##About Robotics at Maryland's repository for building FreeRTOS along with Tivaware libraries on the TM4C123GXL
FreeRTOS version: v8.2.3
Tivaware version: 2.1.3.156
##Prerequisites To build the project you need the GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain
To flash to the MCU you can use LM4Tools
To install both of these automatically run ../scripts/embedded_install_deps.bash
It may be necessary to install ia32-libs if you're on a 64 bit system.
sudo apt install ia32-libs
##Drivers
Tivaware drivers(EK-TM4C123GXL)
are included in the drivers/ directory. You have to make in the drivers/ directory to get the
Tivaware objects in the correct place.
The drivers/ directory is where the Tivaware libraries are stored. The makefile in drivers/ builds
all the source files there into object files and then runs the symlink_objs script to link the object
files into the obj/ so the linker can easily access it.
##Build
Building should just be as simple as running make in the embedded/ directory. The Makefile will
automatically build all *.c files in src/ and src/tasks/. It will then try to output an
image.bin file that can be flashed to the MCU.
Make sure you source setenv.sh so that you can find the toolchain. Also make sure the locations
setenv.sh points to are correct.
##Flash
Run make flash to flash the image.bin file onto the chip while you're in the embedded/ directory.
##Serial/UART The TM4C123GXL's UART0 is connected to the In-Circuit Debug Interface(ICDI) which you can use the USB cable to view.
Use a serial terminal program with 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
