Accelerate x86 to Arm Migration with Torizon

Modernize legacy x86 systems running Windows, Ubuntu, or Debian with a maintained Linux-based platform. Simplify OS porting and on-field maintenance, while streamlining CRA compliance.

Many teams expect an x86 migration to take a year and consume a major engineering budget.

Your x86 devices are hard to get

Supply-chain pressure, reduced availability, or end-of-life notices can lead you to consider alternate solutions like redesigning to modern Arm architecture.

Porting to Arm feels complex and resource intensive

Reworking application code, drivers, UI, graphics, peripherals, and integrations for Linux can pull experienced engineers away from the product itself.

EU CRA Increases Maintenance Complexity

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requires robust processes for security updates, vulnerability management, SBOMs, traceability, and lifecycle planning throughout the product’s lifetime.

Not sure how to migrate from Windows to Linux?

You want to move to Linux to unify your fleet, lower costs, take advantage of Arm, and benefit from the latest embedded software stack—but you’re concerned about the cost and risk.

Torizon gives your team a maintained Linux destination and a development environment optimized for engineers familiarized with windows development process.

Designed for Windows-to-Linux Migration

Develop on Windows using Visual Studio Code in a familiar environment. Ready-to-use templates for .NET, C/C++, Python, Qt, and more let you develop and debug your applications just as you would on a PC.

Experienced Partners

KDAB and ICS bring extensive experience in Windows and Windows CE modernization, MFC, Win32, native C++, Qt, UI architecture, embedded Linux, and systems integration—minimizing the risks associated with your porting project.

AI Accelerated Porting

Expert-supervised AI analysis can inventory dependencies, surface OS-specific code, and prepare repetitive transformations for review-while engineers retain control of architecture, integration, and validation.

Torizon OS has eliminated our Windows licensing costs while enabling our engineers to transition to a Linux-based, out-of-the-box OS despite having minimal experience in Ubuntu Linux.

Your migration can pay off quickly by reducing maintenance and compliance costs. Modern development workflows free up valuable resources, helping your team innovate faster.

Continuous Testing

Torizon OS images are automatically tested every day across all supported hardware, helping catch software regressions early and strengthening confidence in each quarterly production release.

Continuous Security and Compliance

Published SBOMs improve software transparency, while Torizon Vulnerability Manager provides daily CVE scanning and expert triage to support remediation—simplifying compliance with regulations such as the EU CRA, FDA requirements, and the EU MDR.

Integrated Fleet Operations

Full-stack remote updates, secure remote access, and device monitoring work together to simplify fleet operations and reduce routine on-site visits.

Eliminate the Stress of Maintaining Debian and Ubuntu Fleets

While Debian and Ubuntu are excellent desktop and development environments, they are not always the right choice for managing large fleets of deployed devices, where reliability, immutability, and reproducibility are essential. Debian- and Ubuntu-based containers provide a straightforward migration path to the robust Torizon platform.

Torizon simplifies the development of AI-based apps enormously. Thanks to the comprehensive container ecosystem and the samples provided by Toradex, you can quickly build prototypes and shorten the time to deployment

The latest Arm-based embedded systems are powerful enough to handle many workloads traditionally associated with x86. They often deliver better performance per watt, while AI-optimized options offer powerful CUDA-capable GPUs or dedicated NPUs for demanding edge AI workloads.
