Quick Start Guide
Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
To evaluate and develop with the modular Freescale Tower System development
platform, a minimum of three basic modules are required for complete assembly.

MCU/MPU
module
Acts as the main control module for
the system
Peripheral module
(i.e., TWR-AUDIO-SGTL)
The TWR-AUDIO-SGTL module comes
with its jumpers in the default positions,
as shown in the jumpers section. Please
consult the TWR-AUDIO-SGTL User
Manual (found on
freescale.com/Tower)
for more information on the TWR-AUDIO-
SGTL functionality and for other jumper
configurations.
When assembling the TWR-AUDIO-SGTL
module and the MCU module into the
elevator modules, please ensure that
the modules occupy adjacent slots and
that the primary edge connector (marked
with a white stripe along the primary
edge of the module) is inserted into the
primary elevator module (denoted with
white connectors). See the instructions
in the TWR-ELEV Quick Start Guide for
the elevator modules for proper Tower
System assembly.
