Kit Overview

The Stellaris® LM3S2965-IQC50-A2LM3S2965-IQC50-A2 Evaluation Board (EKK-LM3S2965EKK-LM3S2965) is a compact and versatile evaluation platform for the Stellaris LM3S2965-IQC50-A2LM3S2965-IQC50-A2 ARM® Cortex™-M3-based microcontroller. The evaluation kit demonstrates a complete controller area network (CAN) using two Stellaris microcontrollers. The main evaluation board (EVB) configures a Stellaris LM3S2965 microcontrollerLM3S2965 microcontroller as a CAN host. A small CAN device board, linked with a ribbon cable, uses a Stellaris LM3S2110-IQC25LM3S2110-IQC25 microcontroller. The function of each board is fully configurable in software.

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™-M3-based microcontroller. The LM3S2965-IQC50-A2.LM3S2965-IQC50-A2. offers 256-KB flash memory, 50-MHz operation, a CAN module, and a wide range of peripherals. The LM3S2965LM3S2965 microcontroller is factory programmed with a quickstart demo program. The quickstart program resides in the LM3S2965-IQC50-A2.LM3S2965-IQC50-A2. on-chip flash memory and runs each time power is applied, unless the quickstart has been replaced with a user program.

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.
