The Stellaris® LM3S818 controlCARD module is a DIMM form-factor module that can be used standalone or with a range of baseboards to accelerate evaluation and development. Texas Instruments offers a range of controlCARD baseboards for motor and power-control application. In most cases. these are available as complete kits that include a controlCARD module and a baseboard.
To start using the controlCARD module as a standalone module, see the MDL-LM3S818CNCD Read Me First document. To start using the controlCARD module in conjunction with a Texas Instruments’ controlCARD baseboard, see the Read Me First do November 17, 2011...
Hardware Description In addition to an LM3S818 microcontroller, the controlCARD module includes some simple multiplexing logic and an integrated Stellairs in-circuit debug interface (ICDI). This chapter describes how the hardware interfaces to the microcontroller. Figure 2-1 shows the controlCARD module block diagram. Figure 2-1.
Microcontroller and Interfaces (Schematic Page 2) LM3S818 Microcontroller The Stellaris LM3S818 is an ARM Cortex-M3-based microcontroller with 64-KB flash memory, 8- KB SRAM, 50-MHz operation, Motion control PWMs, and a wide range of other peripherals. Refer to the LM3S818 data sheet for complete device details.

External reset is asserted (active low) under any one of these conditions: Power-on reset By the ICDI circuit when instructed by the debugger (this capability is optional, and may not be...
Stellaris® LM3S818 controlCARD Module User’s Manual Power Supplies The controlCARD module is typically powered by the baseboards via the DIMM edge connector. When used as a standalone module, without a baseboard, install wire jumpers to support USB-powered operation. WARNING – Do not install the wire power links if the controlCARD module is installed in a baseboard.
Hardware Description Figure 2-2. controlCARD Module Isolation The controlCARD module may be used without a baseboard. In order to power the non-isolated circuitry, power must be bridged across the isolation barrier as shown in Figure 2-3. November 17, 2011...
Generic Gnu C compiler Texas Instruments' Code Composer Studio™ IDE Baseboards from Texas Instruments may not support all toolchain options. Evaluation versions of these tools may be downloaded from www.ti.com/stellaris. Due to code size restrictions, the evaluation tools may not build all example programs. A full license is necessary to re-build or debug all examples.
Software Development Programming the MDL-LM3S818CNCD controlCARD Module The MDL-LM3S818CNCD software package includes pre-built binaries for each of the example applications. If you installed StellarisWare to the default installation path (C:\StellarisWare), you can find the example applications in "C:\StellarisWare\boards\mdl-lm3s818cncd". The on-board Stellaris ICDI is used along with the Stellaris LM Flash Programmer tool to program applications on the MDL-LM3S818CNCD board.
