The Tiva™ C Series TM4C129x Connected Development Kit is a versatile and feature-rich engineering platform that highlights the 120-MHz Tiva C Series TM4C129XNCZAD ARM® Cortex™-M4 based microcontroller, including an integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC + PHY as well as many other key features.
Features
Color LCD interface
USB 2.0 OTG | Host | Device port
TI wireless EM connection
BoosterPack and BoosterPack XL interfaces
Quad SSI-supported 512-Mbit Flash memory
MicroSD slot
Expansion interface headers: MCU high-speed USB ULPI port, Ethernet RMII and MII ports External peripheral interface for memories, parallel peripherals, and other system functions.
The kit also includes an In-Circuit Debug Interface (ICDI) and extensive software offerings that provide libraries for key functions, source code examples, and important utilities to allow professional engineers to build and debug C code-based solutions quickly and efficiently in one of the several supported integrated development environments (IDEs), including Keil, Mentor Embedded, IAR Systems, and Code Composer Studio™.
Features & Benefits of Tiva TM4C129x MCUs
Connect to and communicate with products and services with 10/100 Ethernet MAC+PHY with advanced line diagnostics for smart identification of cabling issues. Integrated CAN and USB provide high-speed connectivity, allowing the creation of seamless gateway solutions.
Control outputs and manage multiple events, such as lighting, sensing, motion, display and switching, using sensor aggregation capabilities with 10 I2C ports, two fast, accurate 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), two quadrature encoder inputs, three on-chip comparators, external peripheral interface, as well as advanced pulse-width modulation (PWM) outputs.
Address varying application memory needs with pin for pin compatibility across the TM4C129x portfolio. With 256 KB of integrated SRAM and 6KB EEPROM to support greater functionality, along with a scalable 512KB to 1 MB Flash memory offering to support 100,000 program cycles for extended in-field updates and reliable operation.
Add data and tamper protection to applications and reduce processing overhead with the hardware acceleration of key encryption/decryption functions and cyclic redundancy check (CRC). Monitor and log external events and invoke corresponding actions to further secure critical data using tamper protection inputs and their associated capabilities.
Testers will be selected on the basis of quality of applications: we expect a full and complete description of why you want to test this particular product.
Testers are required to produce a full, comprehensive and well thought out review within 2 months of receipt of the product.
Failure to provide this review within the above timescale will result in the enrolee being excluded from future Road Tests.
Awesome! Very excited to work with this board - this is one of the RoadTests I really really wanted a crack at! I'll be sure to put it through it's paces.
Firstly, many thanks for all the detailed, thoughtful applications that have been sent in. It hasn't been easy to make a choice, particularly with the limited number of units that we have on offer. However, after careful consideration, we have selected the following 2 applicants for this RoadTest:
