TM4C129XNCZAD: Code Composer Studio v10.3, TI XDS 110 Debugger and Cortex Debug Connector compatibility

Hi Chester,

Thanks for helping out here, I have no experience with that board.

It makes sense that works together as the XDS110 on the MSP432 LaunchPad is just an Arm 10-Pin connector which is the same as the Mikro board.

I also found that the TM4C129XNCZAD on my  EasyMx PRO v7 didn't have a MAC address programmed in its non-volatile USER0 and USER1 registers (unlike the TI Tiva launchpads which do).

Not surprising, we have to go through extra steps to get allocated MAC addresses that we can use when we ship the LaunchPads so I can see that Mikro wouldn't want to go through those hoops.

Cool !

Chester, thanks for your explanation and photo! They are exactly what I wished!

We have 2 debugger options for this board!

Hi Ralph,

If there is no MAC address written on the TM4C129XNCZAD ethernet controller, can it still access internet?  How do we correct it?

but for testing purposes you wouldn't need an allocated address

I found Random Locally Administered Unicast MAC Address which could be useful for testing purposes. Where a locally administered MAC address won't clash with a manufacturer's allocated MAC address

Hi Chester,

Thanks, that is useful! I hadn't thought to look up if there are allocated 'test' addresses. I will have to keep that resource in mind for the future. (I'm not as versed on Ethernet as Charles is )
