Overview
What is Torizon OS Yocto Reference Minimal Image?
Torizon OS Yocto Reference Minimal Image is an embedded Linux reference image built on top of Toradex Linux BSP Layers. As with every other reference image from Toradex, Torizon OS Yocto Reference Minimal Image is a starting point for the development process of our customers.
It inherits all the configurations, device drivers and kernel modules from Torizon OS, including the components for secure offline and remote over-the-air (OTA) update. However, it does not feature a container engine, so it is not possible to use Docker containers out of the box.
Unlike Torizon OS, the Torizon OS Yocto Reference Minimal Image is not a ready-to-use operating system!
