Every SoM comes with a makeshift Linux system. Every manufacturer must add OTA updates, security measures, remote access, GUI frameworks and more. That's a lot of duplicated work. This would be much more efficient, if a SoM maker provides a Linux with all the features ready for use by manufacturers. Toradex does this with Torizon. We show how manufacturers can benefit from this groundwork with minimal effort. Torizon even runs on non-Toradex SoMs. SoM = Solutions on Module.
Many embedded Linux systems use a Wayland compositor like Weston for window management. Qt applications act as Wayland clients. Weston composes the windows of the Qt applications into a single window and displays it on a screen. I still have

We keep the source code of our applications and libraries in private repositories. Quite a few SoM and terminal makers do the same with their Yocto layers and their additional software. We typically use a Docker container to build the
