joelfinkle 1 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 From the blurry photos, it looks like Two full sets of Tiva-style headers (pins still on the wrong side of the board, but once you've established the Booster Packs, you're sort of stuck with it) Seven blocks of 2x7 connections, no headers, plus a mess of other connector points on the board, and a fist full of jumpers. 2x7 is a weird number. I'm almost thinking that this is more likely to be prototyping/breadboard space than chip pinouts. Four pushbuttons Micro-USB at each end -- not necessarily any better than the current combo of power and debug connectors -- the chips on the right side resemble the debug/loader half of the current Tiva, but perhaps they're letting it be used for other than just loading? I'm guessing the large blurry block on the upper left is an Ethernet connector It's likely one of the other blurry blocks is a WiFi, Bluetooth LE and/or NFC/RFID. Less likely are GPS and 3G cell; even less likely would be LTE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remixed123 13 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 From the blurry photos, it looks like It's likely one of the other blurry blocks is a WiFi, Bluetooth LE and/or NFC/RFID. Less likely are GPS and 3G cell; even less likely would be LTE. Not sure it is a Wifi, I think it is the transformer (Pulse HX1188NL) for the Ethernet, as can be seen on the TM4C129 Development Kit (dk-tm4c129x). See image here I would be very happy if it was the rumoured CC3100, that has recently been accidently announced, as discussed in this forum post, but with it being black, I don't expect this to be the case as Wifi modules are usually covered in metal.

spirilis 1,265 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Those doing research, be sure to note the default TM4C1294NCPDT datasheet is missing the details in the USB section--but you can d/l the NDA-version of the datasheet with the link in this PDF: http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/spms410a/spms410a.pdf This is a click-through NDA agreement (similar to the electronic signature for the TivaWare d/l) that gives you the full datasheet. Also with TivaWare, this is #define TARGET_IS_SNOWFLAKE_RA0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I just managed to pre-order one, so they must be coming soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
igor 163 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 More info released http://www.ti.com/ww/en/launchpad/launchpads-tivac-ek-tm4c1294xl.html#tabs Link worked for me earlier, but doesn't seem to be working at moment. (I should have saved a copy of the page.) From other comments I think this is the processor? http://www.ti.com/product/tm4c1294ncpdt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dpharris 13 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 It used to appear at ww.ti.com/launchpad, but now no longer appears. I must have caught a test page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
