Stellaris LM4F120 Launch Pad

This is my second post. I am very very sorry but I think I posted my first post in the wrong forum and this is the one that is appropriate. Please forgive my error since I am not yet used to this forum format.

Anyway the post is the following

------------------

This is my first post in the forum and I am not really sure if it is the correct place to post it. 

Some years ago I purchased a Stellaris LM4F120 Launch Pad

For one reason or other, I didn't open it, and haven't used it so far. So, right now I finally opened it, and intend to use it to do some development. I am still learning how to do this and what tools to use. I think I installed a IAR Embedded Workbench in my computer some time ago too (again, never used it)

I have found though that apparently this product has been replaced by the Tiva-C Launch Pad....

So I would like to hear any advice, comment or pointer about if I am going to find any problems with the current tools and software and how to proceed.

Can the current boosterpacks work with my pad??

Thousand thanks in advance

I would appreciate any advice on this regard and again my apologies for my mistake

  • Feel your pain.   And note that our small firm has at least ten (similar) "unopened" boards from multiple vendors.

    We've past used IAR and your exact board - the pairing can be made to work.

    That said - the MCU on your board is a very "ramped down" one - it was this vendor's first venture into Cortex M4.   (your board's "class" of MCU)

    In your case - that MCU is without the highly popular PWM Generators.  (it's not just under-served - it has none!)   You can tease the MCU's Timer to create a "lesser" PWM output - as always much depends upon your application.

    If it was me - I'd trade and/or sell your board - and move to this vendor's newer, higher performing (TM4C) devices.    My belief - it's bit pointless to develop w/a "dead/buried" device - and one "hobbled" w/design limitations...
