Introduction
ARM® Cortex™-M3 and Cortex™-M4 are increasingly popular
microcontrollers. They are rich with modules, with high performance and
low power consumption, so creating a development board the size of
EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris® was really a challenge. We wanted to
put as many peripherals on the board as possible, to cover many
internal modules. We have gone through a process of fine tuning
the board performance, and used 4-layer PCB to achieve maximum
efficiency. Finally, it had met all of our expectations, and even
exceeded in some. We present you the board which is powerful,
well organized, with on-board programmer and debugger and
is ready to be your strong ally in development.

power supply
Power supply
Board contains switching power
supply that creates stable voltage
and current levels necessary
for powering each part of
the board. Power supply
section contains specialized
MC33269DT3.3 power regulator
which creates VCC-3.3V power supply,
thus making the board capable of supporting
3.3V microcontrollers. Power supply unit can be
powered in three different ways: with USB power supply
(CN5), using external adapters via adapter connector (CN16)
or additional screw terminals (CN15). External adapter voltage levels
must be in range of 9-32V DC and 7-23V AC. Use jumper J1 to specify
which power source you are using. Upon providing the power using either external
adapters or USB power source you can turn on power supply by using SWITCH 1 (Figure
3-1). Power LED ON (Green) will indicate the presence of power supply.

the socket, make sure that the power supply is
turned off. Images below show how to correctly
plug the MCU card. First make sure that MCU card
orientation matches the silkscreen outline on the
1
Figure 4-3: On-board MCU
socket has silkscreen
markings which will help
you to correctly orient the
MCU card before inserting.
page 10
EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris® board MCU socket.
Place the MCU card over the socket so each male
header is properly aligned with the female socket
as shown in Figure 4-4. Then put the MCU card
slowly down until all the pins match the socket.

Figure 4-4:
Place the
MCU card on
the socket
so that pins
are aligned
correctly.
Check again if everything is placed correctly and
press the MCU card until it is completely plugged

Hardware Debugger
What is Debugging?
Every developer comes to a point where he has to monitor the
code execution in order to find errors in the code, or simply
to see if everything is going as planed. This hunt for bugs,
or errors in the code is called debugging. There are two ways
to do this: one is the software simulation, which enables
you to simulate what is supposed to be happening on the
microcontroller as your code lines are executed, and the other,
most reliable one, is monitoring the code execution on the
MCU itself. And this latter one is called hardware debugging.
"hardware" means that it is the real deal - code executes right on
the target device.
How do I use the debugger?
When you build your project for debugging, and program the microcontroller with this HEX file, you can
start the debugger using [F9] command. Compiler will change layout to debugging view, and a blue line
will mark where code execution is currently paused. Use debugging toolbar in the Watch Window
to guide the program execution, and stop anytime. Add the desired variables to Watch Window and
monitor their values.
What is hardware debugger?
The on-board mikroProg™ programmer supports hardware
debugger - a highly effective tool for a Real-Time debugging
on hardware level. The debugger enables you to execute your
program on the host Stellaris® microcontroller and view variable
values, Special Function Registers (SFR), RAM, CODE and EEPROM
memory along with the code execution on hardware. Whether you
are a beginner, or a professional, this powerful tool, with intuitive
interface and convenient set of commands will enable you to track
down bugs quickly. mikroProg debugger is one of the fastest, and
most reliable debugging tools on the market.
Supported Compilers
All MikroElektronika compilers, mikroC™, mikroBasic™ and
mikroPascal™ for ARM® natively support mikroProg™ for
Stellaris®, as well as other compilers, including KEIL®, IAR® and
CCS®. Specialized DLL module allows compilers to exploit the
full potential of fast hardware debugging. Along with compilers,
make sure to install the appropriate programmer drivers
and mikroProg Suite™ for ARM® programming software, as
described on pages 14 and 15.

Here is a short overview of debugging commands which are supported in mikroElektronika compilers. You can see what each command does,
and what are their shortcuts when you are in debugging mode. It will give you some general picture of what your debugger can do.

