Hello John,

Thank you for reaching out with your questions about Torizon OS. Let’s address each of your concerns:

  1. Device Boot and Provisioning Timeout: When using Torizon with easy pairing, the device initially waits for provisioning, which is why it doesn’t boot into a typical Linux OS with a command line or UI. If the provisioning process times out, it might be due to network issues or incorrect configuration. To troubleshoot, ensure your device has a stable internet connection and that the pairing code is correctly entered. You can also check logs via the serial console or SSH to diagnose further.

  2. Compatibility with Visual Studio: Torizon OS is indeed compatible with Visual Studio through the Torizon IDE extension. This extension allows you to configure and develop applications for Torizon using Visual Studio. Make sure you have the latest version of the extension installed and that your development environment is correctly set up to work with Torizon.

  3. OTA Updates and Pairing/Cloud: While pairing and cloud services facilitate OTA updates by managing devices and deployments, they are not strictly necessary. Torizon supports both remote and offline updates, allowing you to update devices in the field without cloud services if preferred. However, using the cloud can simplify the management of multiple devices.

  4. Role of TorizonCore: TorizonCore is the base OS for Torizon, designed to support containerized applications and provide robust update mechanisms. It simplifies development by allowing you to focus on application development rather than OS maintenance. TorizonCore’s use of containers and OSTree/Aktualizr for updates makes it well-suited for both development and field updates, ensuring your devices remain secure and up-to-date.

I hope this helps clarify your questions. If you have any more inquiries, feel free to ask.

Best regards,
