The TSC4270EVM is a complete evaluation kit. This kit combines the TSC4270EVM daughterboard with
the Stellaris microcontroller-based TSC4270 EVM motherboard and evaluation software for use with a
personal computer (PC).
The TSC4270EVM motherboard allows the TSC4270EVM daughterboard to be connected to the computer
using an available USB port. This manual shows how to use the TSC4270EVM motherboard as part of the
TSC4270 evaluation module kit, but does not provide technical details about the TSC4270EVM
motherboard itself.
This manual covers the operation of the TSC4270EVM. Throughout this document, the terms
TSC4270EVM, evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the TSC4270
evaluation module, and the abbreviation of graphical user interface (GUI) is synonymous with the
TSC4270 GUI software.
