Getting Started with Cortex-M3 and StellarisWare Workshop
TI’s Stellaris line of ARM® Cortex® - M3 and M4 embedded microcontrollers offer high end communication peripherals like USB, Ethernet and CAN together with a highly capable 100MIPS core.
Creating software applications that quickly utilize those parts could be a time-consuming chore, but TI has StellarisWare; an extensive suite of software designed to simplify and speed development of Stellaris-based microcontroller applications.
Quick Start Programming with the MSP430 Launchpad Workshop
TI's MSP430™16-bit Ultra-Low Power MCUs are a great multipurpose MCU that features the industry’s lowest power consumption. They have been world famous for its low power consumption for decades, but now with our new low cost G2xx Value Series we have solutions priced as low as $0.25 at 1k volumes.
