The Freescale Tower System
MCU/MPU Module
• Tower controller board
• Works stand-alone or
in Tower System
• Features new on-board
debug interface for
easy programming
and debugging via
mini-B USB cable
Secondary Elevator
• Additional serial and
expansion buses and
peripheral interfaces
Peripheral Module
• (i.e. serial, prototype, etc.)
Size
• Tower is approx. 3.5” H x 3.5” W x 3.5” D
when fully assembled
Primary Elevator
• Common serial
and expansion
bus signals
• Two 2x80 connectors
on backside for easy
signal access and
side-mounting board
(i.e. LCD module)
• Power regulation
circuitry
• Standardized signal
assignments
Board Connectors
• Four card-edge
connectors
• Uses PCI Express
®
connectors
(x16, 90 mm/3.5”
long, 164 pins)
