element14 and Texas Instruments launch the LM3S9D96 Stellaris® development
Accelerating development of ARM® Cortex™-M3-based LM3S9D96 Stellaris
microcontrollers, optimised for networking, industrial control and human machine
interface designs
element14, Premier Farnell’s global online
eCommunity for electronic design engineers has today announced availability of
the DK-LM3S9D96 development kit, a low cost, high performance platform for
developing systems around the advanced capabilities of the 32-bit Stellaris ARM®
Cortex™-M3-based microcontroller. The DK-LM3S9D96 development kit is provided by
element14 in collaboration with Texas Instruments, a leading developer of
analog, embedded processing and wireless technologies.
The DK-LM3S9D96
development kit, available via element14 at a promotional price while supplies
last, is an out-of-the-box platform for building ARM-based embedded systems. The
kit delivers a complete design solution including hardware, software, source
code, drivers, application examples and evaluation version development tools and
serves as a straightforward and easy way to evaluate and design around the
LM3S9D96 Stellaris ARM® Cortex™-M3-based microcontroller.
For
development, the DK-LM3S9D96 board comes with features commonly used in
networking, industrial controls and human machine interface designs. The board
is CAN (Controller Area Network) enabled and also comes with an External
Peripheral Interface (EPI) with Audio I2S (Integrated Interchip sound). For
communications, the board supports USB, a host of serial IO and Ethernet
features. The DK-LM3S9D96 development kit includes a 3.5” TFT LCD display along
with the supporting graphics libraries and software. The DK-LM3S9D96 board
features the 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M3-based microcontroller to deliver flexibility
for applications that require high-performance processing.
“This is an
off the shelf solution that is low cost but with high performance,” said David
Shen, Group Senior Vice President and Global Head of Technical Marketing at
Premier Farnell. “We have partnered with Texas Instruments to launch a product
that will enable our customers to produce world-class designs and bring them to
market quicker and more efficiently. We are pleased to add this solution to our
rapidly expanding portfolio of innovative development tools and kits. Design
engineers may find this latest offering in the development platforms and kits
section on the Knode within the element14 community that contains technical
documents and tutorials for the Firestorm.”
“Making our tools available
through Premier Farnell lets more engineers experience the benefits of designing
with Texas Instruments’ Stellaris microcontrollers” said Miguel Morales,
Director of Marketing, Stellaris Cortex™-M MCUs, Texas Instruments (TI). “As
with all of our other development kits, the LM3S9D96 kit gives engineers all the
necessary hardware and software they will need to jumpstart their designs in 10
minutes or less.”
