Extend Torizon to x86 Devices for Seamless Management

Torizon isn’t just for ARM-based hardware. With support for x86 devices, you can extend the same workflows, fleet management, and secure remote access to standard PCs, industrial computers (IPCs), and other x86 devices. Whether you install Torizon OS directly or connect existing Debian/Ubuntu systems with Torizon Connector, your x86 hardware becomes part of the same streamlined development and deployment ecosystem.

Open Source

Torizon is built on a fully open-source foundation, giving you transparency, flexibility, and freedom from vendor lock-in. You can adapt and extend the platform to meet your exact project requirements. Discover our Yocto Layers.

No need to change OS

Already running Debian or Ubuntu on your x86 device? With Torizon Connector, you can connect directly to Torizon’s ecosystem without reinstalling your OS, enabling cloud management and workflows instantly.

Mixed Fleet Management

Manage x86 and ARM devices together under one unified system. Torizon provides consistent workflows across architectures, simplifying operations and scaling for diverse device fleets.

Seamless Cloud Integration

Leverage Torizon Cloud for secure OTA updates, monitoring, and device lifecycle management. Integration is built-in, reducing complexity while giving you full control over your deployment.

There are two paths to connect your x86 devices to the Torizon Cloud. You can either flash Torizon OS to get the full Torizon experience, or, if your device already runs Debian/Ubuntu, you can use the Torizon Connector package to connect to the Torizon Cloud without changing Operating Systems. The following table compares the two approaches:
