The document introduces the development board and functional characteristics of the Stellaris® family development board
The Stellaris Family Development Kit provides a complete hardware and software platform for developing embedded applications with ARM Cortex‑M microcontrollers. The board includes two UART transceivers, a USB 2.0 full‑speed interface, a 20‑pin JTAG debug connector, EEPROM and flash memory, LEDs, a pushbutton, and optional daughterboards for various package options.
The kit ships with a full software suite, including ARM RealView compilation tools, Keil uVision, IAR C/C++ compiler, GNU toolchain, Eclipse IDE, and pre‑emptive RTOS kernels, allowing developers to prototype, debug, and program the target microcontrollers directly via USB without an external emulator.
| UART transceivers | 2 UART transceivers |
|---|---|
| EEPROM memory | 8 Kbits |
| Flash memory | 1 Mbit SPI‑based flash |
| Real‑time clock oscillator | 32 kHz |
| LED power indicators | 5 V and 3.3 V |
| USB interface | USB 2.0 full‑speed |
| JTAG debug connector | 20‑pin ARM JTAG |
| Buzzer | 1 buzzer (PWM use) |
| User LEDs | 8 LEDs |
