Revised High-Level Block Diagram.
■
Additional minor data sheet clarifications and corrections were made.
■
Corrected values for DSOSCSRC bit field in Deep Sleep Clock Configuration (DSLPCLKCFG)
register.
■
The FMA value for the FMPRE3 register was incorrect in the Flash Resident Registers table in the
Internal Memory chapter. The correct value is 0x0000.0006.
■
In the Ethernet chapter, major improvements were made including a rewrite of the conceptual
information and the addition of new figures to clarify how to use the Ethernet Controller interface.
■
Incorrect Comparator Operating Modes tables were removed from the Analog Comparators chapter.

fields in the MR23 register are now marked as reserved.
■
As noted in the PCN, the option to provide VDD25 power from external sources was removed. Use
the LDO output as the source of VDD25 input.
■
As noted in the PCN, pin 41 (ball K3 on the BGA package) was renamed from GNDPHY to ERBIAS.
A 12.4-kΩ resistor should be connected between ERBIAS and ground to accommodate future device
revisions (see “Functional Description” on page 434).

The operational frequency of the internal 30-kHz oscillator clock source is 30 kHz ± 50% (prior data
sheets incorrectly noted it as 30 kHz ± 30%).
■
A value of 0x3 in bits 5:4 of the MISC register (OSCSRC) indicates the 30-KHz internal oscillator is
the input source for the oscillator. Prior data sheets incorrectly noted 0x3 as a reserved value.
■
The reset for bits 6:4 of the RCC2 register (OSCSRC2) is 0x1 (IOSC). Prior data sheets incorrectly
noted the reset was 0x0 (MOSC).
■
A note on high-current applications was added to the GPIO chapter:
For special high-current applications, the GPIO output buffers may be used with the following
restrictions. With the GPIO pins configured as 8-mA output drivers, a total of four GPIO outputs may
be used to sink current loads up to 18 mA each. At 18-mA sink current loading, the VOL value is
specified as 1.2 V. The high-current GPIO package pins must be selected such that there are only
a maximum of two per side of the physical package or BGA pin group with the total number of
high-current GPIO outputs not exceeding four for the entire package.
■
A note on Schmitt inputs was added to the GPIO chapter:
Pins configured as digital inputs are Schmitt-triggered.
■
The Buffer type on the WAKE pin changed from OD to - in the Signal Tables.
■
The "Differential Sampling Range" figures in the ADC chapter were clarified.
■
The last revision of the data sheet (revision 2550) introduced two errors that have now been corrected:
■
March 2008
2550
–
The LQFP pin diagrams and pin tables were missing the comparator positive and negative input
pins.
–
The base address was listed incorrectly in the FMPRE0 and FMPPE0 register bit diagrams.
Additional minor data sheet clarifications and corrections.
Started tracking revision history.

Notation
Meaning
General Register Notation
REGISTER
APB registers are indicated in uppercase bold. For example, PBORCTL is the Power-On and
Brown-Out Reset Control register. If a register name contains a lowercase n, it represents more
than one register. For example, SRCRn represents any (or all) of the three Software Reset Control
registers: SRCR0, SRCR1 , and SRCR2.
bit
A single bit in a register.
bit field
Two or more consecutive and related bits.
offset 0xnnn
A hexadecimal increment to a register's address, relative to that module's base address as specified
in Table 2-4 on page 60.
Register N
Registers are numbered consecutively throughout the document to aid in referencing them. The
register number has no meaning to software.
reserved
Register bits marked reserved are reserved for future use. In most cases, reserved bits are set to
0; however, user software should not rely on the value of a reserved bit. To provide software
compatibility with future products, the value of a reserved bit should be preserved across a
read-modify-write operation.
yy:xx
The range of register bits inclusive from xx to yy. For example, 31:15 means bits 15 through 31 in
that register.
Register Bit/Field
Types
This value in the register bit diagram indicates whether software running on the controller can
change the value of the bit field.
RC
Software can read this field. The bit or field is cleared by hardware after reading the bit/field.
RO
Software can read this field. Always write the chip reset value.
R/W
Software can read or write this field.
R/WC
Software can read or write this field. Writing to it with any value clears the register.
R/W1C
Software can read or write this field. A write of a 0 to a W1C bit does not affect the bit value in the
register. A write of a 1 clears the value of the bit in the register; the remaining bits remain unchanged.
This register type is primarily used for clearing interrupt status bits where the read operation
provides the interrupt status and the write of the read value clears only the interrupts being reported
at the time the register was read.
R/W1S
Software can read or write a 1 to this field. A write of a 0 to a R/W1S bit does not affect the bit
value in the register.
W1C
Software can write this field. A write of a 0 to a W1C bit does not affect the bit value in the register.
A write of a 1 clears the value of the bit in the register; the remaining bits remain unchanged. A
read of the register returns no meaningful data.
This register is typically used to clear the corresponding bit in an interrupt register.
WO
Only a write by software is valid; a read of the register returns no meaningful data.
Register Bit/Field
Reset Value
This value in the register bit diagram shows the bit/field value after any reset, unless noted.
0
Bit cleared to 0 on chip reset.
1
Bit set to 1 on chip reset.
-
Nondeterministic.
Pin/Signal Notation
[]
Pin alternate function; a pin defaults to the signal without the brackets.
pin

