06 April 2016, Redwood City, California: Gumstix® Inc., the leader in design-to-order embedded systems, announces its partnership with Toradex to provide support for Colibri iMX6 System on Modules (SoMs) in the Geppetto® Design-to-Order (D2O) platform created by Gumstix engineers. Using Geppetto, Toradex customers can rapidly design and manufacture small form-factor boards tailored to the Colibri iMX6 series of SoMs powered by the ARM® Cortex-A9 family of CPUs, including the NXP®/Freescale i.MX 6 processors.

The Geppetto design-to-order carrier board service further fortifies the popular Colibri ecosystem. Gumstix’s Colibri iMX6 Dev Board is a multifunctional evaluation platform for the Toradex Colibri iMX6 SoM. Customers can clone the Gumstix Colibri iMX6 Dev Board into their Geppetto workspace and drag-and-drop hardware modules to jumpstart their custom design or they can build and order an expansion board for the Colibri iMX6 from scratch to fit exactly their custom design needs.

The Gumstix Dev Board for the Toradex Colibri iMX6 SoM designed in Geppetto D2O provides connections for Ethernet, USB and multimedia devices, as well as a bootable MicroSD card slot. The multimedia connections include: HDMI interface, a 4.3” Newhaven resistive touch screen connector and audio input and output headers.
