I have normally used CCS to work with this platform, however we are looking at updating our curriculum to use the EK-TM4C123GXL for our undergraduate course on MCUs. All of the college textbooks I find are using Kiel so it looks like we are going to have to use that as our development environment. I'm working on my test machine to see what the setup is going to be that I will have to do to all 70 of our lab machines. I have installed Kiel uVision 5.29.0.0, free version. I already have the ICDI drivers and TivaWare installed. I open up an example uVision project, such as hello. I can compile and produce output. If I manually run LMFlash and flash the MCU it does work, so I know the compiler and linker are working alright. However, the Download/Flash/Load button on the uVision UI is greyed out. Likewise the menu option to download is greyed out in the Flash menu. I have tried updating the ICDI drivers, and that didn't help. LMFlash programmer, and CCS have no problems flashing the device so the issue is uVision's configuration. On opening the example project, I have tried upgrading it to the device package format and installing the TM4C_DFP.1.1.0 package that it picked out for me automatically, and I have also tried installing legacy support for older projects. Neither made a difference either.
Interesting thing on the Utilities tab of the Options dialog is that if I click on the "Settings" button it tells me that it can't load driver ...ARM\BIN\lmidk-agdi.dll which does not exist on my system so I'm guessing has a lot to do with this. What is the setup for flashing and debugging the EK-TM4C123GXL supposed to be when using Kiel uVision 5.29? We are going to need both flashing and debugging support for this platform using this development environment.
