General Description
The Stellaris® Intelligent Display Module with 3.5" Landscape Display (MDL-IDM-L35-L35)
offer a complete graphical touch-screen user interface solution for control, automation, and
instrumentation applications. The compact design is based on a Stellaris® LM3S1958
microcontroller; a highly integrated controller incorporating a 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M3
core.
Development of software for the IDM module is simplified by using the comprehensive
Stellaris graphics library and ARM development tools from our tools partners. First-time
users should purchase the RDK-IDM-L35 Reference Design Kit which includes the touch
panel module, a documentation CD, and cables.
See the RDK-IDM-L35 Quickstart Guide and RDK-IDM-L35 User’s Manual for complete
technical details on using and customizing the Intelligent Display Module.

Power
The IDM-L35 requires 5 V DC for operation, which can be applied to one of the three power
supply board connectors (see page 3). The RDK includes a USB serial cable that provides
power via the serial header connector. In all cases, the power supply must be regulated
within the electrical limits listed in Table 1.
Wiring
Figure 3 shows all possible electrical connections, including RS232, analog inputs, and
digital I/O. The actual functionality of the peripheral connections is determined by the
application software.

Software Development
The MDL-IDM-L35 ships with a factory-programmed example application. This application
must be replaced with a program specific to the end product. Development requires the use
of a compiler capable of generating code for an ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor. Visit
www.luminarymicro.com to download evaluation versions of suitable development tools.
The Stellaris Graphics Library accelerates software development by providing a range of
display-related extensions to the standard StellarisWare™ Software. The Graphics Library
includes widgets, low-level drawing primitives, and display drivers.
Graphics Library widgets encapsulate the ability to render a GUI element, detect if a
touchscreen press occurred within its bounds, and react to presses. Widgets may be used
in a hierarchical manner to provide groups of associated widgets, such as radio buttons.
Examples of widgets include check boxes, buttons, sliders, and images.
Drawing primitives are elementary geometric items. The Graphics Library includes
primitives such as lines, circles, filled circles, rectangles, and fonts. A selection of pre-built
fonts is included and additional user fonts may be added to the library.
The display driver provides low-level code for initializing the display controller and a method
for setting pixels. Graphics Library includes a display driver optimized for the RDK-IDM-L35
LCD panel and therefore, users do not need low-level knowledge of LCD-driver operation.
Refer to the Stellaris® Graphics Library User’s Guide for full details.

Programming the MDL-IDM-L35
Once an application has been compiled and linked to a binary file, it can be loaded into the
MDL-IDM-L35 by two different methods:
„ Over the RS232 serial port using the Stellaris serial boot loader
„ Using the JTAG or SWD port and an In-circuit Debug Interface (ICDI)
Both methods are supported by the LMFlash utility included on the software and
documentation CD and available from the www.luminarymicro.com web site.
The RDK-IDM-L35 includes an adapter to convert the fine-pitch, 10-way debug header to
the common 20-pin ARM debug header.
