LAUNCHXL-RM42 is an Inexpensive Evaluation Platform for the Hercules Microcontroller

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments. 

The Hercules RM42 LaunchPad is an inexpensive evaluation platform designed to help users evaluate and get started on development with the Hercules microcontroller platform.

The launchpad is based on Hercules RM42L432, which is a dual core lock-step ARM Cortex-R4 based MCU with features like 12-bit ADC, N2HET with programmable timer pins, eQEP, MibSPI, and serial communication interfaces. The LaunchPad comes pre-programmed with Hercules Safety MCU Demo, enabling users to easily learn about the key safety, data acquisition, and control features of the Hercules MCU platform. It features on-board emulation for programming and debugging, on-board buttons, LEDs and ambient light sensor, and the standard 40-pin BoosterPack-compatible expansion header to support a wide range of plug-in modules for added functionality. The LaunchPad is USB-powered and includes reset switches. It has external high-speed emulation via 14-pin TI-JTAG header (not populated). Applications include: industrial safety, medical, industrial automation, ventilators, safe programmable logic controllers, defibrillators, power generation and distribution, infusion and insulin pumps, turbines, radiation therapy, elevators and escalators, and robotic surgery.
