Enabling developers to streamline the design process, Texas Instruments announced that its Stellaris Cortex-M4F-core based microcontrollers (MCUs) now support ARM’s latest Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS). In addition to TI’s StellarisWare software suite, ARM’s CMSIS libraries help developers realise the benefits of Stellaris LM4F microcontrollers by simplifying the implementation of floating point, single instruction multiple data (SIMD) and digital signal processing (DSP) operations.
The Stellaris LM4F series of microcontrollers delivers extended analog integration, high floating-point performance and low power, and are ideal for a variety of applications including scanners, microprinters, home/building automation, AC inverter drives and uninterruptible power supplies. The devices include TI’s free StellarisWare software, which eases development with code and royalty-free libraries for application support. The software suite includes the Stellaris Peripheral Driver library, Stellaris USB library, Stellaris Graphics library and Stellaris Boot Loader – all pre-programmed in ROM on Stellaris MCUs.
