Linux BSP for the Toradex Colibri Evaluation Board

What is this?

A Linux BSP for the Toradex Colibri PXA270 core module and evaluation board. We offer it via free download and for use in whatever PXA270 processor-based Linux projects you might be working on.

There are several features we have developed in this BSP that we haven't found in any other Linux distributions which support this reference platform. Hopefully, some of them may be helpful to you in your current or upcoming projects.
