TM4C1294NCPDT: CAN boot loader example

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for the info.  Since LM Flash programmer does not support, we need to write our own host application right?

Also I noticed the following in User guide.  Could you give more details?

CAN_UART_BRIDGE Enables the UART to CAN bridging for use when the CAN
port is selected for communicating with the boot loader.

Regards,

Ramesh

Hello Ramesh,

The CAN_UART_BRIDGE does not look like a feature that is well explored. I found the following threads from our other experts: https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/other/f/908/p/678509/2498842#2498842

And from our CAN expert: https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/other/f/908/p/754865/2823862#2823862

I would recommend following Charles' advice and forego the CAN_UART_BRIDGE given that it has been confirmed it won't work with LM Flash Programmer. This is something we may be looking into once more now that we are closing on a TivaWare update, but I am not sure exactly when we'd have that figured out.

Regarding a tool or utility, we don't have one for the CAN Boot Loader in TivaWare right now. Perhaps if the CAN_UART_BRIDGE is figured out then something like sflash could be used... another area we can look into perhaps.
