TivaWare for C Series software is an extensive suite of software tools designed to simplify and speed development of Tiva C Series-based microcontroller applications. All TivaWare for C Series software has a free license and allows royalty-free use so users can create and build full-function, easy-to-maintain code. TivaWare for C Series is written entirely in C to make development and deployment efficient and easy.

All royalty-free, the TivaWare for C Series libraries offer users the flexibility of working with sample applications or the freedom to create their own projects. The Graphics Library includes a set of graphics primitives and a widget set for creating graphical user interfaces on Tiva C Series-based microcontroller boards that have a graphical display. The Peripheral Driver Library offers an extensive set of functions for controlling the peripherals found on various TM4C devices. The USB Library quickly enables efficient USB host, USB device, and USB on-the-go operation.

TivaWare for C Series utilities make it easier to work with your applications and designs. The TM4C PinMux Utility helps users generate custom schematics symbols for Tiva C Series MCUs for customized applications. The LMFlash Programmer enables users to load software to TM4C development and evaluation boards more easily. Use the TM4C ICDI Drivers to program and debug the TM4C microcontroller on a Tiva C Series evaluation board.

Texas Instruments, with the C Series of ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers (MCUs), supports the ARM Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS), a standardized hardware abstraction layer for the Cortex-M processor series. The CMSIS enables consistent and simple software interfaces to the processor core and simple basic MCU peripherals for silicon vendors and middleware providers, simplifying software re-use, reducing the learning curve for new microcontroller developers and reducing the time to market for new devices.
The CMSIS DSP library includes source code and example applications, and saves time by including common DSP algorithms such as complex arithmetic, vector operations, and filters and control functions. The ARM Cortex-M4 core uses the DSP SIMD instruction set and floating-point hardware that enhances the Tiva C Series microcontroller algorithm capabilities for digital signal control applications.
