EK-TM4C123GXL: Launchpad peripheral support for BOOSTXL-SHARP128

Part Number: EK-TM4C123GXL
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BOOSTXL-SHARP128,

We're prototyping some hardware and would like to evaluate how the TM4C microcontroller works with an on-screen display.  We found the BOOSTXL-SHARP128 Launchpad CCA on Digikey, but don't see anything about how well it might be supported by the TM4C Launchpad CCA (EK-TM4C123GXL) - it appears to be a supported integration on the MSP430, though.  Can anyone comment on whether the BOOSTXL-SHARP128 (LCD screen) would be supported by the EK-TM4C123GXL?

Cheers!

  • Hi,

      Yes, the bootsterpack will work with the EK-TM4C123GXL LaunuchPad. However, you will need to port the MSP430 code to TM4C123 MCU. 

    2.2 BoosterPack Plug-In Module Pinout The BOOSTXL-SHARP128 BoosterPack plug-in module adheres to the 40-pin BoosterPack plug-in module pinout standard. This standard aids compatibility between LaunchPad development kits and BoosterPack plug-in modules across the TI ecosystem.

    The 40-pin standard is compatible with the 20-pin standard that is used by other LaunchPad development kits and BoosterPack plug-in modules. This allows some subset of functionality of 40-pin BoosterPack plug-in modules to be used with 20-pin LaunchPad development kits. www.ti.com Hardware SLAU786–August 2018 5 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2018, Texas Instruments Incorporated Sharp® 128x128 Memory LCD and microSD Card BoosterPackTm Plug-in Module (BOOSTXL-SHARP128)

    The BOOSTXL-SHARP128 BoosterPack plug-in module is compatible with all 20-pin and 40-pin LaunchPad development kits that are compliant with the standard.
