Kit Setup

Connecting Programmer to Controller

To use the programmer connect it as shown in the picture. Currently there are two versions of programmers - one which plugs right on top of controller boar, and another one with 20-pin ribbon cable. Both of these versions have a USB receptable on the right side.

Connecting User-interface to Controller

The connection of the user-interface is done through a COMM connector with ribbon cable as shown in the picture.

1. Install Keil uVision Evaluation version
   It is named Software/mdk410.exe on CD. The same evaluation version is available on the uVision homepage.
2. Install StellarisWare
   It's path on CD is Software/SW-LM3S-5570.exe. It can also be downloaded from Texas Instruments Stellaris web page. It is necessary to install the software to the “C:\StellarisWare” folder otherwise example project files should be re-configured.
3. Copy examples to your computer
   Copy Examples folder from CD or from web-page to any place in your harddrive. Please note that after modifing project files, uVision saves file paths as absolute so moving the folder later can cause trouble.
4. Connect the programmer to your computer
   Stellaris Evalution Board clone should be found. Install the device drivers located in Software/Luminary_FTDI_Driver folder on CD or download them from the same site as StellarisWare.

RGB LED demo project opened with Keil uVision

Try any of the example projects with Keil uVision. For example, locate “rgb_led_demo” project and open “rgb_led_demo.uvproj” file. You can use uVision to compile and download project code to an ARM device - there are quickbuttons on the left side of the toolbar for this. Please note that uVision does not reset the device after programming so it is required to press the reset button on the Controller board (the left one) after downloading the code.
