PINMUXTOOL: Working with CC32xx and TM4C123GH6PM ... Pinmux tool likes to step on JTAG

Part Number: PINMUXTOOL

The online pinmux tool likes to walk all over JTAG.  It seems to want to do it by default on the devices I have used so far.    Is it possible that in a soon-to-come iteration of the PINMUX tool that you could allow users to reserve JTAG pins for JTAG?   What I've had to do was assign JTAG pins to GPIOs, then carefully cut them out of the resulting pinmux.c file that's created by the tool.   I really shouldn't have to.

This all just goes to show that "TI doesn't do software"  ...  which is exactly what I heard pretty much for my duration of employment in TI, as a software guy.

Please fix your tool, it's painful to use.

  • Hi,

    The responsible team will look into this and get back. Please be aware that due to holidays the response may be delayed.

    Thanks,

  • Hi,

    I filed today the enhancement reports PMUX-2358 (for CC3200) and PMUX-2359 (for TM4C devices) to be analyzed by the development teams. In about 1/2 hour their status will be available in the link SDOWP in my signature below.

    In the specific case of the CC32xx family of devices, keep in mind the CC3220 already has a JTAG port on Pinmux. Also, the newer versions of the SDKs are replacing the use of Pinmux by the more comprehensive Sysconfig utility. 

    Regards,
