Stellaris® LM3S6965 Evaluation Kit
The Stellaris LM3S6965 Evaluation Kit for Ethernet provides a low-cost way to start
designing Ethernet applications with Stellaris microcontrollers. The LM3S6965 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.
LM3S6965 Evaluation Board
Requirements
You have a PC, with a USB interface, running Microsoft® Windows 2000. XP, or Vista
You have the Stellaris LM3S6965 Evaluation Kit Documentation and Software CD
Board Set-Up
The LM3S6965 Evaluation Board is configured for immediate use. 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 "USB TO JTAG/SWD" 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.

Page 7: Quickstart Application
Exit either mode of screen saver by pressing the user pushbutton (SELECT). Press the button again to start the game. The LM3S6965 microcontroller contains an Ethernet controller, which is also used by the game. During the game, a user can attach the board to a LAN. If there is a DHCP server present on the LAN, the board attempts to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. - Page 8 IP address as 169.254.19.60 and your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0, as shown below. Now you can connect your host machine directly to the LM3S6965 evaluation board with the Ethernet cable provided in the evaluation kit. The integrated PHY on the LM3S6965 has an Auto-MDX feature which allows you to use a straight-though or cross-over Ethernet cable.
