Advanced Arm-Based Embedded Systems and Systems on Modules (SoMs)

The Colibri Arm family represents a range of powerful and scalable Computer on Modules (SoMs) designed for embedded applications. These modules leverage NXP i.MX series and NVIDIA Tegra SoCs, offering flexible solutions that can scale in processing power from 200 MHz up to 1.4 GHz. This versatility makes them suitable for a wide array of projects, from cost-effective headless applications to demanding multimedia and graphics-intensive tasks.

These SoMs are ideal for developers looking for integrated solutions that simplify hardware design and accelerate time-to-market. With features like 3D GPUs, dedicated encoders and decoders, and Image Signal Processors (ISPs), the Colibri family excels in multimedia processing, making them perfect for industrial automation, digital signage, HMI systems, and IoT devices where robust visual processing is key.

The Colibri i.MX6 and i.MX6ULL variants offer cost-effective performance for lighter multimedia needs and headless operations, while other modules in the family provide higher CPU and graphics capabilities for more demanding applications, all while maintaining low power consumption. Evaluation boards are available to facilitate the exploration and development of these versatile modules.
