There is a new version of the Toradex Windows CE 5 and 6 BSP and binary image as well as the new Toradex bootloader available for download. The new release V3.6 comes with many new features, improvements, and bug-fixes. One of the new features is for example the SDCard boot/update supported for SD cards formatted with FAT16. There is also a new fail-safe feature which makes sure the device can always be booted even if the bootloader update failed. For details please see the change log files in the download section of the Toradex website:
http://files.toradex.com/Colibri/WinCE/Images/
The new BSP/Image/Bootloader works on all Colibri modules as well as on the Limestone platform.
Important for Colibri PXA270M V2.1a users:
The current BSP V3.6 does not support all features of this module. The following features are not working:
- Touch-screen: There is a patch available for download (http://files.toradex.com/Colibri/WinCE/Drivers/Colibri_PXA270M_Touch_Patch.zip)
- Ethernet: The built-in Ethernet controller does not work after a suspend/resume cycle. There is no patch for this issue.
Toradex will release a beta version of an image (V3.7b1) that supports all Colibri PXA270M features soon.
Please contact Toradex in case of any further questions (support.arm@toradex.com)
The release candidate for Toradex’ Colibri and Limestone Windows CE Image Version 3.6 and the corresponding bootloader are available in the
download section of our website. (Version 3.6 beta 2)
The BSP is available
here.
We recommend to test this version if you plan to update to Toradex Windows CE Image or BSP V3.6 since this is the official release candidate which most probably will not change.
The new image includes bug fixes, new features, and performance improvements.
For a complete list check the change-log.
Please contact us if you have any further questions.

- Win CE 6.0 now R3
- SD Card boot

To learn more about all the new features, improvements, and bug fixes take a look at the change log file.
Please contact our Colibri Support Team with all your feedback.
Toradex introduces Daisy, a Pico ITX board for Nano COM Express and nanoETXexpress modules.
Daisy is an embedded base board for credit card sized nanoETXexpress and COM Express computer modules. The board was initially designed to work with the Intel Atom based Toradex Robin module. Together they form a modular computer system that fits in the palm of your hand. With a tiny form factor of 10 cm x 7.2 cm, the Daisy is 75% smaller than a mini ITX board.
Daisy is suitable for application in areas such as, advertising, POS, data acquisition, automation, medical, mobile and many others. When size and power consumption matters, the Daisy embedded computer board is an ideal choice.
The given multimedia interfaces VGA, TV out, LVDS and 7.1 HD Audio, can create a great user experience. LVDS enables you to connect a LCD display in a very direct way. There are 8 GPIOs to connect peripherals like simple buttons or LEDs. Additionally you can find several USB ports. With Gigabit Ethernet, SATA and a PCI Express Mini Card slot, the board is ready for bandwidth hungry applications. For example, the Mini PCIe is a great way to add 3G capability or other wireless technologies.
Toradex recommends using the small Robin COM Express embedded module in combination with the Daisy board. Robin is based on the Intel Atom Z530 or Z510 processor with the US15W System Controller Hub. It has DDR RAM and an SSD disk onboard, therefore an extra hard disk is not necessary. For additional storage requirements, the combination features two micro SD cards slots and one SATA port.
Daisy is available now for only 90 Euro at the Toradex Webshop (single quantity price).

The Toradex Windows CE5, CE6 and Bootloader Version 3.5 is available for download on http://files.toradex.com/Colibri/WinCE/Images and
http://files.toradex.com/Colibri/WinCE/BSP/
This update contains just a small change in the FlashDisk driver for PXA270 modules. See the image-changelog file for details. (http://files.toradex.com/Colibri/WinCE/Images/Image_ChangeLog.txt)
This is a critical update for customers using Toradex Windows CE6 V3.4 on a Colibri PXA270 module.
There is a potential issue with the FlashDisk driver under Windows CE6 when using the Colibri PXA270 module.
FileSystem corruption or loss of data could occur.
Therefore IMAGE 3.4 and CE6 BSP have been removed from our download page.
There will be a 3.5 version available for download in the next days which fixes only this issue.
NOTE: BSP and IMAGE 3.4 on Windows CE5 are not affected by this issue also all Colibri PXA3xx on CE5 and CE6 are not affected.
