Features: - RiT P14201 series display - 128 columns by 96 rows - 4-bit, 16-level gray scale. - High-contrast (typ. 500:1) - Excellent brightness (120 cd/m2) - Fast 10 us response. The OLED display has a built-in controller IC with synchronous serial and parallel interfaces (SSD1329). Synchronous serial (SSI) is used on the EVB. The SSI port is shared with the microSD card slot. - PC7: OLED display data/control select (D/Cn) - PA3: OLED display chip select (CSn) NOTE: Newer versions of the LM3S8962 Evaluation Kit has an OSAM 128x64x4 OLED display. Some tweaks to drivers/lcd/p14201.c would be required to support that LCD. USB Device Controller Functions ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Device Overview An FT2232 device from Future Technology Devices International Ltd manages USB-to-serial conversion. The FT2232 is factory configured by Luminary Micro to implement a JTAG/SWD port (synchronous serial) on channel A and a Virtual COM Port (VCP) on channel B. This feature allows two simultaneous communications links between the host computer and the target device using a single USB cable. Separate Windows drivers for each function are provided on the Documentation and Software CD. Debugging with JTAG/SWD The FT2232 USB device performs JTAG/SWD serial operations under the control of the debugger or the Luminary Flash Programmer. It also operate as an In-Circuit Debugger Interface (ICDI), allowing debugging of any external target board. Debugging modes: MODE DEBUG FUNCTION USE SELECTED BY 1 Internal ICDI Debug on-board LM3S8962 Default Mode microcontroller over USB interface. 2 ICDI out to JTAG/SWD The EVB is used as a USB Connecting to an external header to SWD/JTAG interface to target and starting debug an external target. software.

Virtual COM Port The Virtual COM Port (VCP) allows Windows applications (such as HyperTerminal) to communicate with UART0 on the LM3S8962 over USB. Once the FT2232 VCP driver is installed, Windows assigns a COM port number to the VCP channel. Stellaris LM3S8962 Evaluation Kit Configuration Options ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ CONFIG_ARCH - Identifies the arch/ subdirectory. This should be set to: CONFIG_ARCH=arm CONFIG_ARCH_family - For use in C code: CONFIG_ARCH_ARM=y CONFIG_ARCH_architecture - For use in C code: CONFIG_ARCH_CORTEXM3=y CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP - Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP=lm CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code to identify the exact chip: CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_LM3S8962 CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the boards/ subdirectory and hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC. CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=lm3s8962-ek (for the Stellaris LM3S8962 Evaluation Kit) CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_LM3S8962EK CONFIG_ARCH_LOOPSPERMSEC - Must be calibrated for correct operation of delay loops CONFIG_ENDIAN_BIG - define if big endian (default is little endian) CONFIG_RAM_SIZE - Describes the installed DRAM (SRAM in this case): CONFIG_RAM_SIZE=0x00010000 (64Kb) CONFIG_RAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM CONFIG_RAM_START=0x20000000 CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LEDs to show state. Unique to boards that have LEDs CONFIG_ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK - This architecture supports an interrupt stack. If defined, this symbol is the size of the interrupt stack in bytes. If not defined, the user task stacks will be used during interrupt handling. CONFIG_ARCH_STACKDUMP - Do stack dumps after assertions CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LEDs to show state. Unique to board architecture. There are configurations for disabling support for interrupts GPIO ports. GPIOJ must be disabled because it does not exist on the LM3S8962. Additional interrupt support can be disabled if desired to reduce memory footprint. CONFIG_TIVA_GPIOA_IRQS=y CONFIG_TIVA_GPIOB_IRQS=y CONFIG_TIVA_GPIOC_IRQS=y CONFIG_TIVA_GPIOD_IRQS=y CONFIG_TIVA_GPIOE_IRQS=y CONFIG_TIVA_GPIOF_IRQS=y CONFIG_TIVA_GPIOG_IRQS=y CONFIG_TIVA_GPIOH_IRQS=y CONFIG_TIVA_GPIOJ_IRQS=n << Always LM3S8962 specific device driver settings CONFIG_UARTn_SERIAL_CONSOLE - selects the UARTn for the console and ttys0 (default is the UART0). CONFIG_UARTn_RXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered as received. This specific the size of the receive buffer CONFIG_UARTn_TXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered before being sent. This specific the size of the transmit buffer CONFIG_UARTn_BAUD - The configure BAUD of the UART. Must be CONFIG_UARTn_BITS - The number of bits. Must be either 7 or 8. CONFIG_UARTn_PARTIY - 0=no parity, 1=odd parity, 2=even parity CONFIG_UARTn_2STOP - Two stop bits CONFIG_TIVA_SSI0 - Select to enable support for SSI0 CONFIG_TIVA_SSI1 - Select to enable support for SSI1 CONFIG_SSI_POLLWAIT - Select to disable interrupt driven SSI support. Poll-waiting is recommended if the interrupt rate would be to high in the interrupt driven case. CONFIG_SSI_TXLIMIT - Write this many words to the Tx FIFO before emptying the Rx FIFO. If the SPI frequency is high and this value is large, then larger values of this setting may cause Rx FIFO overrun errors. Default: half of the Tx FIFO size (4). CONFIG_TIVA_ETHERNET - This must be set (along with CONFIG_NET) to build the Stellaris Ethernet driver CONFIG_TIVA_ETHLEDS - Enable to use Ethernet LEDs on the board. CONFIG_TIVA_BOARDMAC - If the board-specific logic can provide a MAC address (via tiva_ethernetmac()), then this should be selected. CONFIG_TIVA_ETHHDUPLEX - Set to force half duplex operation CONFIG_TIVA_ETHNOAUTOCRC - Set to suppress auto-CRC generation CONFIG_TIVA_ETHNOPAD - Set to suppress Tx padding CONFIG_TIVA_MULTICAST - Set to enable multicast frames CONFIG_TIVA_PROMISCUOUS - Set to enable promiscuous mode CONFIG_TIVA_BADCRC - Set to enable bad CRC rejection. CONFIG_TIVA_DUMPPACKET - Dump each packet received/sent to the console. Configurations ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Each Stellaris LM3S8962 Evaluation Kit configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and can be selected as follow: tools/configure.sh lm3s8962-ek: Where is one of the following: nsh: Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh. NOTES: 1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. To change this configurations using that tool, you should: a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool. See nuttx/README.txt see additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository. b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the reconfiguration process. 2. This configuration uses Cygwin under Windows with the NuttX buildroot tool chain. This is eaily change by modifying the following: CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y 3. The configuration enables both the serial and telnetd NSH interfaces. 4. As it is configured now, you MUST have a network connected. Otherwise, the NSH prompt will not come up because the Ethernet driver is waiting for the network to come up. That is probably a bug in the Ethernet driver behavior! nx An example using the NuttX graphics system (NX). This example focuses on general window controls, movement, mouse and keyboard input.
