TIVA TM4C CMSIS device headers

I'd like to download CMSIS device header, but the link from this page is broken.

The Wayback Machine has a cached copy https://web.archive.org/web/20160719023204/http://www.ti.com:80/tool/cmsis_device_headers which points to the download http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/spmc018 which is still active. However, spmc018 has a installer exe TI-CMSIS-Devices-8636.exe which:

a) Crashes when attempt to run the installer in Windows 10 64-bit.

b) When opened the TI-CMSIS-Devices-8636.exe with 7-Zip only contains device files for the now obsolete LM3S and LM4F devices.

I don't know if there is an official TI source of TM4C CMSIS device headers, but found Looking for TM4C1294 CMSIS Header file which says https://github.com/speters/CMSIS/tree/master/Device/TI/TM4C/Include is the unofficial version of the CMSIS for TM4C devices on github.

Hopefully a TI employee will be able to say if there is now an official source for TM4C CMSIS device headers (the above referenced thread is from 2014).

Hi,

thank you. We will see what a TI employee will tell us :-)

Another question - what do you use for Tiva programming Chester? TivaWare?  

I'm moving to Tiva from Microchip 16bits MCUs - we were programming it in "bare-metal c programming style" (writing directly to the registers, no libraries) and I'd like to do the same on Tiva :-)

Thank you.

Definitely use Tivaware. If you don't, you'll end up recreating the part you use probably less well. Unlike earlier vendor support libraries it's a level above the registers while not being so abstract as to impose a particular approach or restrict your options.

Also, you'll get much better support if using Tivaware.

BTW, TI has shown no inclination to produce CMSIS headers although the subject does come up regularly

this www.ti.com/.../spmc018 cmsis device header download can work also on win 10.
you need to right click on the installation file and choose properties then choose the compatibility tab
check the "run this program in compatibility mode for"'s box and choose win 8 (should also work for win 10)
click OK and install..
