Luminary Micro has announced the immediate availability of its Stellaris LM3S811 Evaluation Kit paired with the IAR Embedded Workbench KickStart Edition development tools. The IAR Embedded Workbench is a powerful set of essential build and debug tools for embedded projects using both C and C++.
The KickStart Edition allows projects of up to 32Kbyte code size, enabling users to take advantage of the power of the Stellaris LM3S811 ARM Cortex-M3-based microcontroller.
'The KickStart Edition of IAR's Embedded Workbench - with its generous 32Kbyte evaluation limit for code - combined with one of Luminary Micro's most popular hardware evaluation platforms provides a powerful platform for users to put the kit to full use doing real work', said Luminary Micro Chief Marketing Officer Jean Anne Booth.
Measuring just 3.5 x 1.5in, the Stellaris LM3S811 Evaluation Kit is exceptional for its compactness and versatility, spanning the design spectrum from evaluation to prototyping to application-specific design by functioning as both an evaluation platform for the Stellaris LM3S811 microcontroller and a serial in-circuit debug interface for any Stellaris microcontroller-based target board.
The kit features: a 50MHz Stellaris LM3S811 ARM Cortex-M3-based microcontroller; a 96 x 16 pixel OLED display; user-programmable pushbutton and LED; convenient reset push button and power indicator LED; thumbwheel potentiometer input to the on-chip ADC; serial in-circuit debug interface over USB; the Stellaris Peripheral Driver Library; the KickStart Edition of the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM supporting up to 32Kbyte code sise; port and example application using FreeRTOS.org small footprint real time operating system; and a Stellaris CD packed with datasheets, schematics, applications notes, and programming examples.
In addition, the IAR KickStart Edition Evaluation Kit also supports demonstration applications available for download and trial use from the Luminary Micro website.

The board is powered over USB (cable included) and contains silk-screened through-hole-mount pin headers that can be user populated with pin stake headers for use in hardware prototyping.
Utilising a standard 20-pin ARM JTAG debug cable (also included), the Stellaris LM3S811 Evaluation Kit can be used as a serial in-circuit emulator for the user's application-specific target board.
'The LM3S811 microcontroller at the heart of the kit is a representative example of how Luminary Micro has put ARM's groundbreaking Cortex-M3 processor core to use in a highly cost-effective way', said Mats Ullstrom, Product Director at IAR Systems.
'This kit is an excellent way to get familiar with both hardware and development tools'.
The Stellaris LM3S811 Evaluation Kit with the KickStart Edition of IAR Embedded Workbench, ordering part number EKI-LM3S811, is available now through Luminary Micro's global sales channel at a resale price of just US $49.
The kit will also be resold by IAR Systems' worldwide net of sales offices and distributors.
