Torizon OS 7.7.0 Quarterly Release

We are pleased to announce the Torizon OS 7.7.0 quarterly release for Toradex's System on Modules.

Torizon OS is our operating system that powers Torizon, a DevOps platform that simplifies the development and maintenance of embedded Linux software. Torizon OS is designed to be used out-of-the-box on devices requiring high reliability, allowing you to focus on your application instead of building and maintaining an operating system.

Torizon uses software containers, making it simple to add functionality to your system in a way that is both secure and easy to maintain. Torizon supports hardware acceleration in containers and graphical user interfaces.

Updates and Highlights

Torizon OS

• Distro updates:
  • Devices can now be pre-provisioned directly into a Torizon Cloud fleet when customizing a Torizon OS image with TorizonCore Builder. Learn more about provisioning devices to fleets.
  • AppArmor is now available as an opt-in security feature on Torizon OS 7. Learn how to enable and configure AppArmor on Torizon OS.
  • Online updates can now capture and upload the systemd journal and other device logs, with a basic viewer available for inspecting them.
  • Added WIC images for signed Torizon OS builds, enabling direct flashing of secure-boot-enabled devices using the WIC format.
  • Added support for Lino iMX93 and OSM iMX93.
• Device drivers included as a module:
  • Enabled additional IPv6 PIM-SM v2 and IPv6 packet duplication options and IPv6 and nftables kernel options required to run an OpenThread Border Router container.

• Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed HAB and AHAB automatic fuse programming requiring a manual reboot between fuse operations.
  • Fixed an issue on x86 devices where a failed update could leave GRUB in a rollback state and cause subsequent updates to roll back without being attempted.
  • Fixed the Copy Fail CVE-2026-31431 and Dirty Frag CVE-2026-43284 Linux kernel vulnerabilities on Toradex hardware. See TOR-4398 for details.

  • Added the files required to flash Luna SL1680 with the Synaptics usb-tool.
  • Added a Common Torizon build manifest for NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. See the NVIDIA build instructions and NVIDIA hardware support documentation.
  • TorizonCore Builder now supports Luna SL1680 and Astra Machina SL1680 images through conversion between the SYNAIMG and WIC image formats.
• Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed fw_printenv and fw_setenv not working on Astra Machina SL1680.
  • Fixed the Copy Fail CVE-2026-31431 and Dirty Frag CVE-2026-43284 Linux kernel vulnerabilities on Common Torizon for x86, supported Texas Instruments platforms, and Luna SL1680 and Astra Machina SL1680.
  • Fixed the OTA rollback mechanism on BeagleY-AI.
  • Fixed repo sync failures when building Common Torizon for Luna SL1680 and Astra Machina SL1680.
  • Fixed an edk2-firmware-tegra build failure on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano.

Debian Packages and Containers

Full release notes are published in the Torizon Containers repository: Torizon Containers Release Notes.

Intended Use

The Torizon OS 7.7.0 Quarterly Release is a production-grade release.

Therefore, if you are in production with TorizonCore 5, Torizon OS 6 or earlier Torizon OS 7 releases, we recommend moving to this quarterly release. Learn more in the Torizon Upgrade Notes.

Hardware Support

A quarterly release is a production release, intended to be used in a production environment only with volume products, as long as they are supported by Torizon OS. We run a set of tests to validate them. Learn more about our release types from our Embedded Linux Support Strategy.

• Volume products: Aquila AM69/TDA4, Verdin AM62P, Verdin AM62, Verdin iMX8M Plus, Verdin iMX8M Mini, SMARC iMX8M Plus, Apalis iMX8, Apalis iMX6, Colibri iMX6ULL 1GB, Colibri iMX6DL, Colibri iMX7D 1GB, and Colibri iMX8
  • This release is intended to be used in production on these modules.
• Sample products: Lino iMX93, OSM iMX93, Luna SL1680, Aquila iMX95, SMARC iMX95, and Verdin iMX95
  • Due to the hardware status being "sample," this release is intended for evaluation and development.
• Community products: NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, Astra Machina SL1680, and Astra Machina SL2610 Dev Kit from Synaptics; i.MX 93 FRDM Board from NXP; AM62L EVM, AM62P EVM, and AM62 EVM from Texas Instruments; BeagleY-AI from the BeagleBoard Foundation; Generic x86_64
  • Toradex runs a test suite for Torizon Cloud-related features on these boards and fixes critical bugs. Overall, Torizon support (including containers and IDE) varies for each platform. Contact us to learn more.
