BSP Layers and Reference Images for the Yocto Project
The Yocto Project is one of the most popular frameworks for building a customized embedded Linux distribution. Toradex is a Yocto Project Participant and maintains in-house, production-grade BSP layers and reference images compatible with the Yocto Project. This provides an ideal starting point for your embedded Linux projects. The Toradex BSP is also the foundation of Torizon, our ready-to-use industrial Linux platform.

Long-Term Support (LTS)
We use LTS software and have a policy of upstreaming our changes to mainline
Fully Customizable
Use the Yocto Project to build your own highly-optimized embedded Linux distribution. Customizing our distribution is straightforward thanks to our extensive documentation.
Toradex Yocto Project Reference Images
To kick start your project, Toradex provides reference Yocto Project Distributions, including binary images:
You can install the reference images in one click with the Toradex Easy Installer.

The Yocto Project allows for maximum flexibility — however, it has a steep learning curve and brings with it the added complexity of maintaining your own Linux distribution. If you would prefer to focus more on your application, take a look at Torizon OS, our easy-to-use industrial Linux platform. Torizon OS works right out of the box and includes a binary distribution. It receives regular updates and its advanced tooling allows for simple customizations to support your use case. Torizon OS is also building with Toradex the Yocto Project Layer, so all customization options are available, too.
High-Quality BSP
Our optimized embedded Linux BSPs are developed and supported in-house. They are designed and tested to be directly integrated into your end product. The Toradex embedded Linux BSPs are used by thousands of our customers, many of whom are building critical devices for industrial automation, healthcare and transportation.
Easily integrate your product with the Torizon Cloud, and enable a secure way to develop and maintain IoT devices in the field.

Open Source
We at Toradex are committed to open source. Our technologies are based heavily on open-source software. We contribute to and serve as maintainers of many open-source projects, and we actively participate in open-source communities. We are actively working on upstreaming changes and focusing our efforts on mainline development as much as possible. At Toradex, we believe working together builds better products for everyone. We are always interested in collaboration.
The Toradex BSPs and images for Yocto are publicly available free of charge, allowing you to fully customize and redistribute them to your end customers. You can leverage the vast Linux ecosystem to bring your products to the market faster.
