Overview

This reference design demonstrates how to implement and interface Non Volatile Memory and SDRAM to the performance microcontroller TM4C1294NCPDT in TM4C product family. The implementation is made possible by using the EPI Interface of the Microcontroller to interface a 256Mbit SDRAM at 60MHz and QSSI Interface at 60MHz for Non Volatile Memory's like SD Card and Quad Serial Flash which allows developers to expand code and data space above the maximum Internal Memory of the TM4C1294 microcontroller.

Features
  • Extend the useable memory space to 512Mbit, 16-bit SDRAM with the 60MHz External Peripherial Interface (EPI) for high memory throughput and footprint applications
  • Designed for (formerly Tiva MCU) EK-TM4C1294XL Connected LaunchPad https://www.ti.com/tool/ek-tm4c1294xl
  • Implements Serial Interface boot loaders for SD Card or Quad Serial Flash Non Volatile Memory
  • Additional Support for Quad Serial Flash Mode command for custom implementation of Bare Metal External Memory Loggers
  • Source code contains project examples for Code Composer Studio
