Tria launches embedded software platform for security and lifecycle management
Tria Technologies, an Avnet company specialising in embedded computing, has launched Tria Embedded Kit, a software platform designed to simplify the development, security and long-term maintenance of embedded systems.
The platform addresses the challenges of supporting industrial products that can remain in service for 10–15 years, particularly as manufacturers prepare for the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). Maintaining board support packages (BSPs), operating systems and applications with regular security updates can require more effort than the initial hardware design.
Tria Embedded Kit combines modular BSPs, optional operating systems, security tools and engineering services to help manufacturers accelerate development and manage software throughout a product’s lifecycle.
Its minimalist BSP architecture removes unnecessary dependencies between software meta-layers, giving developers greater control over their software stack rather than imposing a predefined configuration.
BSP and Linux support
The platform currently supports NXP i.MX processors and Intel platforms, with Qualcomm support planned for early 2027.
Designed with the CRA in mind, Tria Embedded Kit provides quarterly security updates and supports two parallel Yocto long-term support (LTS) versions through a GitLab-based orchestration platform.
Developers can use their own software or adopt Tria OS for Linux, a production-ready operating system featuring secure boot, secure storage and over-the-air (OTA) updates.
Additional tools and services include:
Tria CVE: Generates software bills of materials (SBOMs) and provides vulnerability management, including false-positive detection to simplify security maintenance.
Tria Fleet: Supports remote device provisioning, monitoring, configuration and OTA updates.
Tria SuperCare: Provides outsourced platform maintenance, vulnerability management and regression testing on customer hardware.
Tria Engineering Services: Offers custom development, training and consultancy.
The platform targets long-life connected products in industrial automation, robotics, commercial and agricultural vehicles, and other industrial applications. Tria aims to provide a single technology partner for hardware selection, customisation, validation, deployment and ongoing software maintenance.
