2.5 PC Connection

Connectivity is provided using the micro USB connector over the onboard XDS110 (TM4C1294NCPDT) emulator. This connection provides the following interfaces to the PC:

  • JTAG for CCS connectivity
  • UART1 for flashing the onboard serial flash, downloading FW using RADAR studio, and getting application data sent over the UART
  • MSS logger UART, which can be used to get MSS code logs on the PC

When the USB is connected to the PC the device manager recognizes the following COM ports, as shown in Figure 2-8:

  • XDS110 Class Application/User UART → the UART1 port
  • XDS110 Class Auxiliary Data port → the MSS logger port

If Windows® is unable to recognize the COM ports previously shown, install the emupack available here
