What is Freescale's Tower System?
It's Modular and Expandable
Evaluating Freescale solutions using the
Tower System
is easy with modular, reconfigurable hardware. Interchangeable
microcontroller
and peripheral boards leverage standardized, open source hardware, making it simple to create a customized development tool for all of your design needs. Just plug-n-play.
It Speeds Development Time
Open source software lets you quickly begin developing with proven designs that you can immediately reuse in your own development platform. With enabling technologies like
WiFi
,
LDC
,
serial
and
memory
interfacing, off-the-shelf
development tools
give a customized feel to your enablement solution. Each
MCU module
includes Open Source BDM debug hardware, allowing it to become a standalone BDM tool and getting you to market faster.
It's Low Cost
Reuse
peripheral modules
with future
microcontroller modules
and make your investment go even further, which means expanding and customizing your
Tower System
from a development tool into a
development platform
is simple and low cost.
