Hi all,

Thank you all.

Hello Leonardo,

LM Flash programmer does not support Linux OS.

I found this tool: https ://github.com/utzig/lm4tools (just remove the white space between https and the url).

I'm not sure if it's an official Texas Instrumeents tool, but I rememeber that, in my previous Linux distribution i could program the devices even with a Command Line Tool, such this one.

What do you think, could this tool be compliant with the TivaC?

Thanks

Hello leonardo

Uniflash is supported on Linux system and can be used as an alternative.

If you still have more queries on using Uniflash on Linux, then I would suggest checking the Code Composer Studio Forum....

I found on internet a workaround that is called ln4flash and it works in my linux distribution.
Is not a simple installation sequenca but, at last it works.

I didn'y know uniflash, but I prefer a command line interface, so lm4flash is perfect for me.
Thanks

Hello Leanardo,

Please note the the application you have found is not a TI Tool and has not been tested or endorsed by TI so as always with unverified third party tools, it is used at your own risk.

Also, below is the description of the Uniflash tool on the TI website.

"CCS Uniflash is a standalone tool used to program on-chip flash memory on TI MCUs and on-board flash memory for Sitara processors. Uniflash has a GUI, command line, and scripting interface. CCS Uniflash is available free of charge."

Hi, Chuck,

I currently need a command line tool code to flash tiva devices using the ethernet (similar to eflash) to work on Linux. I tried to port the code to Linux but although the ek-tm4c1294xl receives the magic packet and enters bootloader the server doesn't receive the respose on the Bootp packet.

Now that Uniflash works on Linux, is there a code for the eflash on Linux or any code to flash using the ethernet that I can put on my own software?

Thank you

I can confirm that this works on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit. There is a package available in the repository: packages.ubuntu.com/.../lm4flash

Thank you Andrew, but does it work using the ethernet too?
To be honest I actually made the eflash work perfectly now on Linux

I'm pretty sure the lm4flash tool for linux only works using the ICDI via USB.
