Stellaris® LM3S8962 Evaluation Kit
README FIRST
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.

Exit either mode of screen saver by pressing the user pushbutton (SELECT). Press the but- ton again to start the game. The LM3S8962 Evaluation Board uses the CAN module on the LM3S8962 to communicate with the included CAN device board. During game play, the volume is adjusted by using the up and down buttons on the CAN device board. - Page 5 Since there is no DHCP server present to allocate an address to the Ethernet port on the LM3S8962 board, the lwIP stack has defaulted to a preprogrammed IP address. In order to communicate, we need to provide the PCs Ethernet port a suitable address. Depending on the OS that you’re using, the following procedure may be slightly different.
