Your computer vision prototype works beautifully: USB camera on a Jetson dev kit, software humming, investors impressed. Production isn’t that convenient. It brings MIPI‑CSI buses, custom kernel drivers, device‑tree overlays—and complexity most teams meet too late. This talk walks the real path from prototype to product: why JetPack breaks down at scale, why jumping to raw Yocto can create long‑term maintenance debt, and how a third approach keeps a fast development loop while shipping reliably. We’ll show how Peridio and Avocado OS provide that path: a production‑grade platform that manages the kernel, BSP, and device lifecycle so you can deploy and update CV devices at scale without becoming embedded Linux experts. Learn to absorb rising hardware complexity—from dev‑kit camera modules to off‑the‑shelf systems to fully custom carrier boards—while your team stays focused on the software that drives business value.

Justin Schneck
Co-Founder and CTO, Peridio
Justin Schneck is Co-Founder and CTO of Peridio, where he leads the development of Avocado OS, an open-source, production-grade embedded Linux distribution built in collaboration with the Linux Foundation. Most teams building physical AI and edge devices hit a wall between prototype and production—months lost rebuilding custom Linux systems, debugging over-the-air (OTA) failures and wrestling with security compliance instead of shipping product. Avocado OS eliminates that gap, giving teams a single OS they can prototype on and ship in production, with immutable runtimes, atomic updates and built-in security from day one. Before founding Peridio, Justin co-created the Nerves Project, the open-source platform that brought Elixir and the Erlang runtime to embedded systems. His career began with a simple question—could he start his motorcycle from his phone?—and that curiosity has driven over a decade of work making hardware development faster and more accessible.
