TM4C129XNCZAD: Linux support

Part Number: TM4C129XNCZAD

Hi team,

Can someone confirm if the TM4C129XNCZADI3R can work with Linux? 

If not, do you have any similar one like the TM4C129XNCZADI3R that can run on Linux? 

We know that there is a TI tool that run on linux but we need a chip that runs on linux.

Thanks,

Jacob

      No, TM4C MCU does not support Linux OS. I think the reason comes from the fact that Cortex-M has no MMU, so it is not possible to build a linux  based kernel on a MMU-less architecture. There are perhaps other factors such as MCUs normally do not have a huge internal memory to run an full-fledge OS like linux. You may run code out of EPI but that will be very slow. The conclusion is that I haven't seen Linux being attempted on TM4C but I can't say Linux has never being used on other M4-based processors with success.
