This section provides more details about the features and functionality of the TWR-LCD. 3.1 Power Supply The TWR-LCD can be powered as a standalone device from the Mini-B USB connector. The TWR-LCD can also be powered from a source in an assembled Tower System via the 5.0V supply on the TWR- ELEV Side Expansion Port.
3.2 LCD Display / Controller The TWR-LCD features a Truly Semiconductor 3.2” TFT LCD with an analog resistive touch overlay. 3.2.1 Communication Mode The LCD utilizes a 240 RGB x 320 QVGA display controller. The display controller is accessible to the on-board MCF51JM MCU through SPI.
Select SPI0 CS0 as the chip-select for LCD SPI interface 3.2.3 Resistive Touch Overlay The TWR-LCD display features an integrated analog resistive touch panel. The panel can be access by either the on-board MCF51JM MCU or a compatible Tower MCU module. The selection of which MCU interfaces the Touch Panel is independent of which MCU is driving the LCD display controller (designated by JM/ELE).

3.5 Mini-B USB Connection The TWR-LCD features a Mini-B USB connection on the lower right corner of the module. The USB connector is used to provide power to the TWR-LCD module when operating in stand-alone mode (not TWR-LCD User’s Manual...
TWR-LCD. In Boot Loader mode, if the USB cable is connected to a host PC, the TWR-LCD will enumerate as a Mass Storage Device. If an appropriate compiled binary (.s19) file is placed in the root directory of the enumerated storage drive, the TWR-LCD will parse the binary file and reprogram the main application running on the TWR-LCD.
Primary Elevator board in a Tower System. The Primary Elevator Side Expansion Port connectors, comprised of sides A and B, are utilized by the TWR-LCD. The table below provides the pinout for the Primary Elevator Connector. An “X” in the “Used” column indicated that there is a connection from the TWR-LCD to that pin on the Elevator connector.
4 Jumper Table There are several configuration switches provided for isolation, configuration, and feature selection. Refer to the following table for details. The default installed dip switch settings are shown in *bold*. Table 9 - TWR-LCD Configuration Table Configuration Option...
Disconnects AN7 from Touch Panel (YPLS) 4.1 Mechanical Form Factor The TWR-LCD is designed for the Freescale Tower System as a side mounting peripheral and complies with the electrical and mechanical specification as described in Freescale Tower Electromechanical Specification.
