Tiva C blinking red on startup

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C123GXL

Hi all.

This is my first experience with a microcontroller and I have been trying to follow the Getting Started with the Tiva C tutorial. But when I plug in my Launchpad (EK-TM4C123GXL) the led's just blink red, not the red/green/blue color oscillation as was expected. Is this a problem? Also when I try and connect using PUTTY, the command terminal opens up but I cannot type anything into it. Could these issues be related?
