Every embedded Linux OS has few remarkable pieces of software, in this article referred to as components, that are very important to understand the overall system status with regards to performance, known and fixed issues, build instructions, among other aspects.
It is nearly impossible to always use the same versions of components for all of the Toradex computer on modules, therefore this article aims to give you a consolidated overview of the versions of the most remarkable components of our embedded Linux offerings: the Linux kernel, U-Boot and Yocto. We also document versions of the Security Controller (SECO), System Controller Firmware/System Controller Unit (SCFW/SCU) and Trusted Firmware for the A core (TF-A) for some of our NXP-based modules.
You must read the following articles:
We strongly recommend that you read the following articles at least once:
Active releases are recommended for use with Toradex SoMs. There may be several active releases at the same time:

This section starts to be maintained since BSP 5 when BSP Layers and Reference Images for Yocto Project and TorizonCore aligned on using the same versions of components. If you need to know a version of components prior to that, get in contact with our support. Some computer on modules may not be supported by TorizonCore.
You can still see detailed information on previous releases.
There are no LTS releases for 5 yet.
