TWR-TWRPI-BD Features
• Enablesrapidprototypingandevaluationofsensors,radiosand
 otherperipheralsavailableasTowerplug-ins(TWRPIs)
• Addsuptothreeadditionalgeneral-purposeTWRPImodulestothe
 FreescaleTowerSystemandinterfacesthemwithsignalsavailable
 ontheTowerelevatoredgeconnectors
• ProvidesaccesstoSPI,I2C,andUARTcommunicationinterfaces
• EachTWRPIsocketfeatures:
IndependentSPIinterfaces,eachwithtwoselectableslave
select signals
IndependentUARTinterfaceswithoptionalflowcontrolavailable
onsocketsAandC
Independent selection of GPIO or interrupt functionality
