Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA, TM4C1294NCPDT,
Hello all.
Almost a bit more than a month after and a couple of hours per week available to work on the project and mainly thanks to the precious help of Bruno, Charles, Bob, Amit, cb1_mobile and all the other nice guys here at the forum, I managed to have a fully operational TCP ethernet bootloader build from scratch. At the following link you can download all source and also helpful guidelines to understand and have the project up and running in minutes. In case something is not clear, please post here. Project is ready to by compiled and/or directly run for/from both CC7 & ENERGIA IDEs. Has been tested succesfully for over 100 bootloads and firmware upgrades so far. Link for downloading:
This tcp_bootloader seats at 0x00000000 for as long we wish and can for ever peacefully coexist with other TIVA ROM bootloaders that can be triggered on demand by our source as usual. The main merit of this bootloader is that does not need a guy to be near the module for the firmware load/update to take place. One can be miles or continents away and instruct his/her remote module to enter in an update loop and then auto-reboot in the updated or any other new application. Hope some folks will find it useful.
All the best
John
