CCS/TM4C123GE6PM: Using UART printf beyond just through USB (using UART1 instead for bluetooth)

Henry,

First you need to add UART1 into the "board" files. We populate them enough so all of the out of box examples work. We don't put all the peripherals in since some are mutually exclusive. So you need to do the following (assuming you still want to use UART0)

EK_TM4C1294XL.h: add in UART1. For examples
typedef enum EK_TM4C1294XL_UARTName {
EK_TM4C1294XL_UART0 = 0,
EK_TM4C1294XL_UART1 = 1,

EK_TM4C1294XL_UARTCOUNT
} EK_TM4C1294XL_UARTName;

note: the EK_TM4C1294XL_UARTCOUNT value automatically increases

EK_TM4C1294XL.c: fill in the index 1 location for uartTivaHWAttrs and UART_config

Board.h: if desired add Board_UART1. We have this file to allow us to have examples work on multiple boards and devices.
#define Board_UART0 EK_TM4C1294XL_UART0
#define Board_UART1 EK_TM4C1294XL_UART1

Next you need to change uartconsole.c to use UART1
freopen("UART:1", "w", stdout);
freopen("UART:1", "r", stdin);

Finally change UARTUtils.c to add in the second index

#define NUM_PORTS 2
static UARTPorts ports[NUM_PORTS] = {
{NULL, Board_UART0, 0, false}
{NULL, Board_UART1, 0, false}
};

I just noticed the comments/field names are not the best on the UARTPorts structure...
