TM4C123GH6PGE: Custom field update tool

Part Number: TM4C123GH6PGE

Hello,

I am working with a product using the TM4C line of microcontrollers. In order to perform field updates to the software, the user needs to place the device into DFU mode and then upload using the sflash tool from the tivaware software package, which they would need to download separately. To make our user experience better, is it possible to package this software with ours so as to allow our field update tool to update the firmware without a separate install, but instead by calling an executable of the sflash tool?

    The limitations for use of SFLASH are contained at the top of the source file sflash.c. I have included it here:

    //*****************************************************************************

    In short, it is OK as long as it is only used to program TI microcontrollers.
