EKS-LM3S6965 Ethernet Evaluation Kit

The Stellaris LM3S6965 Evaluation Kit provides a compact and versatile evaluation platform for Ethernet enabled Stellaris ARM Cortex-M3-based microcontrollers.

Detailed Description

Each board has an In-Circuit Debug Interface (ICDI) that provides hardware debugging functionality not only for the on-board Stellaris devices, but also for any Stellaris microcontroller-based target board.

Features
The evaluation kit contains all cables, software, and documentation needed to develop and run applications for Stellaris microcontrollers easily and quickly.
