board platform
NXP’s Tower System peripheral module is designed to be combined and used with other Tower System modules. The Tower System is a
modular development platform for 8-, 16-, and 32-bit MCUs and MPUs enabling advanced development through rapid prototyping.
Featuring more than fifty development boards or modules, the Tower System provides designers with building blocks for entry-level to
advanced MCU development. Figure 2 shows a Tower System platform with the TWR-SB0410-36EVB configured with another Tower
System module, the TWR-KL25Z48M board.
