The demonstration shows an instant boot demo on a Colibri T20 featuring the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor. The module boots into a WinCE 7 start up application in 800 milliseconds. The demo features full USB support, Touch support, 2D and 3D accelerated openGL and a total shell commander to browse the flash file system or execute programs. The low power system runs off a 9.6V Battery on a 7” TFT Display.
