EK-TM4C123GXL: Using J-Link and gcc with this EV board

John Hite

Greetings,

So far I have learned a lot here and have enjoyed working with this kit. I am using it to get acquainted with the TM4C processors as our prototype product boards are running behind. Now that I know a bit about the board I want to start migrating to the environment I will have with the prototype board so a couple of questions please.

I have soldered up a header on the J-Tag pins and want to know if there is anything I need to do to the USB based debugger or will they play nice. I would like to use the USB connection for power.

Does anyone use gcc instead of the ARM compiler for this series?

Thanks,

John

Hello John,

Section 4.5 of our JTAG User's Guide shows how to do this: https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spma075

There is a step by step instruction including how to disable the on board debugger and how to power the board through USB still.

We provide our board specific TivaWare example projects with GCC but neither Charles or I have any experience with GCC and won't be able to help with compilation related questions.

Best Regards,

Thanks again.

Hopefully we won't switch from the ARM tools.
