Tarform’s Journey with Toradex and Torizon
-
Unlocking Flexibility and Scalability with Toradex Hardware Solutions
Tarform's journey with Toradex and Torizon began with addressing hardware requirements. They sought powerful hardware solutions, that could be flexible to project changes and additions to the portfolio. Toradex Apalis iMX6 and software tools revolutionized complex development projects, even with limited resources. The pin-compatibility of Toradex's SoMs, combined with tools like the Pinout Designer, facilitated scalability and flexibility, allowing rapid addition and deployment of new features while minimizing fundamental architecture redesign. -
Accelerating Time-to-Market with Torizon OS and Toradex
To meet tight deadlines and deliver Tarform Luna models to the market swiftly, Torizon OS and Toradex proved invaluable. Offering a comprehensive set of solutions from hardware to software, Torizon OS and Toradex accelerated the development phase, empowering Tarform engineers to concentrate on application development. Additionally, Toradex's off-the-shelf operating system and hardware development tools, such as the Pinout Designer, minimized maintenance and validation costs, resulting in a low cost-of-ownership solution. -
Overcoming Yocto Project Challenges with off-the-shelf Torizon OS
The challenge of struggling with the Yocto Project, which demanded extensive knowledge and a steep learning curve, was a major turning point for Tarform. However, by implementing Torizon OS as an out-of-the-box solution, Tarform overcame this obstacle. The transition to Torizon OS and its container technologies simplified the development process, allowing the team to focus on application development rather than the operating system. The container-based architecture of Torizon OS enabled a fragmented design process, promoting efficiency and isolation for application and feature development.
The container-based architecture of Torizon OS allowed us to fragment the design process, and interface, so that we could focus on application and feature development in an isolated and efficient fashion.
