TWR-POS-K81
Tower System Development Platform
The TWR-POS-K81 development platform is a reference platform for a
payment PIN entry device. This board includes Cirque SecureSense AFE
for secure PIN entry. The design files and associated software show an
example PIN pad application that has been submitted for Payment Card
Industry (PCI) certification. The board is designed to work standalone or as
part of the Freescale Tower System.

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
In this Quick Start Guide, you will learn how to set up the TWR-POS-K81 board and
run the included demonstrated software.
1Download Software
and Tools
Download and install the KSDK for TWR-
POS-K81 software. See expanded software
and tools now available for Kinetis MCUs
section for information on how to get access
to the software if you do not have it already.
2Configure
the Hardware
Connect one end of the USB cable to
the PC and the other end to micro-AB
connector (J55) on the TWR-POS-K81
board. Allow the PC to automatically
configure the USB drivers if needed.
3Connect
a Terminal
Open a terminal emulator program of your
choice (TeraTerm, HyperTerm, etc.) and
connect to the board using the enumerated
Virtual COM port as shown below. If you
don’t see an option for the Virtual COM
port, then follow the directions at the end
of this document to install the driver.
NOTE: The number for the COM port can vary.
NOTE: Any previously active connection should be
terminated before plugging in the board. Failure to
do this may result in the COM port not showing up.
