Torizon, a software platform that uses containers as a key technology, has container images that serve different purposes.
Some of them are provided by Toradex:
Other containers are provided by third parties:
This article lists containers and points to additional resources.
Toradex containers are meant to be used as the foundation for your application development.
| Image Name | Description | Learn More |
|---|---|---|
| debian | Base image to start a simple Container. | Debian Containers for Torizon |
| debian-shell | Base image with shell utilities, meant to help during development | Debian Containers for Torizon |
| wayland-base | Contains Wayland libraries without a compositor | Debian Containers for Torizon |
| wayland-base-vivante | Contains binary drivers for Vivante GPUs (i.MX 8 modules) | Debian Containers for Torizon |
| weston | Contains Wayland libraries and Weston compositor | Debian Containers for Torizon |
| weston-vivante | Contains binary drivers for Vivante GPUs (i.MX 8 modules) | Debian Containers for Torizon |
| qt5-wayland | Contains Wayland libraries and Qt5 compositor | Qt Debian Container for Torizon |
| qt5-wayland-vivante | Contains binary drivers for Vivante GPUs (i.MX 8 modules) | Qt Debian Container for Torizon |
| qt5-wayland-examples | Contains pre-built Qt5 examples for quick evaluation | Qt Debian Container for Torizon |
| qt5-wayland-examples-vivante | Contains binary drivers for Vivante GPUs (i.MX 8 modules) | Qt Debian Container for Torizon |
| kiosk-mode-browser | Contains the Chromium browser to run web-based GUIs | Web Browser / Kiosk Mode with TorizonCore |
The following diagram depicts the hierarchy of the Debian containers:
Debian based container images
Development containers to assist the development.
| Image Name | Description |
|---|---|
| dev-tools | Developer tools |
| cnab-app-base | Used for TorizonCore Docker App support |
| ostree-easy-installer-builder | Container to add some custom content to a torizon-core image |
| ostree-push-to-garage | This tool generates, signs and publishes an update to work with Here! or ATS Garage. |
Toradex provides SDK containers to work with IDEs:
| IDE | Link |
|---|---|
| Visual Studio | Visual Studio Extension For Torizon |
| Visual Studio Code | Visual Studio Code Extension for Torizon |
The IDEs will abstract their use, therefore they will be transparent to your development.
To leverage the flexibility of the Torizon platform, Toradex partners with software companies from different industry segments and technologies to offer you Partner Demo Containers. Those containers are ready-to-run demonstrations with out-of-the-box compatibility to both Toradex hardware and the Torizon platform.
| Partner | Demo Container | Brief Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Codesys | Codesys PLC Runtime | CODESYS programmable logic controller (PLC) demo runtime on a Torizon container and how to use it |
 |
Crank Software | Crank Storyboard | Crank Storyboard allows you to build embedded systems optimized, rich GUI on a cross-platform IDE |
 |
TotalCross | TotalCross SDK | TotalCross is an easy-to-use Open Source SDK aiming the fast designing of beautiful Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for multiple platforms |
Those images are available on public registries, such as Docker Hub. They are maintained by third parties that are not related to Toradex. They are listed here because at some point in time we have tested them on Torizon and documented it, thus you know that they are good candidates for you to use.
