![]() | 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 in a bundle (EKB-UCOS3-BNDLEKB-UCOS3-BNDL) with a Stellaris-specific version of uC/OS-IIIuC/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 (EKB-UCOS3-EVMEKB-UCOS3-EVM) for those who already have the book. The example projects include:
LM3S9B92 Microcontroller The Stellaris LM3S9B92 is an ARM
