Toradex CE Libraries and Code Samples
Toradex CE Libraries
The Toradex Libraries are intended to support all major interfaces and Toradex OS extensions for your Windows CE environment.
The libraries are currently available for Colibri T20, T30, VFxx, iMX6, iMX7, as well as for Apalis T30 and iMX6 modules.
- Toradex CE Libraries, official Release
- Toradex CE Libraries, latest Preliminary version
- Release Notes and Roadmap
The ZIP file contains
- A dll containing all libraries
- static lib files for Visual Studio
- Header Files
- A *.chm help file containing the API reference.
The help file will give you an overview of the supported features as well as detailed reference information for all libraries.
Important Note: Windows normally blocks the content of .chm help files. When you open the file, you will only be able to see the navigation tree, but no content!
To enable the contents:
- Store the .chm file on a local folder (not a network drive)
- In the file explorer, right-click onto the file, and open the Properties dialog
- Press the Unblock button.
Source Code
Source Code for the libraries is available and can be obtained by purchasing the number of support hours given in the right-most column and then contacting us to arrange delivery.
You may request updates to source code for six months after the date of purchase.

Legacy Library API for VFxx
Important Note: There is no further development or support on these legacy libraries. We strongly recommend to use the new Toradex CE Libraries for VFxx and iMX6!
For compatibility reasons, we first implemented some of libraries with VF50 / VF61 support using the legacy API. This includes
- ClkLib, CoProcLib, GpioLib, I2cLib, ImgInfoLib, IntLib, KernelCallbackLib, MapRegLib
If you need to redownload old libraries please contact support@toradex.com
Only the Toradex Windows CE release V1.0 for Vybrid and later is supported by these legacy libraries.
Sample codes
We provide sample demo codes which enables user to quickly test the peripherals on Toradex CoMs.
| Sample Code | Description | Apalis T30 | Colibri T30 | Colibri T20 | PXA3xx | PXA270 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Camera Demo | Parallel camera interface demo project | f | f | f | - | - |
Camera demo project build setup:
- Download Windows CE Software Libraries for PXA and Tegra Modules.
- Extract the content in a directory.
- Keep CameraDemo project inside the LibsDemos directory.
- Copy \CameraTegra\VSproperty directory files to \wincelib_bin_V2_0bis_2868(Windows CE software library directory).
- If Toradex SDK is not installed, download and install SDK.
- Open the project(".sln" or ".vcproj") file in Visual studio 2008 and build the project.
NOTE: If you have any questions or feedback, please contact our support.
