Design Resources
Toradex provides two different 3D models for Colibri Systems on Module:
Generic Colibri 3D Mechanical Models: This model has the maximum component height for testing the mechanical fit. This ensures the mechanical design fits all current Colibri modules as well as future releases.
- Specific Colibri 3D Mechanical Models: These models are simplified models of the respective Colibri module. They contain only the PCB and the CPU and are intended to be used for heat spreader or heat sink designs. The CPU height is a typical value. Due to production tolerances, the actual height of the assembled component can be different.
Generic Colibri 3D Mechanical Models
The generic Colibri 3D model contains the PCB and the maximum component height on top and bottom of modules from the Colibri Module Family. This model should be used to test the mechanical fit, ensuring that the mechanical design fits all current Colibri modules as well as future releases.
- SolidWorks CAD model 3D EASM model
- You can download the free eDrawings model viewer from SolidWorks here
- 3D STEP model that can be opened and modified in any 3D CAD
- 3D PDF model that can be opened in Adobe Reader

Toradex-Supported Windows Embedded Compact (EOL)
Torizon OS with containers has limited performance on the Colibri iMX6. Toradex recommends using the Torizon OS Yocto Reference Minimal Image for such scenarios.
Windows CE is EOL. Refer to WinEC Affected Modules EOL - Migration Guide for more information.
Development Resources
Installing the Operating System
Toradex products come with Toradex Easy Installer pre-installed. Once you power-on the board, it will display a list of available images to be installed. Check out how to get started with the Toradex Easy Installer:
You might need to enter recovery mode:
You can also install the compatible pre-built images available for download:
Connecting to the Board
During development, you will need to communicate the board with your host machine:
