TWR-S08UNIV module board

• Softwareincludedtoenableengineers

to bring up sample CodeWarrior projects

to exercise many on-chip and on-board

peripherals, including:

o

Sample code for the TPM, A/D, internal

clock set-up

o

Sample code for different serial protocols,

initialization

*The TWR-S08UNIV should always be ordered

in combination with one or more of the

plug-in daughter cards (TWR-(R)S08DC-xxxx).

The TWR-S08UNIV-DEMO is also available,

providing the TWR-S08UNIV main module

along with all six initial daughter cards.
