Konsulko to extend Orca OS support to NVIDIA Jetson Thor; creates new live tutorial

Konsulko Group™ is today announcing

• Konsulko Orca OS™ support for NVIDIA Jetson Thor AGX Developer Kit, including NVIDIA JetPack 7.2 with upstream Yocto Project support
• A new live tutorial of Secure Boot and On-Target Update running on real NVIDIA Jetson Thor AGX hardware

Konsulko Group is an embedded Linux engineering services company, focussing on both software and hardware. Our engineers have made significant contributions to open source communities, including the Linux kernel, Yocto Project, OpenEmbedded and U-Boot. 

Over the years, Konsulko has provided production-ready, secure, and robust embedded Linux solutions on NVIDIA platforms for our customers building cutting-edge devices. 

The Platform for the Edge

Last November we announced Konsulko Orca OS, a Yocto Project-based Linux distribution optimized for NVIDIA Jetson Orin platforms. Now Orca OS will support the new Jetson Thor-based platforms as well.

Orca OS is sold to Konsulko customers as part of a services engagement. Please contact Konsulko Group for more information.

New Live Tutorial

Konsulko engineers have developed a stand-alone, live tutorial of Secure Boot and On-Target Update running on real NVIDIA Jetson Thor AGX hardware. This is not a simulation, but a real-time demonstration requiring specific Jetson Thor hardware. 

This tutorial can be delivered to interested Konsulko customers and qualified prospects. If you would like to run this tutorial yourself on your own Thor AGX hardware, please contact us to discuss your Jetson-based project. 

We have also created a complete video of the tutorial while it was running live in our labs. This is available today for everyone to view.

About Yocto Project

The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project that helps developers create custom Linux-based systems regardless of the hardware architecture.

The project provides a flexible set of tools and a space where embedded developers worldwide can share technologies, software stacks, configurations, and best practices that can be used to create tailored Linux images for embedded and IOT devices, or anywhere a customized Linux OS is needed. 

Konsulko Orca OS is built on the Yocto Project, as are many of Konsulko’s solutions for NVIDIA platforms.

Full official Yocto Project support from NVIDIA

As just announced, starting with NVIDIA JetPack 7.2, NVIDIA delivers official Yocto Project support for Jetson developers, providing validated recipes and tools. Yocto Project on Jetson enables custom Linux distributions that optimize system performance, while bit-for-bit reproducibility ensures deterministic builds. You can build your production-ready applications on Yocto Project with confidence.
