TI Connect

The TM4C123G LaunchPad Evaluation Kit is a low-cost evaluation platform for Arm Cortex-M4F based microcontrollers. Featuring a 80-MHz Arm Cortex-M4F CPU, 256kB of flash, and 32kB of SRAM, the TM4C123GH6PM MCU provides integrated USB 2.0 support for USB Host/Device/OTG and two 12-bit ADC modules. The TM4C123GH6PM also includes a multitude of serial communication channels such as UART, SPI, I2C, and CAN. The design of the TM4C123G LaunchPad highlights the TM4C123GH6PM USB 2.0 device interface and additional device features such as the hibernation and PWM modules.

The EK-TM4C123GXL includes programmable user buttons and an RGB LED for custom applications. The stackable headers provide the interface to connect BoosterPack™ plug-in modules and make it easy and simple to expand the functionality of the TM4C123G LaunchPad through the Texas Instruments BoosterPack ecosystem. The TI-developed TivaWare SDK provides drivers for all peripherals and example code for dozens of applications for the TM4C123G LaunchPad.

The TI-Graph Link is the older link cable produced by TI. It does not have as high of data transfer rate, but it does work wih almost all calculators. It connects to your serial port and like TI Connect is widely used to transfer data files (such as programs) between your calculator and your computer. TI Connect is an advanced TI connectivity kit that aims to facilitate the data transfer between a graphing calculator and a PC. The package bundles tools such as a device explorer, backup.
