Stellaris^® EVALBOT - 32-bit ARM^®-Cortex™-M3 Microcontrollers

Learning ARM Cortex-M3 microcontrollers (MCUs), real-time operating systems and a variety of tools is fun with the EVALBOT

In one little robotic evaluation kit, you can experience the Stellaris ARM^® Cortex™-M3-based LM3S9B92 MCU in real-world applications that leverage the processor's integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC/PHY, USB On-The-Go, CAN, and motion control capabilities.

The board also uses a range of Texas Instruments´ analog components for motor drive, power supply, and communications functions. After a few minutes of assembly, the EVALBOT's electronics are ready-to-run.

To get started, it is easy as just determining what tools you want to work with:

• Standard robotic evaluation kit supported with StellarisWare^® and one of the five standard tools options
• Robotic evaluation kit with Micrium's µC/OS-III: The Real-Time Kernel and IAR Systems Embedded Workbench. Available options are:
  1. the EVALBOT only;
  2. the Micrium book with example projects and the EVALBOT; or
  3. only the book
• Another supplement is the latest volume from Micrium, µC/TCP-IP, The Embedded Protocol Stack. This book features everything you need to get started writing network applications for the EVALBOT, including links to tools and example projects.

Standard robotic evaluation kits supported with StellarisWare

For this version of the EVALBOT, the quickstart application provides out-of-the-box action and can be used along with other included examples as a foundation for seriously fun learning. The examples are based on the included, extensive StellarisWare library and can be modified to meet new challenges using one of the evaluation versions of the integrated development tools listed in the product part table.
