All Stellaris development and evaluation kits ship with a rich set of applications that provide examples of how to use Stellaris microcontrollers and the StellarisWare software. Every kit ships with a quickstart application that is tailored to use the features provided on the evaluation board. Because the quickstart application uses many of the peripherals on the board simultaneously, the kits also ship with a set of simpler applications. These simpler applications provide stand-alone coding examples for all peripherals that are supported in the kit. To support user development with the kit, source code and project files are provided for the quickstart application and the simpler example applications. Documentation is provided for all example projects that explains the functionality of each example application.

Sample applications for nearly every peripheral are included in the Stellaris Family Driver Library (PDL-LM3S-EXE). Download the separate users guide (PDL-GRL-UG) to see the complete application list with detailed function references and sample application details .
