Fully Integrated Kits Greet Users of 27 Newly Announced
Integrated Communications Stellaris MCUs


    AUSTIN, Texas and CAMBRIDGE, England, June 5
/Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Luminary Micro (
http://www.luminarymicro.com ), creators of the
award-winning Stellaris(R) family of Cortex(TM)-M3-based
microcontrollers (MCUs), and ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq:
ARMHY)], today announced the immediate availability of two
Stellaris Evaluation Kits with ARM RealView(R)
Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK) evaluation software.

    Designed for the new class of Stellaris integrated
communication MCUs, these compact and versatile evaluation
kits take advantage of the capabilities of the new
Stellaris microcontrollers with more memory, more GPIOs,
enhanced power management, and the addition of integrated
10/100 Ethernet MAC and PHY communications and integrated
CAN communications. 

    Both kits include an evaluation copy of the ARM
RealView Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK) software,
limited to 16K code size. The RealView MDK includes the ARM
RealView C/C++ Compiler, Assembler, and Linker, the Keil(TM)
uVision IDE, Debugger and Simulator, together with examples
and templates and the RTX real-time kernel.

    "ARM's RealView Microcontroller Development Kit is
very popular with Stellaris microcontroller users, and we're
pleased to be able to offer the evaluation version in our
Stellaris evaluation kits," said Luminary Micro chief
marketing officer Jean Anne Booth.  "The RealView
MDK's specific Stellaris-aware debugging and simulation
support, along with the well-loved uVision IDE, provide MCU
users with the capabilities they need to rapidly deliver
embedded software applications with our Stellaris
microcontrollers." 

    "Luminary Micro has set an extremely aggressive
schedule for device introduction and customers have been
quick to adopt their Stellaris MCUs," said Wayne
Lyons, director, Embedded Solutions, ARM. "Breaking
the cost barrier between 8/16-bit and 32-bit by providing
that $1.00 entry into the ARM development world was a
significant milestone for embedded developers, and
Luminary's latest generation of technology represents
another breakthrough for embedded communications
applications."

    The Stellaris family of microcontrollers currently
contains 51 feature-rich microcontrollers targeted at
embedded and industrial applications, such as building and
home automation; factory automation; motion and motor
control; industrial controls; electronic point-of-sales;
remote data acquisition; test and measurement
instrumentation; fire and security; network appliances and
switches; medical instrumentation; and gaming equipment.
