Texas Instruments announced availability of four development kits supporting the fourth generation of its ARM Cortex-M3-based Stellaris MCUs. Starting at $99, the kits allow developers to immediately begin their designs, leveraging the advanced connectivity, data efficiency and motion control features of the newest 32-bit Stellaris MCUs. Further simplifying development, each kit includes the comprehensive StellarisWare Peripheral Driver Library, Graphics Library, USB Library and code examples. Available are two evaluation kits, one development kit and one reference design kit. Each contains an 80 MHz Stellaris MCU with 256K flash, 96K SRAM, StellarisWare software in ROM, as well as integrated Ethernet, USB On-the-Go (OTG)/Host/Device and CAN.
