IAR WorkBench - Processor Variant Selection -EK-TM4C123GXL

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C123GXL, TM4C123GH6PM

Hi all I have the "EK-TM4C123GXL" Tiva-C Launchpad and need to select the correct processor variant in IAR Workbench.

My Manual says the MCU is a TM4C123GH6PMI so do I select in IAR... TM4C -> TM4C123GH6PM

Notice the MCU numbers match all except for the last "I"

Can someone with some expertise confirm to me? 

Thanks so much

    You have it right.

     The last 'I' is just the temperature range.   Going backward... PM is the package.  H6 is the memory configuration (flash and sram). G is a feature designator, G has all the bells and whistles (USB OTG, Motion PWM etc).  123 is the series designation and C for connectivity (a TI designator) TM4 is TI, Cortex M4.

    Might this prove easier?

    Such is usually found - rear of MCU manual - under, "Order & Contact Info." 

    You should be able to, "snip" (or similar) then paste this into a simple file for faster/easier access...

    Wow thanks so much for that post, so incredibly helpful. I'm really glad to be a part of this community now knowing people like you guys are a part of it!

    If anyone wants to, feel free to click on my name to view my profile and add my Facebook address in as a friend. It would be great to chat with you guys on days spent coding!

    I don't know anyone in person or online that shares a passion / hobby for embedded programming so I rarely have anyone to talk to about it to share ideas, questions and thoughts with - but nonetheless I'm glad I am a part of this community!

    Thanks again!!

    @James,

    Thank you - as small, tech biz owner/operator we frequently encounter, "One man shows."  And - imho - that's not good - clearly sub-optimal.  Your instinct to "reach out" is correct - and I bet that I can further guide/assist...

    Suggest that you find local programming club, college, trade school - anything where you can meet and share w/others.  Setting up a local club best enables your earning "quantity purchase discounts" as well as "group purchase" of a helpful item - too expensive for one person/user...

    I hear your protest - "But how?"  Find, call/contact your nearest electronic disty (distributor) also this vendor's sales office.  Describe your interest - ask if they can provide local names/numbers.  Tell each that you want to start a tech group - purchase their goods - that should win some interest.  Ham radio clubs should also prove fruitful.  Local newspaper (know that your age group doesn't read them) but 3 line ads - unlikely to break (even small) bank...

    Bon chance mon ami - due to work requirements my group avoids social media...
