Note:
The SRAM is implemented using two 32-bit wide SRAM banks (separate SRAM arrays).
The banks are partitioned such that one bank contains all even words (the even bank) and
the other contains all odd words (the odd bank). A write access that is followed immediately
by a read access to the same bank incurs a stall of a single clock cycle. However, a write
to one bank followed by a read of the other bank can occur in successive clock cycles
without incurring any delay.
ROM
The internal ROM of the TM4C1232D5PM device is located at address 0x0100.0000 of the device
memory map. Detailed information on the ROM contents can be found in the Tiva™ C Series
TM4C123x ROM User’s Guide (literature number SPMU367).
The ROM contains the following components:
■ TivaWare^™ Boot Loader and vector table
■ TivaWare Peripheral Driver Library (DriverLib) release for product-specific peripherals and
interfaces
■ Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cryptography tables
■ Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) error detection functionality
The boot loader is used as an initial program loader (when the Flash memory is empty) as well as
an application-initiated firmware upgrade mechanism (by calling back to the boot loader). The
Peripheral Driver Library APIs in ROM can be called by applications, reducing Flash memory
requirements and freeing the Flash memory to be used for other purposes (such as additional
features in the application). Advance Encryption Standard (AES) is a publicly defined encryption
standard used by the U.S. Government and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is a technique to
validate if a block of data has the same contents as when previously checked.
Boot Loader Overview
The TivaWare Boot Loader is used to download code to the Flash memory of a device without the
use of a debug interface. When the core is reset, the user has the opportunity to direct the core to
execute the ROM Boot Loader or the application in Flash memory by using any GPIO signal in Ports
A-H as configured in the Boot Configuration (BOOTCFG) register (see page 513).
At reset, the following sequence is performed:
1. The BOOTCFG register is read. If the EN bit is clear, the ROM Boot Loader is executed.
2. In the ROM Boot Loader, the status of the specified GPIO pin is compared with the specified
polarity. If the status matches the specified polarity, the ROM is mapped to address 0x0000.0000
and execution continues out of the ROM Boot Loader.
3. If the EN bit is set or the status doesn't match the specified polarity, the data at address
0x0000.0004 is read, and if the data at this address is 0xFFFF.FFFF, the ROM is mapped to
address 0x0000.0000 and execution continues out of the ROM Boot Loader.
4. If there is data at address 0x0000.0004 that is not 0xFFFF.FFFF, the stack pointer (SP) is loaded
from Flash memory at address 0x0000.0000 and the program counter (PC) is loaded from
address 0x0000.0004. The user application begins executing.