assert a signal
Change the value of the signal from the logically False state to the logically True state. For active
High signals, the asserted signal value is 1 (High); for active Low signals, the asserted signal value
is 0 (Low). The active polarity (High or Low) is defined by the signal name (see SIGNAL and SIGNAL
below).
deassert a signal
Change the value of the signal from the logically True state to the logically False state.
SIGNAL
Signal names are in uppercase and in the Courier font. An overbar on a signal name indicates that
it is active Low. To assert SIGNAL is to drive it Low; to deassert SIGNAL is to drive it High.
SIGNAL
Signal names are in uppercase and in the Courier font. An active High signal has no overbar. To
assert SIGNAL is to drive it High; to deassert SIGNAL is to drive it Low.
Numbers
X
An uppercase X indicates any of several values is allowed, where X can be any legal pattern. For
example, a binary value of 0X00 can be either 0100 or 0000, a hex value of 0xX is 0x0 or 0x1, and
so on.
0x
Hexadecimal numbers have a prefix of 0x. For example, 0x00FF is the hexadecimal number FF.
All other numbers within register tables are assumed to be binary. Within conceptual information,
binary numbers are indicated with a b suffix, for example, 1011b, and decimal numbers are written
without a prefix or suffix.

Architectural Overview
1.4
Functional Overview
The following sections provide an overview of the features of the LM3S6420 microcontroller. The
page number in parenthesis indicates where that feature is discussed in detail. Ordering and support
information can be found in “Ordering and Contact Information” on page 555.
1.4.1
ARM Cortex™-M3
1.4.1.1
Processor Core (see page 41)
All members of the Stellaris product family, including the LM3S6420 microcontroller, are designed
around an ARM Cortex™-M3 processor core. The ARM Cortex-M3 processor provides the core for
a high-performance, low-cost platform that meets the needs of minimal memory implementation,
reduced pin count, and low-power consumption, while delivering outstanding computational
performance and exceptional system response to interrupts.
1.4.1.2
Memory Map (see page 60)
A memory map lists the location of instructions and data in memory. The memory map for the
LM3S6420 controller can be found in Table 2-4 on page 60. Register addresses are given as a
hexadecimal increment, relative to the module's base address as shown in the memory map.
1.4.1.3
System Timer (SysTick) (see page 83)
Cortex-M3 includes an integrated system timer, SysTick. SysTick provides a simple, 24-bit
clear-on-write, decrementing, wrap-on-zero counter with a flexible control mechanism. The counter
can be used in several different ways, for example:
■ An RTOS tick timer which fires at a programmable rate (for example, 100 Hz) and invokes a
SysTick routine.
■ A high-speed alarm timer using the system clock.
■ A variable rate alarm or signal timer—the duration is range-dependent on the reference clock
used and the dynamic range of the counter.
■ A simple counter. Software can use this to measure time to completion and time used.
■ An internal clock source control based on missing/meeting durations. The COUNTFLAG bit-field
in the control and status register can be used to determine if an action completed within a set
duration, as part of a dynamic clock management control loop.
1.4.1.4
Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) (see page 84)
The LM3S6420 controller includes the ARM Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) on the
ARM® Cortex™-M3 core. The NVIC and Cortex-M3 prioritize and handle all exceptions. All exceptions
are handled in Handler Mode. The processor state is automatically stored to the stack on an
exception, and automatically restored from the stack at the end of the Interrupt Service Routine
(ISR). The vector is fetched in parallel to the state saving, which enables efficient interrupt entry.
The processor supports tail-chaining, which enables back-to-back interrupts to be performed without
the overhead of state saving and restoration. Software can set eight priority levels on 7 exceptions
(system handlers) and 21 interrupts.

Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
1.4.1.5
System Control Block (SCB) (see page 86)
The SCB provides system implementation information and system control, including configuration,
control, and reporting of system exceptions.
1.4.1.6
Memory Protection Unit (MPU) (see page 86)
The MPU supports the standard ARMv7 Protected Memory System Architecture (PMSA) model.
The MPU provides full support for protection regions, overlapping protection regions, access
permissions, and exporting memory attributes to the system.
1.4.2
Motor Control Peripherals
To enhance motor control, the LM3S6420 controller features Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) outputs.
1.4.2.1
PWM
Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a powerful technique for digitally encoding analog signal levels.
High-resolution counters are used to generate a square wave, and the duty cycle of the square
wave is modulated to encode an analog signal. Typical applications include switching power supplies
and motor control.
On the LM3S6420, PWM motion control functionality can be achieved through:
■ The motion control features of the general-purpose timers using the CCP pins
CCP Pins (see page 297)
The General-Purpose Timer Module's CCP (Capture Compare PWM) pins are software programmable
to support a simple PWM mode with a software-programmable output inversion of the PWM signal.
1.4.3
Analog Peripherals
For support of analog signals, the LM3S6420 microcontroller offers two analog comparators.
1.4.3.1
Analog Comparators (see page 479)
An analog comparator is a peripheral that compares two analog voltages, and provides a logical
output that signals the comparison result.
The LM3S6420 microcontroller provides two independent integrated analog comparators that can
be configured to drive an output or generate an interrupt .
A comparator can compare a test voltage against any one of these voltages:
■ An individual external reference voltage
■ A shared single external reference voltage
■ A shared internal reference voltage
The comparator can provide its output to a device pin, acting as a replacement for an analog
comparator on the board, or it can be used to signal the application via interrupts to cause it to start
capturing a sample sequence.
1.4.4
Serial Communications Peripherals
The LM3S6420 controller supports both asynchronous and synchronous serial communications
with:
June 18, 2012
37
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Architectural Overview
■ One fully programmable 16C550-type UART
■ One SSI module
■ Ethernet controller
1.4.4.1
UART (see page 351)
A Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) is an integrated circuit used for RS-232C
serial communications, containing a transmitter (parallel-to-serial converter) and a receiver
(serial-to-parallel converter), each clocked separately.
The LM3S6420 controller includes one fully programmable 16C550-type UARTthat supports data
transfer speeds up to 1.5625 Mbps. (Although similar in functionality to a 16C550 UART, it is not
register-compatible.) In addition, each UART is capable of supporting IrDA.
Separate 16x8 transmit (TX) and receive (RX) FIFOs reduce CPU interrupt service loading. The
UART can generate individually masked interrupts from the RX, TX, modem status, and error
conditions. The module provides a single combined interrupt when any of the interrupts are asserted
and are unmasked.
1.4.4.2
SSI (see page 393)
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) is a four-wire bi-directional full and low-speed communications
interface.
The LM3S6420 controller includes one SSI module that provides the functionality for synchronous
serial communications with peripheral devices, and can be configured to use the Freescale SPI,
MICROWIRE, or TI synchronous serial interface frame formats. The size of the data frame is also
configurable, and can be set between 4 and 16 bits, inclusive.
The SSI module performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data received from a peripheral device,
and parallel-to-serial conversion on data transmitted to a peripheral device. The TX and RX paths
are buffered with internal FIFOs, allowing up to eight 16-bit values to be stored independently.
The SSI module can be configured as either a master or slave device. As a slave device, the SSI
module can also be configured to disable its output, which allows a master device to be coupled
with multiple slave devices.
The SSI module also includes a programmable bit rate clock divider and prescaler to generate the
output serial clock derived from the SSI module's input clock. Bit rates are generated based on the
input clock and the maximum bit rate is determined by the connected peripheral.
1.4.4.3
Ethernet Controller (see page 431)
Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). Ethernet
has been standardized as IEEE 802.3. It defines a number of wiring and signaling standards for the
physical layer, two means of network access at the Media Access Control (MAC)/Data Link Layer,
and a common addressing format.
The Stellaris® Ethernet Controller consists of a fully integrated media access controller (MAC) and
network physical (PHY) interface device. The Ethernet Controller conforms to IEEE 802.3
specifications and fully supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX standards. In addition, the Ethernet
Controller supports automatic MDI/MDI-X cross-over correction.

