The Freescale Tower System is a modular development platform for 8-, 16-, and 32-bit microcontrollers that enables advanced development through rapid prototyping. The Tower System from Freescale Semiconductor features multiple development boards, or modules, and provides designers with building blocks for entry-level to advanced MCU development. The Freescale Tower System provides interchangeable and reusable modules that make it easy to customize your design. This Freescale Semiconductor development platform also provides open source hardware, software, and BDM debug hardware to speed up the design process. Peripheral modules can be reused with all Tower System controller modules, eliminating the need to purchase redundant hardware for future designs.
