bluehash 1,581 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 SensorTag2 DevPack came in. I'm waiting for the SensorTag to come in. Looks like this tiny guy has tag connect support. pine and Fred 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Interesting that it has tag connect. I notice that it can be used with the TM4C1294 too. Is it essentially the same ICDI that's on the TM4C Launchpad on a different form factor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Probably more like the XDS on the MSP432 LP- the chip on there is a TM4C1294NCPDT just like on the MSP432's debugger. The tag connect footprint is likely how they upload the initial XDS firmware on the programmer's TM4C129 chip. Tiva launchpads' ICDI has a similar tag connect footprint for that purpose.

zeke 693 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I wonder if I could use that as a standalone jtag programmer/debugger for my own boards? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 @@spirilis I never noticed the TagConnect on the Tiva Launchpad. @@zeke If it could, would it be better/cheaper than half a Launchpad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bluehash 1,581 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 So looking at the schematic, @@spirilis is right. The tag connect is used for programming the TM4c129 on the debug devpack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pabigot 355 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm using the nRF51 for Bluetooth IOT work, but the new sensortag product line looks interesting. The debug devpack page suggests it works only with CCS and IAR; is there reason to believe it might work on Linux (gcc+openocd)? On the other hand, it looks like TI's still using their own HWREG-based API instead of CMSIS mapped structs on the CC2650. So it's probably not worth wasting time. I guess TI is uninterested in trying to take market share away from other ARM vendors by making it easy to try out their solution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
