Hi.

Sorry for the stupid question.

But ROM being a Read-Only-Memory, is the pre-shipped bootloader upgradable?

In particular, the MCU I am using is TM4C1230D5PM.

Thanks and Regards,

Ajay

Just went through the last comment at e2e.ti.com/.../301719 by StellarisAngela
That's the way a reply should be !! :)

In short, no, the pre-shipped ROM-Bootloader cannot be modified.

We should note that such, "Good replies" most often result from, "Good & thoughtful requests - extending beyond, "Does NOT Work!"

Your posts appear sufficiently detailed & thoughtful - thus you're likely to harvest "Angela-like" replies...

It is unfortunate yet true that "Angela" (& many/most) of her fellows have, "left the building..."

Hello Ajay,

Since you answered your own question, do note that ROM is not changed on a device unless, there is a revision change and the device errata sheet mentions an explicit change
