The MCF8329EVM allows users to evaluate the performance of a MCF8329 motor driver. The EVM includes an onboard FTDI chip to convert USB communication, from the micro-USB connector, into UART. An onboard MSP430FR2355 microcontroller (MCU) translates the UART communication into either control signals or SPI formatted data, which is sent to the MCF8329 device. There are many user-selectable jumpers, resistors, connectors, and test points to assist with evaluating the many features of the MCF8329 IC and the configurable device-specific settings.
