Tiva GC

Game console made with TM4C123 and the EduMkII BoosterPack.

Status

The project could be built again, this time on Linux with GCC and no Keil or ARM compilers. This may be a point to jump off of when building new things, or this project may be expanded. Who knows.

Building

Dependencies

Compiler, CMake and make:

sudo pacman -S arm-none-eabi-gcc cmake make

Flashing tool: lm4flash:

git clone https://github.com/utzig/lm4tools.git
cd lm4tools/lm4flash
make

or get it from the AUR:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lm4tools-git.git
cd lm4tools-git
makepkg

then install with sudo pacman -U <output.pkg.tar.zst>.

Miscelaneous: libusb and unzip

sudo pacman -S libusb unzip

Tivaware: get full .exe from http://software-dl.ti.com/tiva-c/SW-TM4C/latest/index_FDS.html, then

mkdir tivaware; cd tivaware
mv ~/Downloads/SW-TM4C-2.1.4.178.exe .
unzip SW-TM4C-2.1.4.178.exe
cd driverlib
make

The driverlib and inc directories were copied into the project for a quick and dirty integration.

Setting up build

To run the CMakeLists script, do

mkdir build
cmake -B./build -S.

Building and flashing

cd build
make
make flash

Original Readme

Building

Developed using Keil 5, compiler version 6. All interfacing with the Tiva devices is done with direct register management (DRM), which also made me write a driver for the LCD for the project (with Energia's EduMkII drivers as the reference material).

Status

This is an assignment project, so this is its final form as it proves difficult to work with DRM and Keil is very unconfortable to code in. The core ideas for the game console and the games themselves may be ported to Energia with abstracted interfacing to the pins and with Tivaware libraries being used.
