Getting Started

Colibri iMX6 is a member of the Colibri family. You will find all technical details such as features, datasheets, software, etc. here.

Recommendation for a first-time order

For starting for the first time with your Colibri iMX6 you will need a suitable Colibri Carrier Board as well as some adapters and cables for connecting your desired interfaces.
Toradex recommends to order the following accessories for your fist-time order:


You can buy the Colibri iMX6 module, Colibri Evaluation Board and Carrier Board Accessory Kit from the Toradex webshop.

3D Models

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.

Colibri iMX6 - Specific 3D Mechanical Models

The Colibri iMX6 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.
