Evaluation kits provide a low cost, effective means of evaluating Stellaris family microcontrollers. Slightly less feature-rich than Stellaris family Development kits, evaluation kits focus on a single set of tools and a single Stellaris family member. Look here for information on evaluation kits created by Luminary Micro and by our third party partners.
Evaluation kits created by Luminary Micro are all extremely versatile, spanning the spectrum from evaluation to design to application-specific prototyping by functioning both as an evaluation platform and as a serial in-circuit debug interface for any Stellaris-based target board.
