The TMS570LS12 Hercules™ Development Kit is based on the IEC 61508 SIL 3 and ISO 26262 ASIL D certified TMS570LS1227 and is ideal for getting started on development with TMS570LS12x/11x series of the Hercules TMS570 microcontroller family. The development board features RJ45 10/100 Ethernet, two CAN transceivers, an on board XDS100v2 JTAG emulator, and access to all peripheral IO pins. The kit is comprised of a development board, a mini-B USB cable, and an Ethernet cable.
