Toradex Expands Product Portfolio with New EmbeddedComputer Based on NXP ® I.MX 7 Applications Processors
23 February 2016, Nürnberg, Germany: Toradex is pleased to announce a new member of its System
on Module (SOM) product line based on the NXP i.MX 7 series applications processors. The processors
offer an excellent performance/power ratio, advanced security features, and a heterogeneous multicore
architecture based on ARM® Cortex-A7 and Cortex-M4 cores, which make the platform a perfect fit for
products targeting the rapidly growing IoT market.
Some of the features of new SOMs: Colibri iMX7S and Colibri iMX7D are;
NXP i.MX 7Solo and i.MX 7Dual applications processors
1x/2x ARM® Cortex-A7 up to 1GHz & 1x Cortex-M4 at 200MHz
256MB/512MB RAM, 512MB on-board Flash
Asymmetric/ Heterogeneous multicore processing
Low power consumption/ high efficiency
Advanced security features
Connectivity: CAN, Ethernet, USB, I2C, UART, etc.
Multimedia: Touch, RGB, Camera Parallel Interface, Analog Audio, etc.
Temperature range -20° to 85° C
The additional Cortex-M4 core is tailored for time-critical applications. This unique heterogeneous
multicore architecture allows to clearly separate real time tasks from any server or GUI-related
applications. The i.MX 7 processor also includes many additional security features such as secure boot,cryptographic acceleration and tamper detection, which are of high value for the IoT market.
Toradex's internal benchmarks prove the effectiveness of the new architecture used for i.MX 7
processors. While the performance is comparable to the very successful i.MX 6Solo processor (ARM®
Cortex-A9 1GHz) SoC, the power consumption in operating mode is in the range of the Colibri VF61
(ARM® Cortex-A5 500MHz) or less than 75% of the power consumption of i.MX 6Solo. When looking at

the standby mode, i.MX 7 requires even less than a third compared to the power consumption of i.MX
6Solo.
*Results are based on nbench benchmarking, which uses a single-core, so performance & power consumption figures are
comparable between dual-core i.MX 7Dual and single-core SoCs such as i.MX 6Solo, VF61 & VF50
The Colibri iMX7S/D SOMs are an extension to the robust and compact Toradex embedded computing
SOMs and customized Single Board Computers (SBC), which are used in variety of industries such as
industrial automation, medical, automotive, robotics and many more. Toradex’s products are ideal for
quickly creating proof-of-concepts as well as scaling seamlessly from prototypes to tens of thousands of
devices, without the need to redesign the embedded computer.
