Mikroe Mikromedia 5 for TIVA Capacitive

Mikroe Mikromedia 5 for TIVA Capacitive is a compact development board designed as a complete solution for the rapid development of multimedia and GUI-centric applications. The Mikromedia 5 board features USB, Ethernet, WiFi, and RF connectivity options. The device also has a digital motion sensor, battery-charging functionality, piezo-buzzer, SD card reader, RTC, and much more. The MIkromedia 5 has more functions beyond multimedia. It has two standardized 1×26 pin headers that expose the available MCU pins, adding another layer of expandability. Connectivity can be further expanded with several mikroBUS™ sockets, additional connectors, peripherals, and more.

Two independent controllers, the Raster Controller and the LCD Interface Display Driver (LIDD) controller
Power Supply Unit (PSU) provides a clean and regulated power, necessary for a proper operation of the mikromedia 5

microSD card slot allows storing large amounts of data externally, on a microSD memory card
USB peripheral module, allowing simple USB connectivity
Ethernet controller is integrated in TM4C129L(X)NCZAD microcontroller, with a variety of useful features
The RTC peripheral utilizes a separate power supply source, typically a battery
An ambient light sensor (ALS) can be used for dimming the screen intensity in low-light conditions
An infrared (IR) receiver with the integrated PIN diode and a demodulation section allows simple control over an IR remote controller to be implemented
The MCP9700A, an integrated low-power linear active thermistor allows measurement of the ambient temperature
A high-brightness RGB LED option can be used to provide visual feedback in a very simple way
Headers & On-Off switch
Most of the host MCU pins are routed to the two 1×26 pin headers, making them available for further connectivity
Reset button located on the front side of the board, used to generate a LOW logic level on the microcontroller reset pin
