Kit Overview
The Tiva C Series LM4F232 USB+CAN Development Kit (EK-LM4F232EK-LM4F232) is a compact and versatile evaluation platform for the Tiva C series TM4C123GH6PGETM4C123GH6PGE ARM Cortex-M4F-based microcontroller. The evaluation kit design highlights the TM4C123GH6PGE microcontroller integrated USB 2.0 On-the-Go/Host/Device interface, CAN, analog, and low-power capabilities.
The evaluation kit features the TM4C123GH6PGETM4C123GH6PGE microcontroller, a color OLED display, USB OTG connector, a microSD card slot, a coin cell battery for use with the Tiva C Series low-power Hibernate mode, a temperature sensor, a three-axis accelerometer for motion detection, and easy access through holes to all of the available device signals. The kit also includes extensive source code examples, allowing you to start building C code applications quickly.
The software provided with the EK-LM4F232EK-LM4F232 provides access to all of the peripheral devices supplied in the design. The StellarisWare Peripheral Driver Library is used to operate the on-chip peripherals. The software includes a set of example applications that use the StellarisWare Peripheral Driver Library. These applications demonstrate the capabilities of the TM4C123GH6PGETM4C123GH6PGE microcontroller, as well as provide a starting point for the development of the final application for use on the EK-LM4F232 evaluation board. The EK-LM4F232 Evaluation Kit CD also contains a Windows quickstart companion for the Data Logger quickstart application. The companion application provides a strip-chart display for up to 10 channels of data from the EK-LM4F232 evaluation board.
