DSOS
From SpinetiX Support Wiki

Introduction
DSOS™ by SpinetiX™ is a lightweight, secured operating system designed for digital signage players, especially for demands of defense, financial, cruise vessel and other high-availability scenarios. Native to the SpinetiX players (HMP and iBX), DSOS also brings embedded system design to the Intel ecosystem, ideal for fanless architectures like Intel Goldmont, but scalable to i5, i7 or i9 when maximum performance matters. See the supported hardware platforms below.
Regarding the content management, the default DSOS configuration includes the access to the SpinetiX ARYA™ cloud CMS, available with a zero-cost discovery option and first-line support via online chat. More features can be unlocked on the supported devices with one of the DSOS licenses detailed below.
Regarding the operating system updates, the security patches and the rendering engine improvements are delivered together, using a tightly integrated remote update service, thus avoiding unexpected content failures commonly experienced with desktop operating systems. Find more details on the DSOS release notes page.
Supported hardware platforms
SpinetiX’s Digital Signage Operating System (DSOS™) has been validated on the following hardware platforms:
SpinetiX players
The purpose-built design and unique durability of SpinetiX's hardware ensure low maintenance and operation costs. Our players are engineered from the ground-up with audiovisual (AV) installations in mind.
Third-party players
As a member of Intel® IoT Solutions Alliance, SpinetiX collaborates with third-party player manufacturers to bring our digital signage technology and expertise to users relying on Intel-based architectures.
Looking to purchase one of the above players with DSOS™ already installed and built-in access to SpinetiX ARYA™ cloud CMS? Please check with our partners for the availability of these players.
Security at the core
Remote monitoring and management of endpoints is built-in to the DSOS stack, working alongside Intel vPro® to support single-truck-roll deployments, commissioning, maintenance and decommissioning. Device security is further enhanced with UEFI Secure Boot support. Cloud communications are secured using the TPM or Intel TPP. User content is secured against device theft, with DSOS disk partitions cryptographically signed.
DSOS is maintained by a dedicated engineering team at SpinetiX with more than a decade of experience in designing firmware for hardened, secure digital signage players.
