• Ekk8962 development kit consists of two arm evaluation boards: EVB8962 Host board and CAN device board. These two boards both respectively include Stellaris microcontrollers.
  
• With the combination of these two boards, it is easy to implement the complete CAN communication function.
  
• The kit integrates debugger, only an USB cable can you easily implement the debug and flash download with the Keil MDK software in your host pc.

Luminary Micro, Inc. designs, markets, and sells ARM® Cortex(TM)-M3-based microcontrollers (MCUs). As ARM's lead partner for Cortex-M3 technology, Luminary Micro delivers the world's first silicon implementation of the Cortex-M3 processor, providing 32-bit performance at 8-/16-bit cost. Luminary Micro's award-winning Stellaris family of microcontrollers incorporates the Cortex-M3 MCU core running up to 50 MHz, embedded flash and SRAM, a 32-ch DMA, a low drop-out voltage regulator, battery backed low-power hibernation capability, integrated brown-out reset and power-on reset functions, analog comparators, 10-bit ADC, GPIOs, and watchdog and general purpose timers. The family also integrates several serial interfaces, including 10/100 Ethernet MAC+PHY, CAN, USB On-The-Go, USB Host/Device, SSI/SPI, UARTs, and I2C. Finally, the Stellaris family features peripherals designed specifically for intense industrial motor control, including motion control PWMs and quadrature encoder inputs. With every peripheral provided directly to the pins without feature multiplexing, the Stellaris family is favorably positioned for cost-conscious applications requiring significant control processing and connectivity capabilities, including motion control, monitoring (remote, fire/security, etc.), HVAC and building controls, power and energy monitoring and conversion, network appliances and switches, factory automation, electronic point-of-sale machines, test and measurement equipment, medical instrumentation, and gaming equipment.

• With entry-level pricing at $1.00 for an ARM technology-based MCU, Luminary Micro's Stellaris product line allows for standardization that eliminates future architectural upgrades or software tools changes.
  
• With an ARM-based embedded market that is currently shipping at a rate of greater than 3.2 billion processors per year, the ARM ecosystem of third-party tools and solutions providers is the largest in the world.
  
• With the ARM Cortex architecture, designers have access to an instruction-set-compatible family that ranges from $1 to 1 GHz.