1.4.5
System Peripherals
1.4.5.1
Programmable GPIOs (see page 244)
General-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins offer flexibility for a variety of connections.
The Stellaris GPIO module is comprised of seven physical GPIO blocks, each corresponding to an
individual GPIO port. The GPIO module is FiRM-compliant (compliant to the ARM Foundation IP
for Real-Time Microcontrollers specification) and supports 23-46 programmable input/output pins.
The number of GPIOs available depends on the peripherals being used (see “Signal
Tables” on page 493 for the signals available to each GPIO pin).
The GPIO module features programmable interrupt generation as either edge-triggered or
level-sensitive on all pins, programmable control for GPIO pad configuration, and bit masking in
both read and write operations through address lines. Pins configured as digital inputs are
Schmitt-triggered.
1.4.5.2
Three Programmable Timers (see page 291)
Programmable timers can be used to count or time external events that drive the Timer input pins.
The Stellaris General-Purpose Timer Module (GPTM) contains three GPTM blocks. Each GPTM
block provides two 16-bit timers/counters that can be configured to operate independently as timers
or event counters, or configured to operate as one 32-bit timer or one 32-bit Real-Time Clock (RTC).
When configured in 32-bit mode, a timer can run as a Real-Time Clock (RTC), one-shot timer or
periodic timer. When in 16-bit mode, a timer can run as a one-shot timer or periodic timer, and can
extend its precision by using an 8-bit prescaler. A 16-bit timer can also be configured for event
capture or Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) generation.
1.4.5.3
Watchdog Timer (see page 327)
A watchdog timer can generate an interrupt or a reset when a time-out value is reached. The
watchdog timer is used to regain control when a system has failed due to a software error or to the
failure of an external device to respond in the expected way.
The Stellaris Watchdog Timer module consists of a 32-bit down counter, a programmable load
register, interrupt generation logic, and a locking register.
The Watchdog Timer can be configured to generate an interrupt to the controller on its first time-out,
and to generate a reset signal on its second time-out. Once the Watchdog Timer has been configured,
the lock register can be written to prevent the timer configuration from being inadvertently altered.
1.4.6
Memory Peripherals
The LM3S6420 controller offers both single-cycle SRAM and single-cycle Flash memory.
1.4.6.1
SRAM (see page 218)
The LM3S6420 static random access memory (SRAM) controller supports 32 KB SRAM. The internal
SRAM of the Stellaris devices starts at base address 0x2000.0000 of the device memory map. To
reduce the number of time-consuming read-modify-write (RMW) operations, ARM has introduced
bit-banding technology in the new Cortex-M3 processor. With a bit-band-enabled processor, certain
regions in the memory map (SRAM and peripheral space) can use address aliases to access
individual bits in a single, atomic operation.

Architectural Overview
1.4.6.2
Flash (see page 219)
The LM3S6420 Flash controller supports 96 KB of flash memory. The flash is organized as a set
of 1-KB blocks that can be individually erased. Erasing a block causes the entire contents of the
block to be reset to all 1s. These blocks are paired into a set of 2-KB blocks that can be individually
protected. The blocks can be marked as read-only or execute-only, providing different levels of code
protection. Read-only blocks cannot be erased or programmed, protecting the contents of those
blocks from being modified. Execute-only blocks cannot be erased or programmed, and can only
be read by the controller instruction fetch mechanism, protecting the contents of those blocks from
being read by either the controller or by a debugger.
1.4.7
Additional Features
1.4.7.1
JTAG TAP Controller (see page 147)
The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) port is an IEEE standard that defines a Test Access Port and
Boundary Scan Architecture for digital integrated circuits and provides a standardized serial interface
for controlling the associated test logic. The TAP, Instruction Register (IR), and Data Registers (DR)
can be used to test the interconnections of assembled printed circuit boards and obtain manufacturing
information on the components. The JTAG Port also provides a means of accessing and controlling
design-for-test features such as I/O pin observation and control, scan testing, and debugging.
The JTAG port is composed of the standard five pins: TRST, TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO. Data is
transmitted serially into the controller on TDI and out of the controller on TDO. The interpretation of
this data is dependent on the current state of the TAP controller. For detailed information on the
operation of the JTAG port and TAP controller, please refer to the IEEE Standard 1149.1-Test
Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture.
The Stellaris JTAG controller works with the ARM JTAG controller built into the Cortex-M3 core.
This is implemented by multiplexing the TDO outputs from both JTAG controllers. ARM JTAG
instructions select the ARM TDO output while Stellaris JTAG instructions select the Stellaris TDO
outputs. The multiplexer is controlled by the Stellaris JTAG controller, which has comprehensive
programming for the ARM, Stellaris, and unimplemented JTAG instructions.
1.4.7.2
System Control and Clocks (see page 160)
System control determines the overall operation of the device. It provides information about the
device, controls the clocking of the device and individual peripherals, and handles reset detection
and reporting.

