Torizon
Torizon is a Linux-based software platform that simplifies the process of developing and maintaining embedded software. It allows you to configure the system for your use case quickly and easily, so you can focus on application development instead of Linux builds.
Requirements
Torizon fully supports the following modules, which use eMMC as flash storage:
- Apalis iMX8
- Apalis iMX6
- Colibri iMX8X
- Colibri iMX7 1GB
- Colibri iMX6DL
- Colibri iMX6ULL 1GB
- Verdin iMX8M Mini
- Verdin iMX8M Plus
How to Start
Follow our Step-by-step Quickstart Guide for fully supported modules as an overview step to get you set up in no time.
After you have completed it you can have a complete and updated overview of Torizon OS on the Torizon OS Overview article. You can also check the sidebar on the left for a list of Torizon features and related articles.
Installation
Torizon OS is installed via the Toradex Easy Installer that comes pre-installed in Toradex SoMs from the factory. Install the TorizonCore with evaluation containers:
Access to Command-line
Upon booting one can login on the serial port (debug UART) or from the network via SSH using the following user and password:
- User: torizon
- Password: torizon
On the first login, you are prompted to change the default password. You can then execute commands as root with sudo <command>
or gain root access from within the Linux shell with sudo su
if required, otherwise, stay with the user torizon
as much as possible.
