SW-TM4C: How to make UART communication

Part Number: SW-TM4C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C129ENCZAD, EK-TM4C1294XL

PC and IC such as AWR and IWR via TM4C129ENCZAD
I want to create a program that can communicate with UART.
The connection with the PC is a USB connection.
Is there a program user guide I can refer to for that?
What should I focus on when using it as a reference?

  • Hi,

    For starter, I will suggest you familiar yourself with the UART module. There are simple examples for UART in:

    C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295\examples\boards\ek-tm4c1294xl\uart_echo  and

    C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295\examples\peripherals\uart

    After you are familiar with the basic UART operations you can also look the below examples that enumerates the USB device as a virtual COM port to the PC.  

    C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295\examples\boards\ek-tm4c1294xl\usb_dev_cdcserial

    C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295\examples\boards\ek-tm4c1294xl\usb_dev_cserial

    First, I want to create a program that opens a virtual COM port on TM4C129ENCZAD.

    But I don't understand the file structure required for the program.
    I referred to "C:\ti\tivaware_c_series_2_1_4_178\examples\boards\dk-tm4c129x\uart_echo", but I didn't understand the meaning of the file.
    First, I need to create a program for TM4C129ENCZAD.
    I want to know the file
