The demand is extremely high, but look at MSP430 similar boards, they are still cheap. Away from the fact that the chip has bugs, most of us will not collide with them; the tutorials available alone with StellarisWare are seriously powerful tools to get started with good knowledge and understanding. Don't keep worrying about the price, even if it gets higher, it won't be truly high to worry about it..

Oh not worried about price at all. The material is great and I'm working on working knowledge, there's just no substitute for getting your hands on the material Smiley

I ordered and received 4 of these boards. Now I must figure out what to do with them. Did you notice that the boards contain two lm4f120 chips. One as the main chip, the other "just" for debugging. Seems to be overkill to me.

I am planning to build something similar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwq0-ocWkYk

Yeah. I saw that video and think it is awesome. May be with an higher resolution and oled graphics display or something. The dsp functionality of the stellaris might be its main asset.

I just noticed that there is a color lcd booster pack available for the stellaris. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWZVqXJTCjU That may be cool with the audio spectrum analyser.

I found this: http://e2e.ti.com/group/microcontrollerprojects/m/msp430microcontrollerprojects/664354.aspx

It was made for the msp430 and will work on stellaris. Don't know where to buy it as it is not an official ti booster pack.

I think the author's site is listed below that image. BTW, AVR Studio 6 is heading on the same track, there is a gallery for plugins that are free at the moment, but later on as the gallery matures, things will cost money.

Hi,
energia-0101E0009 is out.
Download from here:
https://github.com/energia/Energia/downloads

An Arduino like IDE, now support  Stellaris LM4F120 LaunchPad.

As alexisnik said, the stellaris launchpad ek-lm4f120xl has 2.54mm pitch pins with JTAG signals, can this be used to debug and program another board? If it can be used to program another board, will it work with lm4f120 series or can it program all stellaris controllers?

Has anyone tried it? I got the launchpad and would like to use stellaris controllers for my projects.

Thanks.

YES, it can be used to program any Stellaris MCU (M3 and M4). I have programmed a LM3S9B92 I think.

The instructions are somewhere in the TI wiki, I don't have them handy...

EK-LM4F120XL board,
error programming

No ICDI device with USB VID:PID 1cbe:00fd found!
Failed!

I have CCS installed and licensed, LM flash programer working properly, but failed through energia, I am using win 7

any help?

alexisnik can up please help out, what do I need to do to program another board from launchpad, should I cut the Jtag signals going to on board stellaris or just take the signals to another board. Which software did you use? Is debug possible on another board?

If you can give me the wiki link it would be great.

Thanks.

did you install ICDI drivers? You must install ICDI drivers first. Make sure there are not unknown devices in device manager. I have tested the launch pad with CCS Version: 5.2.1.00018 in win 7 pro, and the sample code from

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Getting_Started_with_the_Stellaris_EK-LM4F120XL_LaunchPad_Workshop

I tried launchpad with 3.5"QVGA LCD Display BoosterPack, downloaded and debugged sample code.

I believe it is this link:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Stellaris_LM4F120_LaunchPad_Debug_How_To

It's been some time since I tried it...

I should work with any compiler (CCS / IAR at least...)