Input/Output Group
One of the most distinctive features of EasyMx
PRO™ v7 for Stellaris® are it’s Input/Output PORT
groups. They add so much to the connectivity potential
of the board.
Everything is grouped together
Figure 6-1: I/O group contains PORT header, tri-state pull
PORT headers, PORT buttons and PORT LEDs next to each other and grouped
up/down DIP switch, buttons and LEDs all in one place
together. It makes development easier, and the entire EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris®
cleaner and well organized. We have also provided an additional PORT headers on the right side of the board, so you can access any pin you want from that
side of the board too.

Tri-state DIP switches, like SW5 on Figure 6-3, are
used to enable 4K7 pull-up or pull-down resistor on
any desired port pin. Each of these switches has three
states:
1. middle position disables both pull-up and pull-down
feature from the PORT pin
2. up position connects the resistor in pull-up state to
the selected pin
3. down position connects the resistor in pull-down
state to the selected PORT pin.

0.2mA to 20mA, depending on the type of the LED and
the manufacturer. The EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris®
board uses low-current LEDs with typical current
consumption of 0.2mA or
0.3mA. Board contains 72
LEDs which can be used
for visual indication of the
logic state on PORT pins. An

Figure 6-5: Button press
is available for selecting
level DIP switch (tri-state)
which logic state will
be applied to corresponding MCU pin when button is
pressed, for each I/O port separately. If you, for example,
place SW16.5 in VCC position, then pressing of any push
button in PORTE I/O group will apply logic one to the
appropriate microcontroller pin. The same goes for GND.
If DIP switch is in the middle position neither of two logic
states will be applied to the appropriate microcontroller
pin. You can disable pin protection 220ohm resistors by
placing jumpers J6 and J7, which will connect your push
buttons directly to VCC or GND. Be aware that doing
so you may accidentally damage MCU in case of wrong
usage.

mikroBUS sockets
™
Easier connectivity and simple configuration
are imperative in modern electronic devices.
Success of the USB standard comes from it’s
simplicity of usage and high and reliable data
transfer rates. As we in mikroElektronika see it,
Plug-and-Play devices with minimum settings
are the future in embedded world too. This is
why our engineers have come up with a simple,
but brilliant pinout with lines that most of
today’s accessory boards require, which almost
completely eliminates the need of additional
hardware settings. We called this new standard
the mikroBUS™. EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris®
supports mikroBUS™ with two on-board sockets.
As you can see, there are no additional DIP
switches, or jumper selections. Everything is
already routed to the most appropriate pins of
the microcontroller sockets.
mikroBUS™ host connector
Each mikroBUS™ host connector consists of two
1x8 female headers containing pins that are
most likely to be used in the target accessory
board. There are three groups of communication
pins: SPI, UART and I2C communication. There
are also single pins for PWM, Interrupt,
Analog input, Reset and Chip Select. Pinout
contains two power groups: +5V and GND on
one header and +3.3V and GND on the other
1x8 header.

The UART (universal asynchronous receiver/trans­
mitter) is one of the most common ways of exchanging
data between the MCU and peripheral components. It is a serial
protocol with separate transmit and receive lines, and can be used for
full-duplex communication. Both sides must be initialized with the
same baud rate, otherwise the data will not be received correctly.
Enabling USB-UART A
Modern PC computers, laptops and notebooks are no longer
equipped with RS-232 connectors and UART controllers. They
are nowadays replaced with USB connectors and USB
controllers. Still, certain technology enables UART

USB-UART A communication is being done
through a FT232RL controller, USB connector
(CN7), and microcontroller UART module. To
establish this connection, you must connect RX and
TX lines of the FT232RL to the appropriate pins of
the microcontroller. This selection is done using DIP
switches SW10.1 and SW10.2.
In order to enable USB-UART A
communication you must push
SW10.1 (PA1) and SW10.2 (PA0)

USB-UART B
If you need to use more than one USB-UART in your
application, you have another USB-UART B connector available
on the board too. Both available USB-UART modules can operate at the
same time, because they are routed to separate microcontroller pins.
Enabling USB-UART B
USB-UART B communication is being done through a FT232RL
controller, USB connector (CN9), and microcontroller UART
module. To establish this connection, you must connect RX
and TX lines of the FT232RL to the appropriate pins of
the microcontroller. This selection is done using DIP
switches SW10.3 and SW10.4.
In order to use USB-UART B module on EasyMx PRO™ v7 for
Stellaris®, you must first install FTDI drivers on your computer.
Drivers can be found on Product DVD:
In order to enable USB-UART B
communication, you must push
SW10.3 (PD3) and SW10.4 (PD2)
to ON position. This connects the
RX and TX lines to PD2 and PD3
microcontroller pins.

