Connecting Programmer to Controller

To use Programmer connect it like shown on the picture. Currently there are two versions on Programmers - one which plugs right on top of Controller board and another one with 20-pin ribbon cable. Both of these versions have USB receptable on the right side.

Connecting User-interface to Controller

1. Install Keil uVision Evaluation version
   Located in Software/mdk410.exe
2. Install StellarisWare
   Located in Software/SW-LM3S-5570.exe
   It is necessary to install it to the “C:\StellarisWare” folder otherwise example project files should be re-configured.
3. Copy examples to your computer
   Copy Examples folder 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.
5. Connect the programmer with 20 wire ribbon cable to target board and power the board either through the USB port or external 5V power supply

RGB LED demo project opened with Keil uVision

Try any example project file (.uvproj extension) with Keil uVision. You can use uVision to compile and download project code to ARM device. Please note that uVision does not reset the device after programming so it is required to press the reset button (left one) on board after downloading the code.
