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.

Download the latest .wic image from our Artifacts server (e.g. torizon-docker-intel-corei7-64-7.0.0-devel-20250409+build.33.wic)

Flash the image to an SD Card, making sure to pass in the correct /dev/sdX device of your card:

$ sudo dd if=torizon-docker-intel-corei7-64-7.0.0-devel-20250409+build.33.wic of=/dev/sdX bs=4M

Create an account on the Torizon Cloud. On the Devices page, click to provision a new device and then the “Copy to clipboard” button, and paste it on your device’s terminal

If your x86 device runs Debian or Ubuntu, you can use Torizon Connector to link it with Torizon’s cloud and tools, there’s no need to replace your OS. This lets you manage fleets and workflows without migrating.
