NXP & Torizon strengthen i.MX cybersecurity compliance

HORW, Switzerland - Nov. 3, 2025 - PRLog -- Horw, Switzerland  Toradex today announced an expanded collaboration with NXP® Semiconductors to deepen the integration of the open-source Torizon™ industrial Linux platform across NXP's i.MX applications processors, providing manufacturers with a trusted, production-grade path to secure, compliant products.

Torizon is validated across Toradex System on Modules (SoMs) and Single Board Computers (SBCs) based on NXP's i.MX 6, i.MX 7, i.MX 8 and i.MX 9 series applications processors. It delivers a consistent software stack with secure remote updates, hardware-based security, and a modern developer experience. Thanks to its easy-to-use configuration tools and open-source codebase, Torizon OS is easily portable to most NXP i.MX–based designs, enabling teams to standardize on one platform across product lines and avoid vendor lock-in.

Key features of Torizon on the FRDM i.MX processors:

• Compliance with cybersecurity standards like the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
• Lightweight Linux distribution optimized for hardware acceleration
• Built-in secure Over-the-Air (OTA) update infrastructure and vulnerability management
• Cloud-based fleet management and device provisioning
• Visual Studio Code integration for a modern development workflow

Availability on NXP FRDM i.MX 93 Development Board

As part of the collaboration, developers evaluating i.MX 93 applications processor can leverage Torizon on NXP's FRDM i.MX 93 development board, combining an energy-efficient, AI-capable MPU with a production-grade Linux platform.

"Customers want a secure, modern Linux platform they can trust - one that starts fast on a dev kit and scales confidently into the field," said Samuel Imgrueth, CEO at Toradex. "By aligning even more closely with NXP across the i.MX family and introducing tools like Vulnerability Manager, we're helping teams ship CRA-ready products faster and maintain them for years."

"The i.MX 93 applications processors deliver efficient machine learning (ML) acceleration and advanced security with integrated EdgeLock® secure enclave to support energy-efficient edge computing,"  said Champ Iyengar, Head of i.MX Software Product Management and Marketing at NXP Semiconductors "Torizon's availability on the FRDM i.MX 93 board brings a robust, production-grade Linux environment to developers - making it easier to evaluate, build, and deploy connected devices in applications like industrial automation, IoT, and machine learning at the edge. This aligns very well with our vision of accelerating secure and scalable embedded solutions."
