Toradex, a Swiss technology company specialized in embedded systems, will be at Embedded World 2012 to showcase their products and technology including:
- An Embedded Computer Kit with Colibri T20 (Nvidia Tegra 2 Computer on Module) and Iris carrier board.
- Instant boot demo (480 ms) in WinCE with their NVidia COM
- The new Colibri T30 COM powered by Nvidia Tegra 3 (Quad-core Cortex A9 processor)
At the conference, they will give away 100 Embedded Computer Kits (they also call it “Performance Kit”) based on Colibri T20 and Iris board to the attendees who give 20 Euros to the Red Cross. The regular price of this kit is 200 Euros. This embedded module comes preloaded with Windows Embedded Compact 7 , but you can download the Linux BSP and update the board firmware.

You watch Toradex teaser video for Embedded Word 2012 below.
You can find more information on the Colibri T20 including the schematics, BOM, WinCE and Linux BSPs on Toradex Colibri modules page. Colibri T30 has not been officially announced yet, and I could not find any information on this new Tegra 3 module.
Further information on the carrier boards is available on Toradex Iris page (129 euros Pico-ITX carrier board) and the Colibri Evaluation Carrier Board (199 USD) page.
Finally the company has setup a developer website with lots of software and hardware resources for their products. There is also a community forum (that did not work at the time I tried).

Damn, it took a while to develop, as it will just start shipping on the 1st of January 2013.
