Freescale Tower system w/K70
Posted: Tue Oct 29, 2013 10:07 pm
So the computer we are using based on a Freescale K70 processor which is based on the ARM Cortex M4. The processor board can be combined with other I/O boards using interconnect boards to make a fairly complex computer system.
Main CPU board: Serial I/O board, also includes Ethernet: Storage expansion board. In addition to the compact flash module, there is an SD slot on the bottom: LCD board: Tower module. Attachment slots look suspiciously like PCI slots: The whole system assembled: There are also other boards you can get that work through the "flex bus" tower interface. Freescale sells this as a prototyping system for designing embedded systems. My project goal in this class is to implement a simple image processing system using the SD/USB interface to import a sample image, an edge detection algorithm to detect some edges and the LCD screen to display some results. We'll see how this goes.
