Description
The Stellaris® 3.5-inch Landscape Single Board Computer Intelligent Display Reference Design Kit (RDK-IDM-SBC) offers a complete, open-tool graphical touch-screen user interface design solution for control, automation, and instrumentation applications. Based on the feature-rich Stellaris LM3S9B92 microcontroller featuring Ethernet, USB OTG/Host/Device, and CAN, the new intelligent display module featured in the kit (MDL-IDM-SBC) combines a complete 3.5-inch QVGA landscape-oriented touch-screen user interface with several serial, digital, and analog connectivity options for easy implementation as a Human Machine Interface (HMI) touch display panel in an embedded control device. Software development for the RDK-IDM-SBC is simplified by using Luminary Micro's comprehensive StellarisWare® Peripheral Driver Library, Graphics Library, and USB Library in conjunction with ARM development tools from ARM tools partners.
