Hello, and welcome to the Toradex community!

For your Linux-based text display project with support for multiple displays, IP messaging, and security, I recommend considering the Colibri iMX6ULL module. Here’s why it suits your requirements:

  • Display Support: The Colibri iMX6ULL supports multiple display interfaces, including a parallel LCD, which is well-suited for text displays and cost-sensitive designs (1).
  • Cost-Effective: The iMX6ULL module is among the most affordable options in the Colibri family.
  • Security Features: It is based on the NXP i.MX6ULL CPU, which includes key security features to help protect your IP messaging system.
  • Networking: It integrates Fast Ethernet support, enabling reliable and high-speed IP messaging (1).

To get started, I recommend the following setup:

  • Colibri iMX6ULL SoM along with a Colibri Evaluation Board—ideal for initial prototyping and familiarizing yourself with the platform.
  • Utilize Torizon OS, Toradex’s modern Linux-based operating system, providing a secure and flexible development environment.
  • For display integration, you can refer to our guides for multi-display setup with Torizon, and choose compatible display panels (2).

Would you like more details on display integration, software setup, or security configuration? Let me know how I can assist further!

Best regards,
