Colibri VF61
The Colibri VF61 is a Toradex System on Module based on the NXP/Freescale Vybrid VF6xx SoC, and a member of the Colibri Family.
This page provides hardware design resources, documentation, revision history, erratas, compatibility details, and getting started guides for developers working with the Colibri VF61 module.
Getting Started
Recommendation for the First-Time Order
Colibri VF61 is currently in a last-time buy phase and is approaching end-of-life (EOL). Therefore, we do not recommend starting new projects based on Vybrid platforms. Instead, we suggest using newer SoCs. For more information, please refer to the Revision History section.

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
Colibri VFxx - Specific 3D Mechanical Models
The Colibri VFxx 3D model is simplified and contains only the PCB and the CPU. It is 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. Please use the Generic Colibri 3D Mechanical Models with the maximum component height for testing the mechanical fit. This ensures the mechanical design fits all current Colibri modules as well as future releases.

Product Number (PID8) Format
The format of the 8-digits Product Number (PID8) is the following:
The below table describes the structure of the Product Number (PID8):
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| PPPP | 4-digits number, indicating the Product Configuration (PID4) that describes the key properties of the product (e.g. Product Group, RAM capacity, etc.) |
| VV | 2-digits number, indicating the Major and Minor Version (in that order) |
| AA | 2-digits number, indicating the Assembly Variant |
See the complete list of available combinations on the Revision History table of the corresponding product page.
Example
Product number (PID8): 00291100:
0029: Apalis iMX6D 512MB
11: Major Version 1, Minor Version 1, Version V1.1 in short
00: Assembly Variant A
