Tria Launches Tria Embedded Kit to Tackle Embedded Software Security and Lifecycle Challenges
New modular Yocto Linux offering debuts at electronica 2026, helping manufacturers manage development, cybersecurity and long-term maintenance.
Tria Technologies, an Avnet company specialising in embedded compute solutions, launches the Tria Embedded Kit at electronica 2026, a brand-new offering that lays the software foundation for its extensive embedded hardware portfolio. The platform is designed to build, secure and maintain embedded systems.
As industrial products remain in service for 10 to 15 years, software maintenance has become an increasingly important consideration for equipment manufacturers because of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements. The effort required to maintain BSPs, operating systems and applications through security updates can exceed that of the initial hardware design-in. Tria Embedded Kit helps customers reduce and manage this complexity throughout the product lifecycle.It combines state-of-the-art board support package (BSP) with optional OS and security tools as well as engineering services for Tria’s embedded hardware portfolio, helping device makers start application work sooner and support products throughout their operational lives.
Tria's new minimalist BSP gives manufacturers maximum control over their software architecture by eliminating unnecessary dependencies between meta-layers. Rather than imposing a predefined software stack, the modular approach enables developers to customize their environment.
“Embedded software can no longer be treated as a one-off design task,” said Daniel Denzler, Vice President, Tria Technologies. “Manufacturers need to keep products secure, updateable and supported for years after launch, without surrendering control of their technology stack. Tria Embedded Kit includes BSPs with long-term update commitments, security-hardened, production ready Tria OS, and tools for vulnerability and fleet management.”
New Tria BSP and Tria OS for Linux available now
Today, support already covers NXP i.MX processors as well as Intel platforms, with Qualcomm support planned for early 2027.
Developed with the EU Cyber Resilience Act in mind, the platform includes quarterly security updates and support for two parallel Yocto long-term support (LTS) versions available through the GitLab orchestration platform.
Customers can use their own software or build on top of Tria OS for Linux, a production ready operating system that includes secure boot, secure storage, and over-the-air (OTA) updates.
Other software tools and services include:
· Tria CVE for software bill of materials generation and advanced vulnerability management, tailored to embedded systems, with advanced false positive detection for faster maintenance throughout the product lifecycle.
· Tria Fleet for remote device provisioning, monitoring, configuration, and OTA updates.
· Tria SuperCare service to outsource platform maintenance, vulnerability management and regression testing on customers’ hardware.
· Tria Engineering Services for custom development, training and consulting by industry specialists
The platform targets long-lived connected products in industrial automation, robotics, commercial and agricultural vehicles, and many other industrial applications. Tria’s software specialists work alongside its compute-platform teams, enabling customers to address hardware selection, customisation, validation, deployment and maintenance with one technology partner.
