TM4C129XNCZAD: Boot loader example code for above part no.

Part Number: TM4C129XNCZAD


Dear sir,

I have stellaris old board of LM3s9B96 and having example code of boot_serial,boot_demo1,boot_demo2 .Boot loader working perfect for above board.

I n similar way I need Boot loader code for TM4C129XNCZAD part no.

I have TM4C129xdevelopment board on which I can check it before implement in my actual project.

The example package don't have above example code for same.

I having example code for TM4C1294L and it is not matching with my board.

So please share example code of Boot loade for above development board for above part no.

  • Hi,

      You can use the same boot_serial example for TM4C1294XL on TM4C129x development board because the UART0RX/UART0TX pin mapping is the same. UART0RX -> PA0 and UART0TX -> PA1. 

    The bl_config.h file has directives that configure UART pins and it will work on both LaunchPad as well as development board.

  • Dear Charles,

    I have attached the bootloader_file which i have userd.

    I have dump the boot loader @ 0x0000 location  which consist of application address 0x4000

    I dump the code @0x4000 using debugger   and device boot up properly.

    Now i am dumping the another code through serial @ baud rate 9600 which is defined in code but getting error message.

    The com port is right com 17 i have checked in device manager.

  • You need to change the bootloader UART baud rate to match the baudrate in LM flash programmer. In the bl_config.h you have 115200 while in LM flash programmer you choose 9600. It will not work. You either rebuild the booloader for 9600 baud or change the LM flash programmer 115200.

  • Dear Charles,

    Thanks ,Its working Now. 

    Its working with UART0 what changes  need to be do for  UART1  in attached BL_config.h.

    My ultimate requirement with UART1

    Please find the attached BL_config.h

    8204.bl_config.h
