    The 16 pin DIP component looks like a MAX232 chip. If you look at the datasheet for that component you will see a T1 in Connection (possibly pin 11).

     

    If you pull out the IC and push a prototyping wire into the socket at that pin, you can connect the other end to your MCU. The communication should then take place at TTL level.

     

    You will also need to level-shift the 5v on the rfid board to 3.3v for your Freescale board.

    Thank you for the help. Could you also mention what to use to level shift from 5V to 3.3V?

    Apart from searching using google, you could use two resistors as a voltage divider.

    It appears from the datasheet that its just Tx from the chip.

     

    The output from the MAX232 is RS232 levels so you need to ditch that.
