SDRAM bus speed is set at 250 MHz to generate a 500 MHz data rate. The system bus clock is set at 125MHz. All clock speeds such as CPU, SYSTEM, SDHC, USB and NAND can be programmable to desire frequency with software modification and jumpers. MCF5441X Tower Module Hardware Specification Page 7 of 31...
TWR-MCF5441X provides two debug interfaces – a standard BDM and an Open Source BDM (OSBDM). 4.4.1 Stardard BDM The primary debug port on the TWR-MCF5441X is referred to as the background debug module or BDM. The standard 26-pin BDM header (J11) is provided on the TWR-M5441X for attachment of an external BDM control interface.

PSTCLK/OSBDM Table 2 - BDM Headers The MCF5441x also features IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port (JTAG) test logic that can be used for boundary-scan testability. The access pins for JTAG are multiplexed over the BDM control signals and are available on J11.
UART0 and UART4. Two 2x5 pin headers are provided allowing access to the RS232 interfaces - J1 (UART0) and J3 (UART4). A 2x5 adaptor to Female DB9 serial cable must be used in order to establish serial communication. MCF5441X Tower Module Hardware Specification Page 10 of 31...
Table 6 - J1 & J3 4.6 SDRAM Interface The MCF5441x is capable of supporting 256MB DDR2-500 1.8V SDRAM at 250MHz SDRAM Clock. To reduce cost, the TWR-M54418 uses an 8-bit memory bus to interface to 128MB Micron MT47H128M8 DDR2 SDRAM.
For more details regarding the Cut-Trace pad options and the pad numbering refer to the Cut-Trace Pad section of this document. 4.9 Potentiometer The TWR-MCF5441X includes an on-board potentiometer to allow the user to simulate an analog input. MCF5441X Tower Module Hardware Specification...
TWR-M54418 uses 1-wire interface (OWIO) to interact with temperature sensor Maxim DS18B20 digital thermometer. The sensor device is powered from TWR-MCF5441X’s 3.3V power circuit. The Parasite-Powered method (where the power source is from data bus) is not used in this platform.
For more details regarding the Cut-Trace pad options and the pad numbering refer to the Cut-Trace Pad section of this document. 4.13 Reset Configuration The TWR-MCF5441X has three boot mode options: Boot with default configuration constants specified in the RCON register Boot with NAND/NOR with configuration data specified by the Flexbus FB_AD[7:0] pins Boot with configuration data obtained from an external SPI memory through the serial boot facility.
4.13.1 Default Configuration (J5: 3-4 and 1-2 = ON:ON) If the BOOTMOD pins are 00 during reset, the MCF5441x’s RCON register determines the chip configuration after reset, regardless of the states of the external data pins. The RCON register specifies...
FB_AD[7:0] pins. On the TWR-MCF5441X, the FB_AD[7:0] pins are actively driven by two 4-bit buffers enabled when the MCF5441x RSTOUT signal is asserted. The values driven by the buffer are set by the SW1 DIP switch settings. For SW1, a value of 0 implies that the dip is switched “On”.
