Toradex showcases how its new single board computer built around the Synaptics Astra SL1680 SoC turns the familiar Raspberry Pi form factor into a production-ready industrial platform, shipping out of the box with the Torizon embedded Linux stack and cloud-managed over-the-air updates. The SL1680 SBC reuses existing cases, HATs and cabling, but adds an 8-TOPS edge AI NPU, hardened Linux distribution and secure lifecycle tooling aimed at long-lived IoT deployments ([toradex.com][1]) https://www.toradex.com/single-board-computers/sl1680

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

From there the conversation dives into the developer experience around Torizon: container-based application deployment, OS customization, and tight integration with a Visual Studio Code extension that can talk directly to the boards. At Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim, Toradex emphasizes that the same platform used for rapid prototyping scales to fleet management in Torizon Cloud, with features such as automated CVE scanning, SBOM generation and VEX reports to support EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance
Vertical demos make this concrete. A marine HMI for high-end yachts runs a Qt-based UI on Verdin i.MX 8M Plus hardware, while a medical-style interface uses the LVGL lightweight graphics library on the Verdin AM62P module. Nearby, a Verdin i.MX95 evaluation kit shows the same Toradex carrier design running both QNX and Linux, underlining how the hardware and Torizon ecosystem can support mixed-criticality systems where real-time tasks coexist with rich graphics and connected services.
The hardware table walks through the broader portfolio: multiple Verdin System-on-Modules, the high-core-count Achila AM69 board for compute-dense edge AI, and production-ready carrier boards like the Malo platform plus partner-built industrial PCs. A multi-camera inference demo routes several USB cameras into the Achila AM69, performing on-device object and face detection at the edge, while customer enclosures from companies like Splunk illustrate how these SoMs and carrier boards end up as sealed industrial gateways with CAN, antenna connectors and robust I/O in the field.
Security and lifecycle management are the cross-cutting themes. Toradex highlights Torizon’s Vulnerability Manager and CRA content: continuous CVE monitoring, triage of exploitable issues, SBOM-driven traceability and managed update pipelines designed so OEMs can meet the CRA’s December 2027 enforcement horizon without building their own infrastructure from scratch The T-Bot self-balancing robot running split workloads across Cortex-A Linux and Cortex-M real-time cores is a playful reminder that, underneath the regulatory and security story, these platforms are still about enabling inventive embedded products that stay secure, maintainable and updatable over many years.
