London, United Kingdom. During Microelectronics UK 2025, Peridio demonstrated its free, open-source Avocado OS and highlighted its capabilities to accelerate development for Linux platform-based edge AI devices.
Justin Schneck, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Peridio, offered, “Embedded developers have always been caught in a dilemma - either choose a packaged Linux distro which you can get to work with in a heartbeat, but which is difficult to scale and secure in volume production, or build your own security-hardened, scalable distro, and grapple with the full-spectrum difficulty of working with the Yocto Project. Now the Avocado OS platform resolves the dilemma - and the demo at Microelectronics UK allows developers to look under the hood.”
Visitors witnessed an edge AI application built on the Avocado OS, an embedded Linux distribution, and running on a Qualcomm Dragonwing QCM6490 chipset. Also available was the same application leveraging an Nvidia Jetson Orin AI processor module.
The side-by-side demonstrations prove the ease of the Avocado OS seamless migration of Linux based applications from one hardware target to another while also being security-hardened and scalable for bulk production.
Being built on a composable architecture allows the Avocado OS to organize functionality into distinct layers. According to the press release, the core OS layer offers an immutable, secure foundation, while extension layers enable the addition of functional modules without compromising system integrity.
Key Features:
- Immutable and deterministic runtimes
- Fault tolerance
- Modular update mechanisms
- Simplified secure boot implementation
- Full disk encryption
- Boot modes for manufacturing, recovery, and testing
- Live NFS-mounted extensions which allow code changes to be reflected instantly on target hardware without lengthy rebuilds or flashing cycles
