Feature descriptions

​
OTA

Complete over-the-air firmware and software updates with rollback protection and atomic operations. Supports both file-based updates and A/B root filesystem updates for fail-safe deployments.

​
Secure Boot

Hardware-backed secure boot enablement solutions including:
  • Thistle Verified Boot (TVB) - Linux kernel signature verification using Infineon OPTIGA™ Trust M secure element
  • Secure Boot - On-chip secure boot

​
Secure AI Model Deployment

Integrity and confidentiality protected deployment of AI/ML models to edge devices with cryptographic protection. Ensures model protection throughout the deployment pipeline, in transit and at rest on both server side and edge devices. Protect AI models from tampering and unauthorized extraction. Model files are cryptographically signed and encrypted until being loaded, maintaining trust in AI inference workloads at the edge.

​
Device Telemetry

Real-time device status monitoring, fleet health tracking, and operational data collection through the Thistle Control Center. Provides visibility into device connectivity, update status, and system metrics for comprehensive fleet management and analytics.

​
Secure Storage

Hardware-backed secure storage solutions for protecting sensitive data, keys, and credentials on edge devices. Provides tamper-resistant storage with cryptographic protection, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity even in untrusted environments.

​
Signing Service w/ External KMS

Enterprise-grade signing service integration with external Key Management Systems (KMS) for OTA, AI model and secure firmware signing operations. Enables secure centralized key management, hardware security module (HSM) integration, and compliance with enterprise security policies. Supports cloud-based KMS providers or on-premises HSM solutions for maximum flexibility and security control.
