1.4 BoosterPacks
The Crypto Connected LaunchPad provides an easy and inexpensive way to develop applications with the
TM4C129ENCPDT microcontroller. BoosterPacks are add-on boards that follow a pin-out standard
created by Texas Instruments. The TI and third-party ecosystem of BoosterPacks greatly expands the
peripherals and potential applications that you can easily explore with the Crypto Connected LaunchPad.
You can also build your own BoosterPack by following the design guidelines on TI’s website. Texas
Instruments even helps you promote your BoosterPack to other members of the community. TI offers a
variety of avenues for you to reach potential customers with your solutions.
1.5 Energīa
Energīa is an open-source electronics prototyping platform started in January of 2012 with the goal of
bringing the Wiring and Arduino framework to the TI LaunchPad community. Energīa includes an
integrated development environment (IDE) that is based on Processing.
Together with Energīa, LaunchPads can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a
variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.
LaunchPad projects can be stand-alone (only run on the target board, for example, your LaunchPad), or
they can communicate with software running on your computer (Host PC). Energīa projects are highly
portable between supported LaunchPad platforms.

Figure 2-1. TM4C Crypto Connected LaunchPad Evaluation Board Block Diagram
2.1.1 Microcontroller
The TM4C129ENCPDT is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F based microcontroller with 1024-kB Flash memory,
256-kB SRAM, 6-kB EEPROM, and 120 MHz operation; integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC and PHY;
integrated hardware crypto accelerators; integrated USB 2.0 connectivity with external high-speed USB
3.0 PHY capability; a hibernation module, a multitude of serial connectivity and motion control PWM; as
well as a wide range of other peripherals. For more complete details, see the TM4C129ENCPDT
microcontroller data sheet.
Most of the microcontroller’s signals are routed to 0.1-in (2.54-mm) pitch headers or through-hole solder
pads. An internal multiplexor allows different peripheral functions to be assigned to each of these general-
purpose input/output (GPIO) pads. When adding external circuitry, consider the additional load on the
evaluation board power rails.
The TM4C129ENCPDT microcontroller is factory-programmed with an out of the box demo program. The
out of the box program resides in on-chip Flash memory and runs each time power is applied, unless the
out of the box application has been replaced with a user program. The out of the box application
automatically connects to https://ti.exosite.com when an internet connection is provided through the RJ45
Ethernet jack on the evaluation board.
2.1.7.1 BoosterPack 1
The Crypto Connected LaunchPad features two fully independent BoosterPack XL connectors. BoosterPack 1, located around the ICDI portion of
the board, is fully compliant with the BoosterPack standard with the single exception of GPIO pin PA6 (X8-16), which does not provide analog
capability. PA6 is located near the bottom of the inner left BoosterPack XL header.
Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) is provided in both the original BoosterPack standard configuration as well as the updated standard location. Use of
I2C on the bottom left of the BoosterPack connections per the updated standard is highly encouraged whenever possible.
Motion control advanced PWM connections are provided on the inner right connector for motion control applications.
Table 2-1 provides a complete listing of the BoosterPack pins and the GPIO alternate functions available on each pin. The TM4C129ENCPDT
GPIO register GPIOPCTL values are shown for each configuration. The headers in this table are labeled from left to right in ten pin columns. ‘A’
and ‘D’ make up the outer BoosterPack standard pins, ‘B’ and ‘C’ make up the inner BoosterPack XL standard pins.
2.1.7.2 BoosterPack 2
The second BoosterPack XL interface is located near the middle of the board. This interface is fully compliant with the BoosterPack standard and
adds features not covered by the BoosterPack standard that enable operation with additional BoosterPacks.
An additional analog signal is provided on the outer left header (X6-9). This signal can be used to monitor the touch panel on the popular Kentec
EB-LM4F120-L35 BoosterPack.
Using the jumpers JP4 and JP5, Controller Area Network (CAN) digital receive and transmit signals can be optionally routed to the BoosterPack 2
interface. The location of these signals is consistent with the CAN interface on the TM4C Series TM4C123G LaunchPad and the Stellaris
LM4F120 LaunchPad. In the default configuration, UART0 is used for the ICDI virtual UART and CAN is not present on the BoosterPack headers.
In this configuration, the ROM serial bootloader can be used over the ICDI virtual UART. When the jumpers are configured for CAN on the
BoosterPack, then UART2 must be used for the ICDI virtual UART.
To comply with both the original and the new BoosterPack standard, I2C is provided on both sides of the BoosterPack connection. Use of I2C on
the bottom left of the BoosterPack connection is highly encouraged where possible, to be in compliance with the new BoosterPack standard. To
provide I2C capability on the right side of the connector, per the original standard, two zero-ohm resistors (R19 and R20) are used to combine the
SPI and I2C signals. These signals are not shared with any other pins on the LaunchPad and therefore removal of these zero-ohm resistors
should not be required. Software should be certain that unused GPIO signals are configured as inputs.
Table 2-2 provides a complete listing of the BoosterPack pins and the GPIO alternate functions available at each pin. The TM4C129ENCPDT
GPIO register GPIOPCTL values are shown for each configuration. The headers in this table are labeled from left to right in ten pin columns. ‘A’
and ‘D’ make up the outer BoosterPack standard pins, ‘B’ and ‘C’ make up the inner BoosterPack XL standard pins.

2.2.3 Clocking
The Crypto Connected LaunchPad uses a 25 MHz crystal (Y1) to drive the main TM4C129ENCPDT
internal clock circuit. Most software examples use the internal PLL to multiply this clock to higher
frequencies up to 120 MHz for core and peripheral timing. The 25-MHz crystal is required when using the
integrated Ethernet MAC and PHY.
The Hibernation module is clocked from an external 32.768-KHz crystal (Y3).
2.2.4 Reset
The RESET signal to the TM4C129ENCPDT microcontroller connects to the RESET switch, BoosterPack
connectors, Breadboard adapter and to the ICDI circuit for a debugger-controller reset.
External reset is asserted (active low) under the following conditions:
• Power-on reset (filtered by and R-C network)
• RESET switch is held down.
• By the ICDI circuit when instructed by the debugger (this capability is optional, and may not be
supported by all debuggers)
• By an external circuit attached to the BoosterPack or Breadboard connectors.
Software Development
This chapter provides general information on software development as well as instructions for flash
memory programming.
