Stellaris® LM3S8962 Evaluation Kit
The Stellaris LM3S8962 Evaluation Kit for Ethernet and CAN provides a low-cost way to
start designing Ethernet and controller area network (CAN) applications with Stellaris
microcontrollers. The LM3S8962 Evaluation Board (EVB) can function as either a complete
evaluation target, or as a debugger interface to any external Stellaris device. The included
USB cable is all that is needed to provide power and communication to the host PC.
LM3S8962 Evaluation Board
Requirements
You have a PC, with a USB interface, running Microsoft® Windows 2000. XP, or Vista
You have the Stellaris LM3S8962 Evaluation Kit Documentation and Software CD
Board Set-Up
The LM3S8962 Evaluation Board is configured for immediate use. First, connect the
LM3S8962 Evaluation Board to the LM3S2110 CAN Device Board using the 10-way ribbon
cable included in the kit. The cable inserts into the header labeled CAN on each board. To
power the EVB, use the USB cable supplied in the kit. Connect the mini-b (smaller) end of
the USB cable to the connector labeled "P4" on the EVB. Connect the other end (Type A) to a
free USB port on your host PC. The USB is capable of sourcing up to 500 mA for each
attached device, which is sufficient for the evaluation board. If connecting the board through a
USB hub, it must be a powered hub.
