Luminary Micro announces Stellaris® LM3S811 evaluation kit with kickstart edition of IAR Embedded Workbench
IAR Embedded Workbench kickstart edition enables use of the popular Stellaris LM3S811 evaluation kit with code size of up to 32KB.
Luminary Micro (www.luminarymicro.com), a fabless semiconductor company that designs, markets, and sells award- winning ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor- based microcontrollers and was the first to bring ARM for $1.00 to embedded developers, announces today the immediate availability of its Stellaris LM3S811 evaluation kit paired with the IAR Embedded Workbench kickstart edition development tools.
The IAR Embedded Workbench is a powerful set of essential build and debug tools for embedded projects using both C and C++. The kickstart edition allows projects of up to 32KB code size, enabling users to take advantage of the power of the Stellaris LM3S811 ARM Cortex-M3-based microcontroller.
Measuring just 3.5 × 1.5in., the Stellaris LM3S811 evaluation kit is exceptional for its compactness and versatility, spanning the design spectrum from evaluation to prototyping to application-specific design by functioning as both an evaluation platform for the Stellaris LM3S811 microcontroller and a serial in-circuit debug interface for any Stellaris microcontroller-based target board. The kit features:
- •
50MHz Stellaris LM3S811 ARM Cortex-M3-based microcontroller;
- •
96×16 pixel OLED display;
- •
user-programmable push button and LED;
- •
convenient reset push button and power indicator LED;
- •
thumbwheel potentiometer input to the on-chip ADC;
- •
serial in-circuit debug interface over USB;
- •
Stellaris Peripheral Driver Library, which provides a convenient, no- hassle method of initializing, programming, and controlling peripherals on Stellaris microcontrollers;
- •
the kickstart edition of the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM supporting up to 32KB code size;
- •
port and example application using FreeRTOS.orge small footprint real time operating system; and
- •
Stellaris CD packed with datasheets, schematics, applications notes, and programming examples.
In addition, the IAR kickstart edition evaluation kit also supports demonstration applications available for download and trial use from: www.luminarymicro.com/EKI-LM3S811_ev aluation_kit.html. Demonstrations include:
- •
FreeRTOS.org™ from FreeRTOS.org (www.freertos.org);
- •
uC/OS-II from Micrium (www.micrium.com);
- •
CMX-RTX from CMX, Inc. (www.cmx.com); and
- •
EmbOS RTOS from SEGGER Microcontroller Systeme GmbH (www.segger.com).
The board is powered over USB (cable included) and contains silk-screened through-hole-mount pin headers that can be user populated with pin stake headers for use in hardware prototyping. Utilizing a standard 20-pin ARM JTAG debug cable (also included), the Stellaris LM3S811 evaluation kit can be used as a serial in-circuit emulator for the user's application-specific target board.
Stellaris LM3S811 evaluation kit with the kickstart edition of IAR Embedded Workbench.
The Stellaris LM3S811 evaluation kit with the kickstart edition of IAR Embedded Workbench, ordering part number EKI-LM3S811, is available now through Luminary Micro's global sales channel at a resale price of just $49. The kit will also be resold by IAR Systems' worldwide net of sales offices and distributors.
