Colibri iMX6
The Colibri iMX6 is a SODIMM sized computer module based on NXP®/Freescale i.MX 6 SoC. The module targets a wide range of applications, including: 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, SPI, CAN, and UART buses through to high speed USB 2.0 interfaces and a 16/32bit external memory bus (parallel bus). The HDMI interface makes it very easy to connect large, full HD resolution displays.

Powered by NXP® i.MX 6: i.MX 6 DualLite and i.MX 6 Solo Processors
The Colibri iMX6 is a SODIMM sized computer module that comes in both dual core and single core versions with CPUs based on NXP (formerly Freescale) i.MX6DL and NXP i.MX6S SoCs respectively. The Cortex A9 dual core and single core CPU peaks at 1 GHz for commercial temperature variant, while the industrial temperature variant has a peak frequency of 800 MHz.
The Colibri iMX6 incorporates DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling) and Thermal Throttling that enable the system to continuously adjust operating frequency and voltage in response to changes in workload and temperature to achieve the best performance with the lowest power consumption.
Suitable for wide range of Industrial Applications
The NXP (formerly Freescale) i.MX 6 based Colibri iMX6 System on Module targets a wide range of applications, including: Industrial Automation, Medical Devices, Test and Measurement, Specialty Vehicles, Transportation Building Automation and much more.
It offers a wide range of interfaces from simple GPIOs, industry standard I2C, SPI, CAN, and UART buses through to high speed USB 2.0 interfaces and a 16/32bit external memory bus (parallel bus). The HDMI interface makes it very easy to connect large, full HD resolution displays.
Easy Performance Upgrade
This module is a member of the extensive pin-compatible Colibri family. Its easy to scale performance and price with Modules such as the Colibri iMX6ULL, iMX7 or iMX8X.
The Colibri iMX6 System on Module encapsulates the complexity associated with modern day electronic design, such as high speed impedance controlled layouts with high component density utilising blind and buried via technology. This allows the customer to create a carrier board which implements the application specific electronics generally being much less complicated.
Latest Information on Colibri iMX6
You can find the latest information on Colibri iMX6 at the Toradex Developer Center.
Toradex Developer CenterOperating Systems
Toradex offers free support and maintenance for Windows Embedded Compact and Embedded Linux on the NXP i.MX 6 processor based Colibri and Apalis iMX6 SoMs. This allows system designers to focus the application instead of focusing on the OS and low-level device drivers. Other OS such as QNX and Android are supported by our partners.
Torizon
Torizon is a new Linux-based software platform that simplifies the process of developing and maintaining embedded software. It allows you to configure the system for your use case quickly and easily, so you can focus on application development instead of Linux builds.
For general information about the advantages and features, check our Torizon page.
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.
Windows Embedded Compact
Windows Embedded Compact 7 and 2013 are supported on both Colibri and Apalis iMX6. The development and maintenance is carried out in-house by Toradex. WEC allows you to use Microsoft .Net Compact Framework and Visual Studio. Microsoft is providing support and updates for Embedded Compact 2013 until year 2028.
The price of the Colibri and Apalis iMX6 modules includes a runtime license for Windows Embedded Compact 2013 Entry (C13Entry) which is backward compatible to earlier Windows CE versions.
For general information about advantages and features, check our Windows Embedded Compact page.
QNX
QNX on NXP i.MX 6-based modules is supported by our service partner Triadem.
Triadem will be soon offering a QNX demo image for Colbiri iMX6.
