Toradex opens Geppetto prototyping toolbox
directly to developers
Altium (ASX:ALU) announces that Toradex, a leading embedded
computing solution provider, has licensed the Geppetto modular
design tool. Toradex users can now go straight from creating a
Toradex design, to manufacturing a working printed circuit board in
just one session from the Toradex website.

With Geppetto, Altium has simplified electronic engineering and
removed the barrier of entry for a new breed of product inventors.
Engineers and designers of all levels now have easy access to
modular prototyping and rapid production, propelling electronics
design for the emerging AI and IoT markets.
“The partnership with Altium allows everybody to create
customized boards using a web-based ‘drag and drop designer’, no
schematic and layout experience required! Currently supported are
the Verdin and Colibri SoMs featuring the latest NXP i.MX 6, i.MX 7
and i.MX 8M Mini Applications Processors. The collaboration also
extends into the software. Torizon, the open source easy-to-use
Linux platform, can be configured to support the custom boards
built with Geppetto,” said Daniel Lang, CMO, Toradex. “We look
forward to enabling even more modules such as the Verdin i.MX 8M
Plus featuring an integrated neural network accelerator for Machine
Learning applications.”
Geppetto is a free cloud-based design tool that opens the door
to electronics design for non-electrical engineers. Now Toradex
users can create Geppetto-based carrier board designs for Toradex
Computer-on-Modules and Single Board Computers in minutes, and have
it ready to ship from 7-20 working days.
“We are thrilled Toradex is choosing to give their users the
power of authorship and advanced design using Geppetto,” said W.
Gordon Kruberg, M.D., head of Modular Hardware, Altium, LLC.
“Geppetto is democratizing the path for electronics design.”
