BYOES Track #2: Freescale Tower Workshop

Freescale Tower System

Build Your Own Embedded System (BYOES) using the Tower System: Offered as a second (unrelated) BYOES track, every All-Access, 4-Day and 3-Day conference attendee will be eligible to participate in the BYOES Track sessions. Attendees will receive* various modules within the Freescale’s Tower System, a modular, reconfigurable development platform. The Tower System employs a simple 3-step concept— choose an MCU module that’s right for your needs, pick the peripheral modules that are right for your end application, and easily snap them together to form your custom development platform. MCU/MPU modules in the Tower System span 8-, 16-, and 32-bit devices. Peripheral modules include memory, sensors, serial connectivity, Wi-Fi, graphical LCD and more.

Take your design to the next level with the Freescale Tower System. Freescale’s modular development platform saves you months of development time now and in the future through rapid prototyping and tool re-use. Interchangeable and reusable modules along with open source design files make it easy to customize your design and reduce low level design giving you more time to focus on differentiated solutions. With low cost modules being introduced regularly to the market,and an interactive online community, the expansion of your Tower System from a development tool into a development platform is simple and cost effective.

The classes within this BYOES track will help the attendee customize their Tower System and write the code needed to make the modules operate efficiently. The track is organized such that attendees are introduced to a basic Tower System in the first class** and then proceed into subsequent hands-on training classes that feature additional modules in the Tower System. For example, after an initial 101 course, attendees may learn how to port an RTOS; how to interface to external memory; and how to add wired and wireless networking capabilities.

By attending each class, participants will receive more than $400 worth of Tower System hardware in the form of 1 basic kit and 4 peripheral modules. The combination of these modules makes for an exceptional development platform, with numerous expansion and reconfiguration opportunities. Register now! You’ll quickly see how easy it is to take your designs to the next level with the Tower System.

* Space and kits are limited. Hardware will be given out on a first-come, first-serve basis, limited to the first 80 attendees. You must be present to receive hardware.

** The hardware featured in the first session will be used through the entirety of the BYOES track. As such, the first 80 attendees to this class will receive a ticket to redeem for the actual hardware at the end of the conference (Thursday, September 23). If you miss the first class in the track, you will not be able to get the basic kit for free. For each subsequent class where hardware will be given away, the first 80 attendees will walk away with free boards, whether or not they attended the first session.
