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.
Highlights
Built for Volume
The Viola Carrier board is the ideal solution for industrial and embedded applications. Designed with cost optimization in mind for small and medium production runs, it's perfectly suited for volume production. Whether you're manufacturing a small batch or scaling up, the Ixora Carrier board is the reliable choice for your project.
Industrial Carrier Board
The Viola Industrial Carrier Board is optimized for robust environments. It offers optocouplers, industrial interfaces like RS-485, and isolated I/O, as well as an extended temperature range from -40° to +85° C.
Torizon - The Easy-To-Use Industrial Linux Platform
Viola is supported by Torizon, Toradex's Easy-to-Use Industrial Linux Platform. It allows you to Modernize your Development and Maintenance. Torizon is easy to use, secure, and reliable thanks to full-stack integration from the cloud to the hardware.
