TM4C129x series microcontroller:

Hello Vivek,

There is a CC3000 Wifi Example in TivaWare. The CC3000 comes as a booster pack. However there is no GPS out-of-the-box example, so good luck in making one!!!

Good morning Amit ,

Thank you for your reply. I am only using evalution kit of TM4C1294 and using wireless  modules from other makes, which are

easily available in market and at low cost.  I want all 8 UART ports of the microcontroller outside the kit sothat I can use them for my applications.

I am seeing there are only two UART ports are taken outside. How I should proceed?

Hello Vivek

Look at the breadboard connector of the EK-TM4C1294. You should see additional pins on the 98 pin connector.

Amit

Sir , I have confusion about TM4C1294 that, whether IDE and compiler and other development tools are available free of cost or not?

Secondly whatever sites you have suggested for downloading the development softwares for TM4C series are not available at free.

I am student making project for my Post Graduate course in Engineering cannot offord such high cost for project.

I have selected TM4C1294 evalution board due to its low cost and it suits for my application but does it provides necessary softwares at free or low cost.

The code size of my project is less than 32K.

Thanks and waiting for your valuable guidance at the earliesst.

Thanks once again

Hi,

If I am not mistaken for the launchpads you have no code limit when using CCS with TI compiler.
There's also the option to use GCC compiler in CCS.

Besides CCS you have Energia which uses GCC compiler and has fewer capabilities than CCS. The advantage is that it is Arduino like programming but the code can be ported to CCS to take advantage of CCS debug tools while still using Energia libraries. Of course a mix of Energia libraries, Tivaware and direct register programming can be done.

There's also IAR and Keil which have 32KB code limit for the free versions.


About development software, what software you referring to that isn't free? The only link that is in Amit comments is for the CC3000 (which actually is automatic, if you refer a part from TI it gets an automatic link). The CC3000 is a solution to get Wifi in your MCU which only has only Ethernet. I can tell you that maybe your better choice would be the CC3200 instead of a CC3000+TM4C combo (maybe, it depends).
The software example for the CC3000 + TM4C is available for free in the Tivaware package if I am not mistaken.

Thank you very much sir! I am studying the solutions given by you. Thanks once more.
