Stellaris® LM3S1968
Evaluation Kit
The Stellaris® LM3S1968 Evaluation Board is a
compact and versatile evaluation platform for the
Stellaris LM3S1968 ARM® Cortex™-M3-based
microcontroller. The evaluation kit design highlights
the LM3S1968 microcontroller's peripherals and its
Hibernation module.
Features
A 3 V lithium battery, included in the LM3S1968
Evaluation Kit, supplies power to the Hibernation
module and maintains data and real-time clock
information for about two years in the absence of USB
power.
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
disabled, allowing connection of the debug signals to
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 using the LM3S1968's broad range of
peripherals. The kit also includes extensive
source code examples, allowing you to start building
C code applications quickly.
