Tiva Launchpad

There’s a new kid on the block, the Tiva LaunchPad TM4C123GXL. It essentially a superset of the Stellaris LaunchPad LM4F120XL. It has all the same functionality, plus PWM, QEI, and USB Host/OTG. All of your old StellarisWare code can run on this board, though there is a new TivaWare library for this board.

In effect Stellaris has been rebranded to Tiva C-Series, as part of this the LaunchPad has been re-released with an expanded peripheral set and a new name; the Tiva LaunchPad. The StellarisWare name has likewise been dropped and replaced with TivaWare.

Other than that it’s the same Launchpad that its been for the last year or so, now it just has a fancy new name and some extra peripherals.
