Toradex is positioning its 2026 lineup around a wider spread of system-on-modules, from very small Lenos and OSM designs up to higher-performance Aquila and Verdin families. The key message here is scalability: compact modules for cost-sensitive, high-volume products, and larger pin-compatible platforms for projects that need more I/O, compute, graphics, networking or edge AI. That makes the portfolio relevant for gateways, HMIs, robotics and machine-vision devices, while Toradex keeps leaning on software, documentation and long product life as part of the pitch. https://www.toradex.com/
A big part of the story is the move toward smaller solderable form factors. The 30×30 mm Leno and OSM modules shown here are aimed at designs where pick-and-place assembly, vibration resistance and BOM control matter as much as raw performance. In practice, that means customers can start with a compact module for volume production, while still staying close to the Toradex ecosystem instead of rebuilding everything around a custom board too early.
Further up the stack, Toradex is expanding around NXP’s i.MX 95 and TI’s AM69/TDA4 class of processors. That opens the door to more demanding embedded Linux workloads such as multi-camera vision, industrial control, visual inspection, people counting, robotics and autonomous mobile platforms. In that part of the range, the attraction is not just CPU performance but also integrated NPU, ISP, TSN-capable Ethernet, CAN FD, display pipelines and the kind of mixed real-time plus application processing that industrial OEMs increasingly want at the edge.
The demo also points to how Toradex wants customers to move from module to full platform. Carrier boards such as Clover for Aquila target dense vision and robotics use cases, while industrial gateway products extend the company further into ready-to-deploy edge infrastructure rather than only selling compute modules. That is where the value proposition becomes more complete: SOM, carrier board, BSP, Linux distribution, OTA updates, container workflow and cloud fleet management all tied together in one development path.
What makes the pitch credible is that it is less about a single chip and more about a migration strategy across form factors and price points. The video was filmed at Embedded World 2026 in Nuremberg, and the theme throughout is clear: tiny modules that can still expose Ethernet, display and CAN, midrange platforms built around i.MX 95, and higher-end edge AI with Aquila AM69, all anchored by Torizon OS and Toradex support. The result is a portfolio aimed at companies that need to prototype quickly, then scale without changing software foundations too hard.
