 | Kit Overview
The Stellaris
When roaming, three AA batteries supply power to the EVALBOT. The EVALBOT automatically selects USB power when tethered to a PC as a USB device or when debugging. Test points are provided to all key EVALBOT signals. Two 20-pin headers enable future wireless communications using standardized Texas Instruments' low-power embedded radio modules (EM boards). Additional microcontroller signals are available on break-out pads arranged in rows adjacent to the microcontroller.
The EVALBOT has factory-installed quickstart software resident in on-chip Flash memory. For software debugging and Flash programming, an integrated In-Circuit Debug Interface (ICDI) requires only a single USB cable for debug and serial port functions.
The EVALBOT is available with a Stellaris-specific version of μC/OS-III: The Real-Time Kernel by Jean J. Labrosse. This book reveals how a real-time kernel works using Micrium's μC/OS-III and the Stellaris EVALBOT as references. In addition, the board is also available separately for those who already have the book.
Key Applications: Remote connectivity and monitoring, Test and measurement equipment, Network appliances and switches, Factory automation, Home and commercial site monitoring and control, Gaming equipment, Motion control, etc. | |||||||||||
