Horw, Switzerland Toradex has started shipping
its Colibri iMX8X System on Module in the early
access program. This is Toradexs first Arm
Cortex-A35 based System on Module (SoM)
featuring the NXP i.MX 8X System on Chip (SoC).
The module is pin-compatible with the Colibri
family which includes NXP i.MX 7, i.MX 6, i.MX
6ULL and NVIDIA Tegra 2- and 3-based SoMs. In
addition to the common Colibri interface, the
Colibri iMX8X is the first module to introduce
dual channel LVDS, MIPI DSI display and a
quad-lane MIPI CSI-2 camera interface. The
module comes with up to four Cortex-A35 cores,
the Cortex-A35 is the most power-efficient 64-bit
Armv8-A processor, and its updated NEON can
accelerate computing loads such as Machine
Learning and Computer Vision.

The power-efficiency is further enhanced with low
power LPDDR4 RAM. An additional Cortex-M4F
microcontroller allows for offloading of
real-time tasks from the main cores, reaching
extreme low latency and jitter, alternatively it
can be used for additional power
optimizations. The Vivante GPU supports OpenGL
ES, OpenCL and Vulkan for advanced Graphics, or
to accelerate compute workloads such as Deep
Learning Inference. A version of the Colibri
iMX8X is also available with onboard Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth. It supports Dual-band 802.11ac 2x2
MU-MIMO Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5. The Colibri iMX8X
is designed for markets with high-reliability
requirements including industrial automation,
medical, and railway applications. The i.MX 8 SoC
is based on a 28nm advanced FDSOI silicon process
to increase MTBF and decrease soft error rates.
On board highly-reliable Flash Memory keeps the
system running for years. SafeAssure
failover-capable display controllers and other
safety-minded features allow the module to be
used in critical applications.

Toradex will provide a production-ready Yocto
Project based Linux BSP, including free
professional support. The Colibri iMX8X will also
support the upcoming Torizon Software Platform,
an easy-to-use industrial-grade Linux. It will
provide simple Over-the-Air and Security features
and allows for easy migration from Windows
Embedded Compact to Linux. An early preview of
Torizon can be found on Toradex Labs
website. Toradex is excited to work with its
extensive proven partner ecosystem to integrate
Software and Services on the Colibri iMX8X. About
Toradex Toradex is based in Switzerland with
offices around the world, offering Arm-based
system on modules (SoMs) and customized Single
Board Computers (SBCs). Powered by NXP i.MX
6, i.MX 7, i.MX 8 and Vybrid, and NVIDIA Tegra
Tegra 2, 3 and TK1 SoCs, these pin-compatible
SoMs offer scalability in terms of price,
performance, power consumption and I/Os.
Complemented by direct online sales and long-term
product availability, Toradex offers direct
premium support and ex-stock availability with
local warehouses.
