Production Linux you declare once and ship everywhere.
Declare once and ship reproducible systems across leading silicon. Pre-integrated BSPs and validated AI SDKs keep teams focused on applications, not OS rework.
FEATURING HARDWARE FROM
Declarative configuration. Full-system reproducibility.
Define your platform once in avocado.yaml and generate the same signed artifact every time across supported targets. Avocado OS keeps compute workloads portable between silicon families without forcing your team to become distro maintainers.
The same artifact,
from first boot to OTA.
Avocado OS turns declarative config into repeatable delivery velocity, from first boot to OTA updates, without rebuilding your platform per board.
Map your need to the right OS
Reproducible, source-driven build
Smallest, most optimized image for my board
Full control of kernel, drivers, and device tree
CUDA and TensorRT without building the GPU stack
Fast evaluation and POC demos
Limited OS-engineering resources
Many product SKUs from one codebase
Aggressive hardening with the full security toolset
Minimal attack surface
Containerized AI apps on a simple host
Debian-based fits the fast-start needs. Yocto fits the build-rigor needs. Avocado OS is the only one that covers both.
Supported HardwareThe re-platform trap
Teams start on the vendor BSP. It boots fast and feels solved, until production, when the gaps hit at once: no atomic OTA, no signed rollback, no reproducible image, config drift across the fleet.
The fix is Yocto: becoming your own OS vendor. A build team, months of integration, and every app developer stuck behind slow BSP rebuilds.
The OS nobody set out to build becomes the critical path to ship.

The avoidable outcome
Long-term support that outlasts your product cycle
Hardware ships for a decade; upstream Linux does not. Avocado OS is maintained on a defined support window, so the OS under your product keeps getting security patches long after the board you launched on stops being new.
Maintained base OS and package feeds
Continuous delivery of security patches, CVE fixes, and dependency updates, pulled from feeds we maintain, not backported by your team.
Validated compatibility
Hardware-in-the-loop CI/CD tests every release against specific SoCs and supported integrations, so a patch never costs you a re-qualification cycle.
Standard LTS
4 years
Aligned with Yocto LTS. Ongoing patching, maintenance, and support.
Extended LTS
5 years
Adds hardware validation and critical CVE patching for longer product lifecycles.
Premium LTS
10 years
Roadmap-aligned support with proactive validation and upgrade guidance for mission-critical fleets.
LTS terms are quoted per contract. Support levels by plan are on the pricing page.
