Mar 14, 2017: Toradex extends it successful Colibri family of System on Modules with the upcoming Colibri iMX6ULL (toradex.com). It is the first Colibri module with optional certified Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity on-board. The module is a secure and low power solution for connected IoT applications, including edge devices and IoT gateways.
The new Colibri module is based on NXP’s i.MX 6ULL application processor, the latest addition to the popular i.MX6 family. Colibri i.MX 6ULL features a single core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU optimized for low power and cost. The Colibri iMX6ULL includes state of the art security features like ARM® TrustZone®, encryption engines and a secure boot option. The display interface supports resolutions up to 1366 x 768 and an RMII interface allows adding a second Ethernet port.
The available on-board Wi-Fi solution supports dual-band 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n Wi-Fi in the 2.4GHz and 5 GHz bands with up to 300Mbits/s transfer speeds. Simultaneous station and access point mode are supported for broad Wi-Fi application use cases. Additionally, it features the latest Bluetooth 4.2/BLE (Dual-Mode) standards to connect low power sensors or other devices such as smartphones, tablets or PCs. The Colibri iMX6ULL comes with full wireless certifications for several countries to lower initial costs and time to market.
Colibri iMX6ULL fits seamlessly into the Colibri family ecosystem and will work with all Toradex Colibri carrier boards. The module inherits the ruggedness of the Colibri family of System on Modules which have been used in many demanding applications since 2005. Toradex offers the Colibri iMX6ULL with an industrial temperature range option (-40° to 85°C) and availability until at least 2028.
As with all Toradex Modules, the Colibri i.MX6ULL comes with renowned Toradex support and an extensive solution ecosystem. The ecosystem includes a wide variety of off-the-shelf carrier boards and proven design partners who offer fully customized carrier boards. Many 3rd-party software companies like The Qt Company or Crank Software offer optimized software for a better out-of-the-box experience and improved performance.
