Does TI support Linux on TM4C1294? I have not seen much information on this. Thanks

Yes, we have development tools for the TM4C129 family that run on Linux. Here are some links:
Information about different versions of Code Composer Studio:

Hi, Bob, thank you for your quick and help information, but my question is not clear to you. More clearly saying is that does TI support Linux running on TM4C129 family microprocessors? Your answer is that CCS runs both on Windows and Linux for TM4 series. More accurate is can we intall Linux and run it on TM4, not on PC?

There are a few light Linux-like distributions that claim to run on the TM4C129x series (like NuttX, etc.), but a question like this was also asked in this post: https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/other/f/908/t/342170

In my experience, ARM Cortex-M series processors are not as supported for Linux as the ARM Cortex-A series. However, the TI-RTOS, FreeRTOS, and other RTOSes support Posix style programming on the TM4C. It all depends on what you need from Linux on this chip.

Hi Neil,
I had a nagging thought that I had answered the wrong question. To my knowledge TI does not support a version on Linux on the TM4C129x series. I am going to push this thread to the TI-RTOS folks as they may know more.

I'm not familiar with any Linux implementations for TM4C devices. Is there something specific you are looking for with Linux?
