Programming the DK-TM4C123G Board

3.4 Programming the DK-TM4C123G Board

The DK-TM4C123G software package includes pre-built binaries for each of the example applications. If

you installed the TivaWare™ software to the default installation path of C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-x.x, you

can find the example applications in C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-x.x\examples\boards\dk-tm4c123g. The on-

board ICDI is used with the LM Flash Programmer tool to program applications on the DK-TM4C123G

board.

Follow these steps to program example applications into the DK-TM4C123G development board using the

ICDI:

1. Install the Stellaris ICDI drivers on a Windows PC. Refer to the Stellaris Driver Installation Guide.

2. Install LM Flash Programmer on the PC.

3. Connect the USB-A cable plug to an available port on the PC and the Mini-B plug to the board.

4. Verify that the POWER LED D4 on the board is lit.

5. Run LM Flash Programmer.

6. In the Configuration tab, use the Quick Set control to select the DK-TM4C123G development board.

7. Move to the Program tab and click the Browse button. Navigate to the example applications directory

(the default location is C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-x.x\examples\boards\dk-tm4c123g\).

8. Each example application has its own directory. Navigate to the example directory that you want to

load and then into the directory that contains the binary (*.bin) files. Select the binary file and click

Open.

9. Set the “Erase Method ” to “Erase Necessary Pages,” check the “Verify After Program” box, and check

“Reset MCU After Program”.

10. Click the Program button to start the Erase, Download, and Verify process. The DEBUG ACTIVE LED

(D5) on the board turns on at this time.

Program execution starts once the Verify process is complete.
