Evaluation Kit Texas Instruments EKT-LM3S8962

Detailed Description

Each board has an In-Circuit Debug Interface (ICDI) that provides hardware debugging functionality not only for the on-board Stellaris devices, but also for any Stellaris microcontroller-based target board. The evaluation kits contain all cables, software, and documentation needed to develop and run applications for Stellaris microcontrollers easily and quickly.

You can use the EVB 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 connection of the debug signals to an external Stellaris microcontroller target. The kit is also compatible with high-performance external JTAG debuggers. This evaluation kit enables quick evaluation, prototype development, and creation of application-specific designs for Ethernet and CAN networks. The kit also includes extensive source-code examples, allowing you to start building C code applications quickly.
