 | Kit Overview
The TWR-MCF5441X-KIT module is part of the Freescale Tower System, a modular development platform that enables rapid prototyping and tool re-use through reconfigureable hardware. The Freescale Tower System is a modular development platform for microcontrollers and microprocessors that enable 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.
The TWR-MCF5441X-KIT features the MCF54418 microprocessor which offers MCU peripherals with MPU performance, including integrated analog, an L2 switch and dual Ethernet. Add Linux(R) and Freescale MQX
The TWR-MCF5441X platform provides and evaluation system for the Freescale MCF5441x ColdFire V4m embedded microprocessor family. The MCF54418 is the superset device in the family and is the processor featured on this platform. This allows evaluation and development for the entire MCF5441x family on an existing Tower system.
