TOWER SYSTEM
Step-by-step installation instructions
In this Quick Start Guide, you will learn how to set up the TWR-MCF5441X
module and run the Linux and MQX shell demonstrations.
Assemble the Required
Tower System Modules
The Linux and MQX demonstrations that
come pre-installed on the TWR-MCF5441X
require the use of the TWR-SER2. Please
assemble the TWR-MCF5441X and the
TWR-SER2 together using the TWR-ELEV
as described in the “How to build your
Tower” section of this Quick Start Guide.
Connect the
Serial Cable
Attach the header end of the provided
DB9 adapter cable to UART0 (J1) of the
TWR-MCF5441X. Attach the DB9 end
to a serial cable connected to the host
computer. Open a terminal window on
the host computer. Use the appropriate
COM port to establish a serial connection
with the TWR-MCF5441X.

Connect the
USB Cable
Attach the provided USB A-to-Mini-B
cable between the host computer (or a
USB wall adapter) and the Mini-B (J9)
receptacle on the TWR-MCF5441X.
The USB cable will supply power to the
TWR-MCF5441X and additional
Tower System modules via the
TWR-ELEV. The connected terminal
window on the host computer should
indicate that U-Boot initialization
has started.
