Hello,

I want to download firmware .hex file into  TM4C123GH6PM board.

I have installed Code Composer Studio Version: 6.1.3.00034 on my PC. 

Does it require any programmer?

or It is possible to download through serial port line UART pins (PA0/UART0_Rx & PA1/UART0_Tx)

    Hello Amit

    We only support OUT file download from CCS and BIN file download from LMFlashProgrammer. The HEX file may be supported by some 3rd party tool which I am not aware of.

    For downloading via UART or Serial Interfaces only BIN file is supported.

    Hello, 

    Thanks Amit..

    If I have .hex file received from developer, which he created on IAR work bench.

    Now I have to download it into flash of TM4C123GH6PM ( i have board which is having only JTAG option its 20 pin connector) using LMflash Programmer. 

    I have searched on internet i got some below option:  

    1) LMFlash programmer has option CODE RED'S RED PROBE+. But its expensive & its warranty is not available.

    2)Blackhawk USB560 JTAG emulator

    3) SEGGER J-Links

    Will you please suggest easy method for this ?

    Regards,

    Amit

    Hello Amit

    As I mentioned earlier, LMFlashProgrammer only accepts bin file format.

    Hello Amit

    I would suggest using a XDS100v2 with Uniflash to program the bin file. XDS100v2 is a low cost probe and Uniflash is a free of cost tool for flashing from TI.

    The following application note would be useful guide

    As poster has (already) mentioned Segger - and they are the producer of the Award-Winning "J-Link" (JTAG + SWD) probe - AND they provide that device at greatly reduced, "Educational Discount" - and the J-Link enjoys (by far) the highest installed base of such devices - poster would do well to consider it.  

    J-Link has - in most all cases - avoided the "dreaded" JTAG Lock Out - which SO Plagues the (lesser) JTAG pods/probes (so often) found here...

    And they provide a number of other useful utilities with the adapters.

    You are CORRECT Sir! (per usual and ... rather inspired utilities - as well)

    Note too that IAR & J-Link are "Vendor Agnostic" (any vendor) which should greatly expand & improve your mating of "MCU to a specific requirement." (it remains "highly unlikely" that ONE vendor - and one vendor only - will have the best MCU for task - and that it will (always) meet (all) performance, feature, availability and cost requirements!   It proves (beyond) surprising that SO MANY here - completely miss this!)

    Note too - that but for here - Cortex "M" MCUs appear in M0, M0+, M3, M4 & M7 variants - each served by the "J-Link" and IAR. Self-limiting - due to lack of key/critical awareness - cannot best serve you (now) and long into the future...
