Android 16
Specifically, for Android, while support for version 13 of the OS is currently available, Android 16 is planned for Q4 2026, says Tria.
The release brings mobile capabilities to long lifetime industrial applications, such as rugged tablets and field service devices. For example, for oil and gas, robotics, and other harsh operating environments.
Linux
For Yocto Linux, the release is based on Qualcomm Linux 1.7 as a platform BSP and Linux 6.6 LTS kernel. The software stack can be built and customised using the Yocto Scarthgap framework and MSC LDK, highlights Tria.
This is to deliver the tooling, drivers, and software components needed for application deployment.
Note that Ubuntu support is also available, upon request, through Tria.
Windows 11 IoT on ARM
Finally, Tria is also now shipping Windows 11 IoT boards based on the Qualcomm UEFI bootloader. It means you can deploy Windows on ARM in embedded and industrial environments.
The release also introduces support for the AMI UEFI Firmware, bringing expanded features such as NVMe boot, with more extensions planned later this year.
“With an unprecedented range of support, Tria customers can choose the operating system that best suits their application while unlocking the benefits of ARM-based hardware,” said Christian Bauer, Product Marketing Manager at Tria Technologies. “Each OS offers distinct advantages. By providing support across our range of Qualcomm boards, customers can retain their preferred operating system while enjoying improved performance and efficiency, broader application potential, and integrated AI acceleration at competitive price points.”
