CCS/TM4C123GE6PZ: Production/Development programmer for tm4c123ge6pz

Part Number: TM4C123GE6PZ
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C123GH6PM, , EK-TM4C123GXL

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I've been using tm4c123gh6pm for a project, but it doesn't have enough pins for another project, so I am considering using tm4c123ge6pz.

I program and debug my boards using CCS and the TIVA C Launchpad for custom tm4c123gh6pm board, but I was wondering how to start development with the new part.  Will my current setup with tm4c123gh6pm launchpad work for programming this part?

Also, how is production programming typically done with this particular part? I see a few third party programmers available but which one does the community recommend (especially for program/debug with CCS).

Thank you!

  • Yes, you should be able to program the TM4C123GE6PZ with Code Composer Studio and the EK-TM4C123GXL launchpad. Since the TM4C123GE6PZ only has 128KB of flash and the TM4C123GH6PM has 256KB of flash, you will need to limit the size of the flash erased by selecting "Necessary Pages Only" or by setting the erase address range from 0 to 0x1FFFF. Of course your code will need to fit into the 128KB flash space.

    I invite community members to chime in on production programming solutions. I know some use the built-in ROM bootloader, some use automated programmers to program the parts before assembly and some connect a JTAG scan controller to their product as part of the production process.