USB is the acronym for Universal Serial
Bus. This is a very popular standard that
defines cables, connectors and protocols
used for communication and power
supply between computers and other
devices. EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris®
contains USB HOST connector (CN11)
for USB Standard Type A plug, which
enables microcontrollers that support USB
communication to establish a connection
with the target device (eg. USB Keyboard,
USB Mouse, etc). USB host also provides
the necessary 5V power supply to the
target. Maximum power which can be
drawn depends on the power consumption
of the EasyMx PRO™ for Stellaris® board
itself. Microcontroller USB data lines are
directly connected to MCU card socket
pins.
Powering USB device

EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris® also
contains USB DEVICE connector (CN10)
which enables microcontrollers that
support USB communication to establish
a connection with the target host (eg. PC,
Laptop, etc). It lets you build a slave USB
device (HID, Composite, Generic, etc.).
Connector supports USB Standard Type
B plug. Detection whether USB DEVICE
is connected to HOST can be done
through VBUS line. This line is traced
to microcontroller PB1 pin. Connection
of USB DEVICE VCC line and PB1 pin is
established when SW10.8 DIP switch is
in ON position. When connected to HOST,
dedicated amber-colored power LED will
light up as well. This VCC line cannot be
used for powering the board. It's only
used for detecting connection.
Detecting connection

MCU CARD SOCKET
Ethernet is a popular computer networ­king
technology for local area networks (LAN).
Systems communicating over Ethernet
divide a stream of data into individual
packets called frames. Each frame contains
source and destination addresses and
error-checking data so that damaged
data can be detected and re-transmitted.
EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris® features
standard RJ-45 connector which enables
microcontrollers that support Ethernet
communication to establish a connection
with a computer, router or other devices.
All four Ethernet lines (TPOUT+, TPOUT-,
TPIN+ and TPIN-) are routed directly to the
MCU card socket and cannot be accessed
via PORT headers. Additional signalization
LEDs (green and yellow) are provided on
the board next to RJ-45 connector.
Enabling Eth. LEDs
Figure 12-2: Enabling ethernet

In order to enable Ethernet LEDs,
you must place J12 and J11
jumpers. This connects the LEDA
and LEDB lines to PF3 and PF2
microcontroller pins.

Controller Area Network (CAN or CAN
bus) is a vehicle bus standard designed
to allow microcontrollers and devices to
communicate with each other within a
vehicle without a host computer. CAN
is a message-based protocol, designed
specifically for automotive applications
but now also used in other areas such
as industrial automation and medical
equipment. EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris®
is equipped with SN65HVD230 – a 3.3V
CAN Transceiver and a pair of screw
terminals which provide microcontrollers
with integrated CAN controller with
the necessary physical interface for
CAN communication. Make sure to
correctly connect negative and positive
differential communication lines before
using this module.
Enabling CAN

multimedia
Audio I/O
It's hard to imagine modern multimedia devices without high quality audio reproduction
modules. Sounds and music are almost as important as graphical user interfaces.
Along with other multimedia modules, EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris® contains highend stereo VS1053 audio codec. It features Ogg Vorbis/MP3/AAC/WMA/FLAC/WAV/
MIDI audio decoder, as well as an PCM/IMA ADPCM/Ogg Vorbis encoder on a single
chip. Board also contains two stereo audio connectors for interfacing with standard
3.5mm stereo audio jacks. VS1053 receives the input bit stream through a serial input
bus, which it listens to as a system slave. The input stream is decoded and passed
through a digital volume control to an 18-bit oversampling, multi-bit, sigma-delta
Digital to Analog Converter (DAC). The
decoding is controlled via a serial control
bus. In addition to the basic decoding,
it is possible to add application specific
features like DSP effects to the user RAM
memory. You can build music players,
audio recording devices, internet radio
player applications, and much more.

