Help me to study a microcontroller. I'm a beginner

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C1294NCPDT

Hi everybody, I'm a student. Today, I want to study how to write a code for a microcontroller, but I don't know how to start , and what software, documents that I will want to study.

I'm using TM4C1294NCPDT, and I tried to study a code example supported by TI, but I don't know why Ti write these command line ?
Please help me

  • Hello An,

    First of all decide what you want to do with the uC. If it is just study, then start looking at the simple examples of blinky to control GPIO and hello example to print on the a serial console. In the end it will all come down to what you decide as a project.

  • You may wish to start a, "reading list" which inludes: microcontrollers, "C" programming, and general electronics.

    We note that you (appear) to be "starting" with a fairly complex MCU - such is (rarely) a wise "first step."

    As you're a "student" it seems reasonable that your school or key teachers should be able to guide you...

  • I would also suggest you can start with a PC and something like a simple USB DAQ (Data AcQuisition system). If you get one with full library support you can concentrate on Toggling relays, reading A/D values, reading switch inputs etc.. in a friendlier environment.

    You can then move to a micro-controller environment with greater confidence that you understand some of the basics.
