Power Dissipation
The power consumption is subject to variation, depending on the situation. Our estimation of the minimum and maximum power consumption is based on the lowest idle power consumption and the highest power consumption values during maximum load. Refer our developer article for more information.
(1) The Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module featured on the SoM is rated for an operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C. As this component is not deemed boot-critical, the SoM is still listed as an industrial temperature range product.
General: Some interfaces are available on pins that are not entirely compatible within the Colibri Computer on Module family. There are restrictions to using different interfaces simultaneously, please check the respective datasheet for exact details.
Colibri Carrier Boards
Colibri Evaluation Board
The Colibri Evaluation Board is designed to be a flexible development environment to explore and evaluate the functionality and performance of the entire Colibri product family and includes support for the additional/enhanced functionality on the Colibri T20 and Colibri T30, the Toradex modules which feature the NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 and Tegra 3 processors.
Iris Carrier Board
Iris is a compact carrier board for the Colibri family of computer-on-modules. Iris supports all modules in the Colibri product family, and includes support for the additional/enhanced functionality on the Colibri T20 and T30 products.
Viola Carrier Board
The Viola Carrier Board is targeted at cost sensitive applications which require a small form factor. Measuring just 74 mm x 74 mm, Viola is one of the smallest, lowest cost Single Board Computer (SBC) equivalent solutions on the market. Standard interfaces provided by the Colibri modules are supported by the Viola carrier board using a combination of real-world connectors, card slots and 2.54 mm pitch pin headers. Communication interfaces include USB 2.0 host and 100 Mbit Fast Ethernet. Support for common industrial interfaces including I2C, SPI, UART and GPIO makes the Viola carrier board perfectly suited for industrial and embedded applications.
Aster Carrier Board
Aster is a carrier board for the Colibri Family of Computer on Modules. Aster has been designed to allow fast prototyping and evaluation of solutions using industry proven Colibri SoM pin compatible product line.
