My usb female header came off from the Tiva ..so now I can no longer program my tiva...can I dump code in some other way? like using debugging port or using directly SPI pins of the controller..??

My usb female header came off from the Tiva
...can I dump code in some other way?
f. m. said:That never ever happens by itself. Try being honest.
Bravo! The retreat from personal responsibility continues... And the (usual) suspect (poster's dog) appears to have, "fled the scene" - likely w/ (both) poster's homework & that "yanked off" USB connector...
I didn't say that it happened by itself...board I'm using is TM4C123GH6PM .. and I tried to solder it..but the track itself came out ..
That's fine, sh*t happens. But the wording of your first post suggested it could be a "funny idea" of you.
My suggestion would be a repair. Check the schematics which connection is affected by this PCB track, and try soldering on a wire instead, to replace this connection. This is usually much quicker and easier than adding another (external) debug port.
...board I'm using is TM4C123GH6PM ..
This is just the MCU, and not the board. I assume the corresponding Launchpad board.
And...there's a "lesson to be learned here." Both USB connectors on that board (I don't believe they are "headers") are surface mount - and the ability of such smt connectors to "survive" repeated, "insertions/removals" is NOT famed/applauded! (i.e. they "stink.")
My tech firm "avoids" use of such surface mount connectors/headers - unless "many" pins are in play - which yields a much greater "holding force." We have found that the older (often bit larger) "Through-Hole" USB connectors have a significantly higher "board retention/survival" rate!
Armed now w/knowledge of this generic weakness you should be "sparing" in the insertion/removal activity - at that smt USB connector. Instead - the (other) end of the USB cable should see the lion's share of connect/disconnect activity - which surely will keep your board (far longer) functional...
