立つからです。

現在、QtやGTKなどGUIを作成するためのツールが数多く市場に出ています。JavaScript、HTML、CSSなどのウェブ技術を使いネイティブアプリケーションを作成するためのフレームワークであるElectronも、こうしたツールの1つです。

Cloud services have been a reality for some years already. Right now, one of the biggest concepts in the field is the Internet of Things, or IoT for short. When we electronics folk think of the cloud, the first thing that comes to our minds is connecting several devices to it and uploading data to be visualized, stored and analyzed - among other possibilities. Of course, other uses may come to mind, too.

One thing we don't always realize is that the cloud can be much more than simply an IoT tool, or something only large corporations have access to. We can make use of the cloud for everyday tasks, too. As a matter of fact, that's the motivation behind this article - taking a time-consuming task and using the cloud to simplify our lives a little!

In this guest blog post, Diamond Systems explains considerations to use Computer Modules for an application inside an emergency response vehicle. Diamond Systems is a valued member of the Toradex Partner Network providing off-the-shelf ready-to-use Carrier Boards for Toradex Modules.

You most likely have heard about the recent WannaCry cyber attack. With IoT, there are more and more connected embedded devices, so security is a big concern. After WannaCry, requests about security peaked, especially among Windows CE/Windows Embedded Compact users. Here's a short blog post reflecting our view.

In this post, our partner Antmicro provides details of its brand-new Android 7.1 demo image for Toradex Apalis TK1 and the accompanying TK1 baseboard, bringing a familiar, cutting-edge UI experience to a small form-factor, high-performance Tegra^™ K1 solution, easy to embed in your product.

This is a series of articles aiming to demystify the development of embedded systems using Heterogeneous Multicore Processing architecture powered SoCs. Through a practical approach and presentation of several demos, this will provide to you a quick start to your development.
