Colibri iMX6, Colibri iMX8 product group or a transition to the Verdin product family.

Highlights

Powered by NVIDIA: Tegra 2 Dual Core Processor

The Colibri T20 is a SODIMM sized computer module based on the NVIDIA© Tegra 2 embedded system-on-a-chip. The Cortex A9 dual core CPU peaks at 1 GHz. The module delivers high CPU and graphic performance with minimum power consumption. The module also meets stringent industrial temperature range.

Designed in Switzerland. Made in Germany.

The integrated NVIDIA Graphics enables visually rich, smooth and fast user interfaces.

Supreme Graphics Performance for Demanding Applications

The module targets a wide range of applications, including: Digital Signage, Medical Devices, Navigation, Industrial Automation, HMIs, Avionics, Entertainment System, POS, Data Acquisition, Thin Clients, Robotics, Gaming and much more

It offers a wide range of interfaces from simple GPIOs, industry standard I2C and SPI buses through to high speed USB 2.0 interfaces and a high speed memory bus. The HDMI interface makes it very easy to connect large, full HD resolution displays.

Easy Performance Upgrade

Existing customers will benefit from an extremely easy migration path from the current Colibri PXAxxx module range to the Colibri T20 – all Colibri modules are electrically pin compatible. New customers will also appreciate the ability to select the Colibri module most suitable for their application to achieve the optimum price/performance balance without the need to support different carrier board designs.

Operating Systems

Toradex offers free support and maintenance for Windows Embedded Compact and Embedded Linux on the NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor based Colibri T20 SoMs. This allows system designers to focus the application only, instead of focusing also on the OS and low-level device drivers. Other OS such as Android will be supported by our partners.


Linux

Embedded Linux

Toradex carries out in-house development and maintenance of a Yocto project-compatible production-quality Embedded Linux BSP. Our extensive documentation and support makes sure your product reaches market in time. Full source code and Toradex developments are up-streamed into mainline.

For general information about the advantages and features, check our Embedded Linux page.
