Colibri iMX7
The Colibri iMX7S and Colibri iMX7D are SODIMM-sized System on Modules (SoMs) based on the NXP i.MX 7Solo and i.MX 7Dual SoCs respectively. Arm Cortex-A7 cores are highly optimized for energy efficiency while delivering high performance. Advanced security features make the Colibri iMX7 a great choice for connected devices. Typical applications include power-sensitive edge computing devices, IoT gateways, medical devices, industrial automation and many more. The NXP i.MX 7 uses an asymmetric, heterogeneous multicore processing system with a Cortex-M4 core that runs at up to 200MHz.
Highlights
Powered by NXP i.MX 7
Equipped with NXP i.MX 7S and NXP i.MX 7D SoCs, the Arm Cortex-A7 cores are clocked at 1GHz, making it an ideal choice for powerful yet efficient applications.
Hard real-time-ready
The heterogeneous multicore architecture allows the offloading of critical hard real-time tasks to the Cortex M4 for extremely low latency. Toradex provides tooling and FreeRTOS to simplify development. You can also use the asymmetric multicore architecture for a connected low power mode.
Power-optimized
The NXP i.MX 7 SoC is a power-efficient processor. In addition, the Heterogeneous Multicore Processing (HMP) provided by the Cortex-M4 allows for a low-power mode where the Cortex-A is shutdown to greatly reduce the power consumption.
Toradex Colibri Computer Module Family
Carrier boards designed for the Colibri iMX7 are not just compatible between the three Colibri iMX7 modules—in fact, they are compatible with the complete Colibri family, including the NXP i.MX 8X, i.MX 6 and NVIDIA Tegra-based modules. This gives you unmatched flexibility and easy upgradability. Currently, there are eight different modules with over 20 variations available. To make carrier board design as easy as possible, we provide the Toradex Pinout Designer Tool.
Operating Systems
Toradex offers free support and maintenance for Embedded Linux and Windows CE on the Colibri iMX7 SoMs. This allows system designers to focus on 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.
FreeRTOS
Toradex enables NXP’s FreeRTOS on Colibri iMX7. FreeRTOS is a real-time OS that runs on the Cortex-M4 core in parallel to the main OS.
Android
Android on Colibri iMX7 is supported by our service partner Kynetics. An evaluation BSP is provided free of charge as a binary installer directly on Toradex Easy Installer feeds.
QNX

Ecosystem
To get your product to market fast, with low risk and low engineering costs, you need more than just a System on Module with a stable operating system or BSP. We understand this, which is why we at Toradex are collaborating with a wide range of partners to make your life easier. Here are a few highlights. To find more, browse our Developer Page and take a look at our Partner Network.
Toradex Easy Installer
Toradex Easy Installer allows you to install an OS in one click. It comes preinstalled from the factory, so all you need to do is turn on your on Colibri iMX7 and choose an OS!
Learn MoreEasy-to-use Rich Graphical User Interfaces
Colibri iMX7 does not have a GPU. Nevertheless, choosing a GUI framework that supports optimized graphics on the CPU is a great choice for a modern UI with moderate level of animations. Toradex partners closely with leading GUI technology providers to simplify the development process and make sure that hardware resources are utilized effectively.
Qt Framework
Qt is available on Toradex Easy Installer and as Debian containers for Torizon, making it easy to get started with Qt on any embedded device.
