What the LM3S6611-EQC50-A2T brings to the board
The 32 KB SRAM is tight for large packet buffers — budget around 16 KB for the Ethernet stack and leave the rest for application data. The 128 KB Flash can hold a modest RTOS kernel, the stack, and application code. If you need more memory headroom, the Stellaris family includes pin-compatible parts with larger Flash and RAM, though you will want to check the exact pinout.
Obsolete — sourcing reality for LM3S6611-EQC50-A2T
There is no official TI successor listed for this part; if you need a production-continuity alternative, look at the Stellaris family's later-generation devices or a pin-compatible sibling from the same series — but verify the peripheral set and memory match your firmware image.
