What this Stellaris MCU brings to the board
The Texas Instruments LM3S9C97-IQC80-A1T is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller from the Stellaris 9000 series, built for control applications that need a wired network connection. It runs at 80 MHz, with 512 KB of Flash program memory and 64 KB of RAM — enough room for a real-time OS, a TCP/IP stack, and a control loop without constant paging.
