Kit Overview

Texas Instrument’s Stellaris LM4F232 USB+CAN Evaluation Kit is a compact and versatile evaluation platform for the Stellaris LM4F232 ARM^® Cortex™-M4F-based microcontroller. The evaluation kit design highlights the LM4F232 microcontroller’s integrated USB 2.0 On-the-Go/Host/Device interface, CAN, analog, and low-power capabilities.

The evaluation kit features a Stellaris microcontroller in a 144-LQFP package, a color OLED display, USB OTG connector, a microSD card slot, a coin cell battery for use with the Stellaris 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. Several versions of the Kit are available:
