hello everyone,
Guys could any suggest me a development kit that has a ARM CORTEX M3 core & on-board CAN , USB & Ethernet ports along with their respective driver ICs.
with regards.
Amit
Might 2 out of 3 hold you? BLDC-RDK board has both CAN & Ethernet - and driver ICs installed on board for both. Alas - no USB. Believe this site provides small USB to serial adapter board (FTDI-based) which would extend you into final third - I don't have that part no. but search should reveal... FTDI themselves make multiple versions of USB to "whatever" - that provides even wider option for you...
Amit,
The LM3S9D96 development kit has all three of your required features.
Hi John,
thanks a lot for you suggestion, ur rite LM3S9D96 development kit has every thing it, but i think its bit expensive, it would be of great help if could suggest me some boards which are a bit chipper.
i have found out some boards such as TMDXCNCDH52C1 , TMS570LS31x Hercules Development Kit , but they donot contain all the peripherals that i require...
with regards...
hello cb1_mobile,
ur absolutely rite, i have also explored some boards & found the same thing.. the boards which contains all the 3 features as suggest by JOHN r too expensive, & the cheaper boards only contain 2 /3 peripheral...
any way thanks a lot for ur suggestion, but do infom me 1 u cum accross such boards..
with regards..

I think your price expectations may be unrealistic here?
I think the TI boards are pretty reasonably priced relative to other comparable boards?

Mon Ami,
You do realize - while sitting in Queen's Box @ Wimbledon & Olympics - that not everyone enjoys hallowed life-style of esteemed "Guru." (at least - jacked up "Olympic" consulting fees should return to norm - shortly...one hopes)
Again - great, great job by your namesake - hope that's the spark he needed...
The EK-LM3S8962 has everything you want plus a 128x96 pixel display. Price $89.00. You even get a second board with an LM3S2110 microcontrollr on it to practice CAN communication, or whatever.
Vito,
The LM3S8962 chip on the evaluation kit is not suitable for Amit's purpose, as it does not have USB capability. The USB jack on the board is used only for a debug interface to an FTDI chip, which is then connected to the UART0 TX and RX pins on the 8962.
If your requirements (e.g. school project or prototype development) allow the attaching of an external chip to the evaluation board, a cheap option would be to buy a EK-LM3S9D90, which has USB and Ethernet on the board. The 9D90 chip on the board is CAN capable, but there is no transceiver on the board so you would have to wire in a CAN transceiver such as the SN65HVD251.
@ Amit, Much like (and bow) to Stellaris John's suggestion - best yet. Here's why: you must avoid - at all costs - the care/handling/assembly of ethernet chip - little good comes from prototype attempts with such beasts. (do not ask how I know) USB is bit easier but still bit tricky - again best left to those w/experience & professional assembly. Now comes CAN - and the device John suggests is (ahem) exact same we chose in our BLDC motor design. (thus - must be good) We chose the tiniest package (have modern pick/place/reflow) but I note that this device is available in small soic form - which you should be able to handle.
Install as close to your MCU as you can - such CAN transceiver is the easiest install/care/handling of your 3 requests - thus an excellent choice by John. Accept his recommendation...
John,
The LM3S8962 development board user manaul a states:
An FT2232 device from Future Technology Devices International Ltd. manages USB-to-serial conversion. The FT2232 is factory-configured to implement a JTAG/SWD port (synchronous serial) on channel A and a Virtual COM Port (VCP) on channel B. This feature allows two simultaneous communications links between the host computer and the target device using a single USB cable. Separate Windows drivers for each function are provided on the Documentation and Software CD.
This suggests that the USB port can be used for multiple purposes.
Regards, Vito
The USB port is not part of the LM3S8962, it is a separate device on the development board. This is not appropriate for prototyping a USB device based on the Stellaris family.

Mr. Hatfield - may I introduce Mr. McCoy?
Believe you're both correct - we've all pitched in and tried to assist original poster... Choice remains his...
Vito CasaBut Amit wants a "development kit" with the features he wants, not a "microcontroller chip" with the features he wants. :-)
It is not clear whether Amit wanted the USB to be on the microcontroller itself, or just on the board...