Touch panel is a glass panel whose surface is covered
with two layers of resistive material. When the screen is
pressed, the outer layer is pushed onto the inner layer
and appropriate controllers can measure that pressure
and pinpoint its location. This is how touch panels can be
used as an input devices. EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris® is

controller
equipped with touch panel controller and connector for
4-wire resistive touch panels. It can very accurately
register pressure at a specific point, representing the
touch coordinates in the form of analog voltages, which
can then be easily converted to X and Y values. Touch
panel comes as a part of TFT 320x240 display.

When working with multi­
media applications it is far
more intuitive to use a single
joystick than several different
push buttons that are more
far apart. This is more natural
for users and they can browse
through on-screen menus, or even
play games much easier. EasyMx
PRO™ v7 for Stellaris® features
navigation switch with five different
positions: Up, Down, Left, Right and
Center. Each of those acts as a button,
and is connected to one of the following
microcontrollers pins: PB0, PE5, PB7, PE4, PH2
(respectively). Before using the navigation switch,
it is necessary to pull-up mentioned microcontroller pins
using tri-state DIP switches located in I/O groups. After pressing
the navigation switch in desired direction, associated microcontroller pins are
connected to GND, which can be detected in user software.

Piezoelectricity is the charge which accumulates in
certain solid materials in response to mechanical pressure,
but also providing the charge to the piezo electric material
causes it to physically deform. One of the most widely used
applications of piezoelectricity is the production of sound
generators, called piezo buzzers. Piezo buzzer is an electric
component that comes in different shapes and sizes, which
can be used to create sound waves when provided with
analog electrical signal. EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris®
comes with piezo buzzer which can be connected to PA6
microcontroller pin. Connection is established using SW12.1
DIP switch. Buzzer is driven by transistor Q2 (Figure 19-1).
Microcontrollers can create sound by generating a PWM
(Pulse Width Modulated) signal – a square wave signal,
which is nothing more than a sequence of logic zeros and
multimedia
Piezo Buzzer
ones. Frequency of the square signal determines
the pitch of the generated sound, and duty cycle of
the signal can be used to increase or decrease the
volume in the range from 0% to 100% of the duty
cycle. You can generate PWM signal using hardware
capture-compare module, which is usually available in
most microcontrollers, or by writing a custom software
which emulates the desired signal waveform.
Supported sound frequencies
Piezo buzzer’s resonant frequency (where you can expect
it's best performance) is 3.8kHz, but you can also use it to
create sound in the range between 2kHz and 4kHz.

How to make it sing?
Buzzer starts "singing" when you provide
PWM signal from the microcontroller
to the buzzer driver. The pitch of the
sound is determined by the frequency,
and amplitude is determined by the
duty cycle of the PWM signal.

DS1820 - Digital
Temperature Sensor
DS1820 is a digital temperature
sensor that uses 1-wire®
interface for it’s operation. It is
capable of measuring temperatures
within the range of -55 to 128°C,
and provides ±0.5°C accuracy for
temperatures within the range of -10 to
85°C. It requires 3V to 5.5V power supply
for stable operation. It takes maximum
of 750ms for the DS1820 to calculate
temperature with 9-bit resolution.
1-wire® serial communication enables
data to be transferred over a single
communication line, while the process
itself is under the control of the master
microcontroller. The advantage of
such communication is that only one
microcontroller pin is used. Multiple
sensors can be connected on the same
line. All slave devices by default have
a unique ID code, which enables the
master device to easily identify all
devices sharing the same interface.
Board provides a separate socket (TS1)
for the DS1820. Communication line
with the microcontroller is selected
using J8 jumper.

the socket make sure that half-circle on the board silkscreen markings matches
the rounded part of the DS1820 sensor. If you accidentally connect the sensor
the other way, it may be permanently damaged. Make sure to disconnect other
peripherals, LEDs and additional pull-up or pull-down resistors from the interface
lines in order not to interfere with signal/data integrity.

