Software Development

This chapter provides general information on software development as well as instructions for flash

memory programming.

3.1

Software Description

The TivaWare software provides drivers for all of the peripheral devices supplied in the design. The Tiva C

Series Peripheral Driver Library is used to operate the on-chip peripherals as part of TivaWare.

TivaWare includes a set of example applications that use the TivaWare Peripheral Driver Library. These

applications demonstrate the capabilities of the TM4C1294NCPDTI microcontroller, as well as provide a

starting point for the development of the final application for use on the Connected LaunchPad evaluation

board. Example applications are also provided for the Connected LaunchPad when paired with selected

BoosterPacks.

3.2

Source Code

The complete source code including the source code installation instructions are provided at

http://www.ti.com/tool/sw-tm4c. The source code and binary files are installed in the TivaWare software

tree.

3.3

Tool Options

The source code installation includes directories containing projects, makefiles, and binaries for the

following tool-chains:

•

Keil ARM RealView

•

IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM

•

Sourcery Codebench

•

Generic GNU C Compiler

•

Texas Instruments' Code Composer Studio™ IDE

Download evaluation versions of these tools from the Tools & Software section of www.ti.com/tiva. Due to

code size restrictions, the evaluation tools may not build all example programs. A full license is necessary

to re-build or debug all examples.

For detailed information on using the tools, see the documentation included in the tool chain installation or
