1012 TORADEX

Toradex use with Sensoray Model 1012 (and 2255)

The 1012 has been tested with the Toradex Apalis iMX6 board. Toradex provides their own support pages here. This wiki entry provides additional information for updating the kernel to support the Sensoray 1012 device. The instructions also enable the Model 2255 driver for completeness.

The Apalis iMX6 CPU provides PCIe support, needed for the 1012. Toradex also provides a convenient and recommended carrier board called the Ixora to connect the 1012 and provide other peripherals. Sensoray has tested with the iMX6Q and the Ixora V1.0A carrier board running software version V2.4 (3.10 kernel). The instructions here should be valid for future kernel versions.

In order to use the 1012 with the Toradex CPU board, you will need cross-compile a new kernel and driver modules.
