Operating Systems
Software is a critical element of any reliable embedded platform. Toradex invests 85% of its engineering resources in developing software optimized for security, power efficiency, and high performance to complement the robust hardware on its Computer on Modules.
Toradex offers in-house operating system support for selected operating systems, such as Linux, Windows Embedded Compact and FreeRTOS. Toradex also has a trusted network of third-party partners who offer additional operating system support.
Embedded Linux
Developers designing with Toradex can choose from two paths of development for Linux software, the ready-to-use Torizon software platform, or the customizable Toradex Reference Images for Yocto Project.
For both offerings, Toradex provides free software libraries to implement additional features, including camera interfaces, SPI, PWM, I2C, CAN and cloud connectivity. A full tool chain for bootloader and operating system updates is also available for download. The software regularly receives free OS updates, bug fixes and new features.
