non-usb Bootloaders?
Does anyone have a serial or network-based bootloader for the 51CN128 tower board?I need something that gets me out of the OS-dependence of USB-based things :-(Is there a popular coldfire bootloader/monitor that could be easily ported?

After the time limit is up...
sigh. The free time on weekends within a 30 day period went by faster than I would have thought. Now that the codewarrior install will only link a 64k binary, are there other interesting demos that I can compile and fiddle with (hopefully some that…

This board is supposed to connect arduino shield to a Freescale Tower Bus system. Hopefully makable in the well-equipped hobbyist lab. It's got extra room for a protoboard layout as well. Not many signals are conveniently available. Too many of the…

Tutorial CodeWarrior Questions...
I dunno whether it's better to ask these question here, or in the usual freescale forums. I guess they are not all tower-specific: 1) When I "debug" the security/telnet demo I get assorted worrisome error messages: A) after "debug": "Vppon command…

Building hardware, hobbyist or otherwise...
Ah lovely! The size of the tower boards is 3.1 x 3.5 inches, which fits nicely within the boundaries of Cadsoft's freeware version of EAGLE. (Thank you!) Now to see if I have some 1mm PCB material around...

Here's a similar spreadsheet showing the pinouts of the tower system in a bus-central view (one line per bus connection (some not connected anywhere in current hardware.)) Bus-centric Pinout Spreadsheet

I wanted a clearer picture of what pins of the 51CN were dedicated to which functions (if any), and where they showed up on the connectors and etc. So I've put together this google-doc spreadsheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AqdMB5dovD…

Tower to Arduino Shield Breakout PCB (under development.)


This board is supposed to connect arduino shield to a Freescale Tower Bus system. Hopefully makable in the well-equipped hobbyist lab. It's got extra room for a protoboard layout as well. Not many signals are conveniently available. Too many of the pins that could have PWM or Analog in are already in use by per… Continue
