EK-TM4C1294XL: TI SimpleLink Platform on Tiva C

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1310

Hi,

I would like to know if TM4C Team, plans to integrate the Tiva C MCU's in the SimpleLink Platform, replacing TivaWare by the SimpleLink SDK as done with another MCU's from TI? I have been using the new SimpleLink Platform along with my TI MSP432P401R and CC1310, and I am glad because the SimpleLink is a standalone and well organized package that provide code compatibility across SimpleLink MCU portfolio, so it enables me to reuse my code across my TI microcontrollers, what's is wonderful. The new SDK has helped me to speed-up the development process and reducing the time-to-market. Would be interesting if Tiva C MCU's were integrated with the SimpleLink platform.

Thanks!

    Would it perhaps make "more sense" for "potential, New Devices" to embody your directive - rather than this "long in the tooth" brigade?

    Bom dia Otavio,
    I don't think that would ever happen.
    However, as your code and libraries grow, this becomes less relevant: the Tivaware are mostly drivers, closely related to the hardware. What happened in our company after some time is that we have sets of codes that use a lot of Tivaware calls, and others that are almost "pure C", and could be easily ported to other MCU's.
    When you need to port your functionalities to a different platform, the "application related" code will have very few changes - and the hardware related will of course need to adapt to the new set of drivers... And that is not too hard even if you change from, MSP to Tiva (the driver functions are quite similar in purpose).
    I don't dream of a one-project-runs-everywhere scenario, for the maintenance and abstraction level to make that possible is so high that it consumes more time than the alternatives - at least for our level of application.
