1. Introduction
Hardware
The Colibri T30 is a SODIMM sized computer module based on the NVIDIA© Tegra 3 embedded
System-on-Chip (SoC). The Cortex A9 quad core CPU peaks at 1.4 GHz. The module delivers very
high CPU and graphic performance with minimum power consumption.
The Colibri T30 incorporates DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Switching) and Thermal
Throttling which enables the system to continuously adjust operating frequency and voltage in
response to changes in workload and temperature to achieve the best performance with the lowest
power consumption.
The integrated NVIDIA Graphics enables visually rich, smooth and fast user interfaces.
The module targets a wide range of applications, including: Digital Signage, Medical Devices,
Navigation, Industrial Automation, HMIs, Avionics, Entertainment System, POS, Data Acquisition, Thin
Clients, Robotics, Gaming and much more
It offers a wide range of interfaces from simple GPIOs, industry standard I2C and SPI buses through
to high speed USB 2.0 interfaces and a high speed memory bus. The HDMI interface makes it very
easy to connect large, full HD resolution displays.
Existing customers will benefit from an extremely easy migration path from the current Colibri PXAxxx
or Colibri T20 module range to the Colibri T30 – all Colibri modules are electrically pin compatible.
New customers will also appreciate the ability to select the Colibri module most suitable for their
application to achieve the optimum price/performance balance without the need to support different
carrier board designs.
Software
Initially, the Colibri T30 will be provided with an embedded Linux Image.
Additionally a Windows Embedded Compact Image is in the works and will be available soon.
Toradex works with partners in case you require another Operating System. For more information