The LM35 is a low-cost precision
integrated-circuit temperature sensor,
whose output voltage is linearly
proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade)
temperature. The LM35 thus has an
advantage over linear temperature
sensors calibrated in ° Kelvin, as the
user is not required to subtract a large
constant voltage from its output to
obtain convenient Centigrade scaling.
It has a linear +10.0 mV/°C scale factor
and less than 60 μA current drain. As it
draws only 60 μA from its supply, it has
very low self-heating, less than 0.1°C in
still air. EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris®
enables you to get analog readings
from the LM35 sensor in restricted
temperature range from +2ºC to

Serial Flash Memory
Flash memory is a non-volatile storage chip that
can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. It
was developed from EEPROM (electrically erasable
programmable read-only memory) and must be
erased in fairly large blocks before these can be
rewritten with new data. The high density NAND type
must also be programmed and read in (smaller) blocks,
or pages, while the NOR type allows a single machine
word (byte) to be written or read independently. Flash
memories come in different sizes and supporting different
clock speeds. They are mostly used for mass storage, as in
USB Flash Drives, which are very popular today.
Enabling Serial Flash
EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris® features M25P80 serial Serial Flash
Memory which uses SPI communication interface and has 8 Mbits of
available memory, organized as 16 sectors, each containing 256 pages. Each
page is 256 bytes wide. Thus, the whole memory can be viewed as consisting of 4096
pages, or 1,048,576 bytes. Maximum clock frequency for READ instructions is 40MHz.
What is SPI?
The Serial Peripheral Interface Bus or SPI bus is a synchronous serial data link standard that operates in full
duplex mode. It consists of four lines MISO (Master Input Slave Output), MOSI (Master Output Slave Input), SCK
(Clock) and CS (Chip Select). Devices communicate in master/slave mode where the master device initiates the
data frame. Multiple slave devices are allowed with individual slave select (chip select) lines.
In order to connect Serial Flash Memory to
the microcontroller you must enable SW13.1,
SW13.2, SW13.3 and SW13.6 switches. This
connects SPI lines to PA5 (MOSI), PA4 (MISO),
PA2 (SCK) and PC7 (CS) microcontroller pins.

In order to connect I2C EEPROM to the
microcontroller you must enable SW13.4 and
SW13.5 switches, as shown on Figure 23-2. 2K2
pull-up resistors necessary for I2C communication
are already provided on SDA and SCL lines once
switches are turned on. Prior to using EEPROM in
your application, make sure to disconnect other
peripherals, LEDs and additional pull-up or pulldown resistors from the interface lines in order
not to interfere with signal/data integrity.
EEPROM is short for Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory. It is
usually a secondary storage memory in devices
containing data that is retained even if the device
looses power supply. EEPROMs come with parallel
or serial interface to the master device. Because
of the ability to alter single bytes of data, EEPROM
devices are used to store personal preference and
configuration data in a wide spectrum of consumer,
automotive, telecommunication, medical, industrial, and
PC applications.
EasyMx PRO™ v7 for Stellaris® supports serial EEPROM which uses
I2C communication interface and has 1024 bytes of available
memory. EEPROM itself supports single byte or 16-byte (page) write and
read operations. Data rates are dependent of power supply voltage, and go up
to 400 kHz for 3.3V power supply.
What is I2C?
I2C is a multi-master serial single-ended bus that is used to attach low-speed peripherals to computer or embedded
systems. I²C uses only two open-drain lines, Serial Data Line (SDA) and Serial Clock (SCL), pulled up with
resistors. SCL line is driven by a master, while SDA is used as bidirectional line either by master or slave device.
Up to 112 slave devices can be connected to the same bus. Each slave must have a unique address.

ADC inputs
Digital signals have two discrete states, which are decoded as high and
low, and interpreted as logic 1 and logic 0. Analog signals, on the other
hand, are continuous, and can have any value within defined range.
A/D converters are specialized circuits which can convert
analog signals (voltages) into a digital representation,
usually in form of an integer number. The value
of this number is linearly dependent on the
input voltage value. Most microcontrollers
nowadays internally have A/D
converters connected to one or
more input pins. Some of the
most important parameters of A/D
converters are conversion time and

represented in maximum number of bits that resulting number occupies.
Most microcontrollers have 10-bit resolution, meaning that maximum value of conversion can be represented with 10 bits, which
converted to integer is 210=1024. This means that supported voltage range, for example from 0-3.3V, can be divided into 1024 discrete
