Board Overview
The Stellaris® LM4F120 LaunchPad Evaluation Board (EK-LM4F120XL) is a low-cost evaluation
platform for ARM® Cortex™-M4F-based microcontrollers. The Stellaris® LaunchPad’s design
highlights the LM4F120H5QR microcontroller's USB 2.0 Device interface and Hibernation module.
The Stellaris® LaunchPad also features programmable user buttons and an RGB LED for custom
applications. The stackable headers of the Stellaris® LM4F120 LaunchPad BoosterPack XL
Interface demonstrate how easy it is to expand the functionality of the Stellaris® LaunchPad when
interfacing to other peripherals with Stellaris® BoosterPacks and MSP430™ BoosterPacks.
