Evaluation Kit Texas Instruments EKC-LM3S2965

Detailed Description

The evaluation kit demonstrates a complete controller area network (CAN) using two Stellaris microcontrollers.

The main evaluation board (EVB) configures a Stellaris LM3S2965 microcontroller as a CAN host. A small CAN device board, linked with a ribbon cable, uses a Stellaris LM3S2110 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 application-specific designs for CAN. The kit also includes extensive source-code examples, allowing you to start building C code applications quickly.
