Webinar: Build your own Embedded Carrier Board, easily!

In this webinar, we show you how easy it is to design your own embedded carrier board for Toradex's computer on modules. We begin by showing the differences between the Toradex computer on module families with a focus on the new Verdin computer on module family.
We will guide you through the wide range of reference schematics and design guides provided by Toradex.
The Toradex Pinout Designer is a powerful tool for configuring the pin muxing of Colibri, Apalis, and Verdin modules. The tool allows comparing the interface of different modules. In this webinar, we are introducing the new cloud-based version and walk you through the different features.
We are going to provide insights on selecting the right components for a design with long-term availability. Finally, we reveal how Toradex does schematic reviews on the base of a netlist base. This has proven to be a key factor in getting the first version right.
Key takeaways:

• Mastering the selection of the best suitable Toradex computer on module for your next project
• Get to know the Toradex reference designs
• Understand the functions of the Pinout Designer
• Get a front-row seat to Toradex hardware developers revealing how they do component selection and schematic reviews
• Have your questions answered by hardware development experts

Webinar: Python in One Hour

Python has become enormously popular as a programming language because it's so quick-and-easy to use. People often remark that a Python program looks like pseudo-code, an English language description of what the code is meant to do. Python is widely used for scripting tool flows, for software test, and for automating small tasks, as well as for web programming and scientific computing. It has even been used for electronic system modeling and digital hardware verification.
This webinar will get you started with Python. You can expect to learn about:

• The basics of the Python language
• What makes Python different from other programming languages
• The richness of the Python libraries and add-on packages

Webinar: Jumpstart cloud-connected computer vision and ML designs

Deep Learning and artificial intelligence (AI) advancements enable manufacturers to leverage many new vision-based capabilities to control quality, manage supply and demand, classify and sort, and ground-truth validation for factory and process automation. AWS, Toradex, and NXP are collaborating to simplify the development of computer vision and machine learning solutions for IoT devices at the edge, even when the cloud connectivity is not available. This webinar demonstrates the Toradex Apalis AI Vision Starter Kit with NXP i.MX 8QuadMax Application Processor. This kit allows you to quickly recognize different kinds of objects leveraging AWS SageMaker Neo and AWS IoT Greengrass. The same platform can then be quickly retrained to recognize any object, even if it is in motion.

The AI Vision Starter Kit includes a camera and a Toradex System on Module that identifies and classifies objects, such as on an assembly line. This kit uses industrial-grade hardware and software that can be the starting point for your next project. The optimized machine learning model runs on the local device, with cloud connectivity for remote maintenance, business tool access, and over-the-air (OTA) updating. We use the Linux-based Torizon platform and AWS IoT Greengrass to connect to the cloud via MQTT.

Key Takeaways:

• Jumpstart your vision-enabled, connected device development
• Learn about the newest hardware and software architecture for Industry 4.0 devices
• Experience how the Toradex Apalis System on Modules simplify development with NXP i.MX 8QuadMax processors
• Leverage AWS SageMaker Neo to optimize a Deep Neural Network that runs at the edge
• Utilize AWS IoT Greengrass to connect to cloud services

Attendees who complete the full registration details and attend will be entered for the chance to win one of two AWS-enabled AI Vision Starter Kits (estimated value USD $500)*.

Getting Started with Yocto: Meeting the challenge of Embedded Linux deployment

Toradex's partner, Doulos, brings forth an interesting training webinar, which delves into how a minimal Linux system can be extended to include custom, packaged software. Doulos demonstrates how standard Linux tools, such as gdbserver or the Target Communication Framework agent (TCF agent), drops out of the build system and can be used in a stand-alone SDK. In the process, key concepts of the Yocto Project build system such as recipes, tasks, and layers will be introduced. A board from the Toradex Colibri Arm family of System on Modules will be used as an example platform.
The webinar covers the following topics:

• Managed Linux distributions
• The Yocto build system
• Creating custom software packages
• Application development and systems development SDKs
• Example BSP support
