 | Kit Overview
The Stellaris
You can use the board either as an evaluation platform or as a low-cost in-circuit debug interface (ICDI). In debug interface mode, the on-board microcontroller is bypassed, allowing for programming or debugging of an external target. The kit is also compatible with high-performance external JTAG debuggers.
This evaluation kit enables quick evaluation, prototype development, and creation of applicationspecific designs for CAN. The kit also includes extensive source-code examples, allowing you to start building C code applications quickly.
The heart of the evaluation board is a Stellaris LM3S2965LM3S2965 ARM Cortex
Key Applications: Remote monitoring, Electronic point-of-sale (POS) machines, Test and measurement equipment, Network appliances and switches, Factory automation, HVAC and building control, Gaming equipment, Motion control, Medical instrumentation, Fire and security, Power and energy, Transportation. | |||||||||||
