I have gotten the following hardware:
and found the following tutorial & firmware:
The tutorial and firmware is for the TM4C123G Launchpad however, and has incompatible pinouts on the LCD data port. See the picture below, the pinout for the LCD data port is whack!
Firmware Issue
Here is all that this provided firmware uses for the LCD data port (from Kentec320x240x16_ssd2119_8bit.c) -

Question
How to use this Boosterpack with the TM4C1294XL?
Here is the Visio File I used to generate if interested - Suppl - connection diagram.zip
Thanks Chuck! You use the name 'BOOSTXL-KENTEC-S1', but Kentec appears to only have two options -

Questions
This is lightly embarrassing, apparently I simply had bought the wrong one! I swear that I read somewhere, in some lab to buy the LM4F120!
Hello Justin,
"This is lightly embarrassing, apparently I simply had bought the wrong one! I swear that I read somewhere, in some lab to buy the LM4F120!", is not embarrassing on your part, but on TI's part. No, you did not buy the wrong part.
I read, just like you, in TI's ConnectedLaunchPadWorkshop, that the part you have bought is used, therefore compatible, with the TM4C1294 launchpad. For some reason, TI has decided to (a) now support the serial display from Kentec, which is fine, (b) NOT support anymore the parallel display from Kentec (their choice), and (c) continue to have the workshop state that the parallel display is to be purchased. I have purchased the same display as you, wasted money and time trying to get the display to display anything but a nice white screen. I'm very disappointed.
You say 'waste', I say 'learner'. For me, it was a prime example of the importance of attention to detail, and elimination of assumption in my methodology.
Put differently, TI messed up lightly perhaps, but in the larger picture this totally makes sense and additionally gave me a chance to learn and improve my habits.
Cool stuff we have here, yup :)!
