TWR-SER Datasheet TWR-SER | P1-P2

Overview

The Freescale Tower System is a modular

development platform for 8-, 16- and 32-bit

microcontrollers that enables advanced

development through rapid prototyping.

Featuring multiple development boards

or modules, the Tower System provides

designers with building blocks for entry-level

to advanced microcontroller development.

Modular and Expandable

• Controllermodulesprovideeasy-to-use,

reconfigurable hardware

• Interchangeableperipheralmodules—

serial,memoryandgraphicalLCD—make

customization easy

• Open-sourcehardwareandstandardized

specifications promote the development of

additional modules for added functionality

and customization

Speeds Development Time

• Opensourcehardwareandsoftware

allows quick development with

proven designs

• OpensourceBDMdebughardware,
