Powered by NXP/Freescale i.MX 7: i.MX 7Solo and i.MX 7Dual Processors
The Colibri iMX7S and Colibri iMX7D are SODIMM sized System on Module that are based on NXP/Freescale i.MX 7Solo and i.MX 7Dual SoCs respectively. The dual core ARM® Cortex®-A7 runs a peak frequency of 1GHz, while the single core ARM® Cortex®-M4 has a peak frequency of 200MHz. In Colibri iMX7S, the single core Cortex-A7 has a peak frequency of 800MHz, while the single core Cortex-M4 runs at 200MHz. Both the SoCs support asymmetric or heterogeneous multi-core processing, in which the real time applications can run on the Cortex-M4, while the user applications are taken care by Cortex-A7. The SoCs consume very low power and supports advanced security features.
Suitable for wide range of Industrial IoT Applications
The modules are ideal for building connected devices with high performance and frugal power consumption, along with advanced security features.
Easy Performance Upgrade
This module is a member of the extensive pin-compatible Colibri family. So, existing customers using any module in the Colibri family can easily migrate to Colibri iMX7.

Latest Information on Colibri iMX7
You can find the latest information on Colibri iMX7 below.
Toradex offers free support and maintenance for Windows Embedded Compact, Embedded Linux, and FreeRTOS on the NXP i.MX 7 processor based Colibri iMX7 SoM. 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 QNX will be supported by our partners.
By virtue of the asymmetric multicore architecture of NXP i.MX 7, Colibri iMX7 is capable of running a real-time operating system such as FreeRTOS on the Cortex-M4, along with a feature-rich OS such as WinCE or Linux on the Cortex-A7. For the Cortex-M4, FreeRTOS support is offered in-house. Other OS support such as eCos, MQX, on Cortex M4 is offered by our partners.
Toradex Easy Installer
Toradex Colibri iMX7 modules come with the Beta version of Toradex Easy Installer which offers an easy one-click installation of either Linux or Windows BSPs.
For general information about the advantages and features, check our Toradex Easy Installer 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 the mainline. Colibri iMX7 comes pre-installed with Embedded Linux.
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 Colibri iMX7 Solo 256MB and Dual 512MB. 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.
A license for WEC 7 and 2013 is included in the price of Colibri iMX7 Solo 256MB and Colibri iMX7 Dual 512MB.
Notice: Colibri iMX7 Dual 1GB does not include a WEC license.
For general information about advantages and features, check our Windows Embedded Compact page.
FreeRTOS
FreeRTOS on Colibri iMX7 is supported directly by Toradex. FreeRTOS is ideal to run on the Cortex M4 core. The communication between Cortex M4 and Cortex A7 is achieved via Rpmsg.
For general information, check our FreeRTOS page.
QNX
QNX on Colibri iMX7 is supported by our service partner Triadem.
Triadem will be soon offering a QNX demo image for Colbiri iMX7.
