Stellaris 6000 — Ethernet-connected Cortex-M3 at 80 MHz
The 512 KB program Flash is sized for a full Ethernet stack (lwIP or similar), a real-time OS kernel, and a moderate application layer. The 64 KB SRAM is the working memory for stack buffers, packet queues, and task contexts.
108-ball BGA — layout and rework notes
The LM3S6C65-IBZ80-A1 comes in a 108-LFBGA package with a 10x10 mm body. The 46 I/O count is moderate for a BGA of this size.
That means Texas Instruments is still manufacturing this part, it is not on a last-time-buy or end-of-life notification, and it remains qualified for new design-ins. The base product number is LM3S6C65, so any PCN or errata updates will be published under that root.
