C H A P T E R 2 LM3S8962 Evaluation Board Hardware Description In addition to a microcontroller, the Stellaris LM3S8962 evaluation board includes a range of useful peripherals and an integrated in-circuit debug interface (ICDI). This chapter describes how these peripherals operate and interface to the microcontroller.
SWO for trace). The debugger determines which debug protocol is used. Debugging Modes The LM3S8962 evaluation board supports a range of hardware debugging configurations. Table 2-1 summarizes these configurations. Table 2-1. Stellaris LM3S8962 Evaluation Board Hardware Debugging Configurations Mode Debug Function Selected by...
An FT2232 device from Future Technology Devices International Ltd. manages USB-to-serial conversion. The FT2232 is factory-configured by Luminary Micro to implement a JTAG/SWD port (synchronous serial) on channel A and a Virtual COM Port (VCP) on channel B. This feature allows two simultaneous communications links between the host computer and the target device using a single USB cable.
LM3S8962 Evaluation Board Hardware Description Power Supply A +15-V supply is needed to bias the OLED display. A FAN5331 device from Fairchild combines with a few external components to complete a boost converter. A GPIO (PA7) is assigned to turn on and off the controller as necessary for power rail sequencing.
Using the In-Circuit Debugger Interface The Stellaris LM3S8962 Evaluation Kit can operate as an In-Circuit Debugger Interface (ICDI). ICDI acts as a USB to the JTAG/SWD adaptor, allowing debugging of any external target board that uses a Stellaris microcontroller. See “Debugging Modes” on page 16 for a description of how to enter Debug Out mode.

A P P E N D I X B Connection Details This appendix contains the following sections: Component Locations (see page 30) Evaluation Board Dimensions (see page 31) I/O Breakout Pads (see page 32) LM3S2110 CAN Device Board Connections (see page 33) Recommended Connectors (see page 33) ARM Target Pinout (see page 34) References (see page 35)
I/O Breakout Pads The LM3S8962 EVB has 42 I/O pads, 14 power pads, 2 crystal connections, and 2 no-connects, for a total of 60 pads. Connection can be made by soldering wires directly to these pads, or by using 0.1" pitch headers and sockets. Note: In Table B-2, an asterisk (*) by a signal name (also on the EVB PCB) indicates the signal is normally used for on-board functions.
ARM Target Pinout In ICDI input and output mode, the Stellaris LM3S8962 Evaluation Kit supports ARM’s standard 20-pin JTAG/SWD configuration. The same pin configuration can be used for debugging over serial-wire debug (SWD) and JTAG interfaces. The debugger software, running on the PC, determines which interface protocol is used.
