This document describes the features and characteristics of the Luminary Micro Stellaris® LM3S1968 Evaluation Board.
The Stellaris LM3S1968 Evaluation Board is a compact platform for the ARM Cortex‑M3 based LM3S1968 microcontroller. It highlights the microcontroller's peripherals, includes a 3 V lithium battery for the hibernation module, and provides an OLED graphics display, user LEDs, navigation switches, and an 8 Ω magnetic speaker.
The manual contains chapters on board specifications, hardware description, debugging configurations, schematics, connection details, and contact information. Appendices provide detailed diagrams, breakout pad locations, and recommended connectors, helping users evaluate, prototype, and develop applications with the LM3S1968 MCU.
| Battery | 3 V lithium coin cell |
|---|---|
| Display | OLED graphics display, 128 × 96 pixels |
| Debug Connector | Standard ARM 20‑pin JTAG/SWD connector |
| User Interface | User LED, navigation switches, select push‑buttons |
A 3 V lithium coin cell battery included in the kit supplies power to the hibernation module.
The board supports USB‑based debugging, a standard 20‑pin ARM JTAG/SWD connector, and can act as an in‑circuit debug interface when the on‑board MCU is disabled.
The board includes an OLED graphics display with a resolution of 128 × 96 pixels.
