Loading Binary Files into Stellaris

The Firmware release includes pre-compiled binary files (Stellaris hex format) that can be loaded onto the boosterpack without needing a compiler. This is best done with TI's LMFlash Programmer software utility.

To download a pre-compiled binary file with this tool do the following:

Select Board
First, you must select which development board you are using. If you are using a recent version of the LM Flash Programmer then select "LM4F120XL Evaluation Board" under Quick Set. If you are using a slightly older version of the LM Flash Programmer like we are then select LM4F232 Evaluation Board.



Select File
Next, you must select the file to load. First click on the Program tab and then click the Browse button. Select the .bin firmware image you wish to load.



Programming
Finally, click the Program button and the Stellaris will be programmed. Once it has finished successfullly you should see the message "Verify Complete - Passed" at the bottom.
