📄️ Boot function
The Launcher add-on streamlines how AIM-Linux devices boot, display branding, and start customer applications. Refer to the official guide for detailed procedures and examples: AIM-Linux AddOn Launcher.
📄️ Protocol
The Protocol add-on equips AIM-Linux gateways with the drivers, stacks, and configuration tools required to bridge OT field buses and IT services. Full documentation is available on the Advantech wiki: AIM-Linux AddOn Protocol.
📄️ Diagnostic
The Diagnostic add-on provides board health monitoring, stress tools, and automated reporting for AIM-Linux platforms. Reference documentation: AIM-Linux AddOn Diagnostic.
📄️ Multi-Screen Control
Advantech’s ARM platforms expose multiple display interfaces (HDMI, VGA/eDP, LVDS, DSI, eDP) that can be mixed and matched without rebuilding display drivers. Display topologies are selected through U-Boot environment variables, so switching between single- and dual-display layouts is as simple as updating configuration values and rebooting.
📄️ Security
The Security add-on hardens AIM-Linux devices with secure boot chains, credential management, and encrypted communication. Learn more at AIM-Linux AddOn Security.
📄️ Edge AI
The Edge AI add-on equips AIM-Linux platforms with accelerated inference pipelines, containerised deployment patterns, and integration templates for NVIDIA Jetson, NXP i.MX, and Qualcomm hardware. Refer to the official guide for detailed instructions: AIM-Linux AddOn Edge AI.
📄️ DeviceOn
This guide explains how to install and activate DeviceOn on AIM-Linux (RISC) platforms, including the required packages, zero-config service, and first-boot behaviour.
📄️ Qt Creator Integration
The Qt Creator add-on provides tooling for cross-compiling and deploying Qt 5 applications to AIM-Linux targets. Detailed workflow: Qt5 Creator Integration Guide.
