What does it take to bring Edge AI into real-world products?

The Synaptics Tech Day was a great opportunity to explore this question with fellow engineers and discuss the challenges of embedded development.

A great example is the Luna SL1680 SBC, which combines the Synaptics SL1680 processor with Torizon to support Edge AI applications.

Thanks to Synaptics for hosting and to everyone who connected with our team!

From real-time AI and advanced graphics to secure software updates, NXP Tech Days Milan gave us plenty to demonstrate!

Visitors got a closer look at our NXP-powered hardware and Torizon software capabilities, sparking valuable conversations about real-world applications and embedded development challenges.

Thanks to NXP for hosting and to everyone who stopped by.

Welcome to the Toradex Partner Network, UXDivers! 👋

UXDivers is a product design studio specializing in UX/UI, cross-platform technologies, and HMI development, helping engineering teams turn complex interface designs into applications running on real hardware.

Their recent collaboration with The Qt Company puts this expertise into practice: taking a design from Figma to a working Qt application, validated on Toradex hardware running Torizon.

How much of your AI model is actually running on the NPU?

A model may appear to be NPU-accelerated while parts of its network are still running on the CPU. Understanding where inference time is spent can reveal important performance bottlenecks.

Join Carlos Gonzalez from Toradex and Sébastien Taylor from Au-Zone Technologies as they explore a practical COCO validation workflow using the EdgeFirst Profiler on a Verdin iMX95 running Torizon.

They'll also examine a standard YOLOv8 model export to show how a model behaves when it isn't fully optimized for the target hardware.

Where does Zinnia Gateway fit in real-world applications?

From industrial automation and AI vision to energy, infrastructure, and smart-city systems, industrial embedded solutions need to be ready to deploy and supported for the long term.

Zinnia Gateway is a certified industrial gateway with Torizon OS pre-flashed, so you can focus on building your application while Toradex maintains the OS, OTA updates, security patches, and certifications.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act is changing how embedded products are designed and maintained.

At NXP Tech Days Detroit 2026, Drew Moseley (Torizon Professional Services) will take a closer look at what the CRA means for embedded developers and how teams can prepare.

The session will explore the CRA as both a risk-management framework and a technical specification, including what it asks of developers, the path to conformity, and how to identify the product class that applies to your device.

📅 October 28 | 3:30–4:20 PM EDT

Deploying an AI model is one thing. Knowing how it actually performs on your target is another.

Join Carlos Gonzalez (Ecosystem & Growth Director at Toradex) and Sébastien Taylor (Vice-President of R&D at Au-Zone Technologies) for a practical COCO validation workflow on the Verdin iMX95 running Torizon.

They’ll explore model accuracy, inference pipeline timing, performance bottlenecks, and how to determine which parts of a model are actually NPU-accelerated.

NXP Semiconductors

The toughest AI workloads demand Aquila.

Aquila IQ8 was created for computationally intensive AI, computer vision, robotics and industrial PC workloads. It gives advanced silicon a practical, rugged path into demanding field-deployed products.

As one of the first partners in the Works with Arduino program, Toradex enables developers to start today on Arduino VENTUNO Q and seamlessly transition to Aquila IQ8 for volume production.
