Software Development
This chapter provides general information on software development as well as instructions for flash
memory programming.
3.1
Software Description
The TivaWare software provides drivers for all of the peripheral devices supplied in the design. The Tiva C
Series Peripheral Driver Library is used to operate the on-chip peripherals as part of TivaWare.
TivaWare includes a set of example applications that use the TivaWare Peripheral Driver Library. These
applications demonstrate the capabilities of the TM4C1294NCPDTI microcontroller, as well as provide a
starting point for the development of the final application for use on the Connected LaunchPad evaluation
board. Example applications are also provided for the Connected LaunchPad when paired with selected
BoosterPacks.
3.2
Source Code
The complete source code including the source code installation instructions are provided at
http://www.ti.com/tool/sw-tm4c
. The source code and binary files are installed in the TivaWare software
tree.