The Cortex-M3 Processor
This chapter provides information on the Stellaris implementation of the Cortex-M3 processor,
including the programming model, the memory model, the exception model, fault handling, and
power management.
For technical details on the instruction set, see the Cortex™-M3/M4 Instruction Set Technical User's
Manual.
2.1
Block Diagram
The Cortex-M3 processor is built on a high-performance processor core, with a 3-stage pipeline
Harvard architecture, making it ideal for demanding embedded applications. The processor delivers
exceptional power efficiency through an efficient instruction set and extensively optimized design,
providing high-end processing hardware including a range of single-cycle and SIMD multiplication
and multiply-with-accumulate capabilities, saturating arithmetic and dedicated hardware division.
To facilitate the design of cost-sensitive devices, the Cortex-M3 processor implements tightly coupled
system components that reduce processor area while significantly improving interrupt handling and
system debug capabilities. The Cortex-M3 processor implements a version of the Thumb® instruction
set based on Thumb-2 technology, ensuring high code density and reduced program memory
requirements. The Cortex-M3 instruction set provides the exceptional performance expected of a
modern 32-bit architecture, with the high code density of 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers.
The Cortex-M3 processor closely integrates a nested interrupt controller (NVIC), to deliver
industry-leading interrupt performance. The Stellaris NVIC includes a non-maskable interrupt (NMI)
and provides eight interrupt priority levels. The tight integration of the processor core and NVIC
provides fast execution of interrupt service routines (ISRs), dramatically reducing interrupt latency.
The hardware stacking of registers and the ability to suspend load-multiple and store-multiple
operations further reduce interrupt latency. Interrupt handlers do not require any assembler stubs
which removes code overhead from the ISRs. Tail-chaining optimization also significantly reduces
the overhead when switching from one ISR to another. To optimize low-power designs, the NVIC
integrates with the sleep modes, including Deep-sleep mode, which enables the entire device to be
rapidly powered down.

The Cortex-M3 processor provides multiple interfaces using AMBA® technology to provide
high-speed, low-latency memory accesses. The core supports unaligned data accesses and
implements atomic bit manipulation that enables faster peripheral controls, system spinlocks, and
thread-safe Boolean data handling.
The Cortex-M3 processor has a memory protection unit (MPU) that provides fine-grain memory
control, enabling applications to implement security privilege levels and separate code, data and
stack on a task-by-task basis.
2.2.2
Integrated Configurable Debug
The Cortex-M3 processor implements a complete hardware debug solution, providing high system
visibility of the processor and memory through either a traditional JTAG port or a 2-pin Serial Wire
Debug (SWD) port that is ideal for microcontrollers and other small package devices. The Stellaris
implementation replaces the ARM SW-DP and JTAG-DP with the ARM CoreSight™-compliant
Serial Wire JTAG Debug Port (SWJ-DP) interface. The SWJ-DP interface combines the SWD and
JTAG debug ports into one module. See the ARM® Debug Interface V5 Architecture Specification
for details on SWJ-DP.
For system trace, the processor integrates an Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM) alongside data
watchpoints and a profiling unit. To enable simple and cost-effective profiling of the system trace
events, a Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) can export a stream of software-generated messages, data
trace, and profiling information through a single pin.

The Cortex-M3 Processor
The Flash Patch and Breakpoint Unit (FPB) provides up to eight hardware breakpoint comparators
that debuggers can use. The comparators in the FPB also provide remap functions of up to eight
words in the program code in the CODE memory region. This enables applications stored in a
read-only area of Flash memory to be patched in another area of on-chip SRAM or Flash memory.
If a patch is required, the application programs the FPB to remap a number of addresses. When
those addresses are accessed, the accesses are redirected to a remap table specified in the FPB
configuration.
For more information on the Cortex-M3 debug capabilities, see theARM® Debug Interface V5
Architecture Specification.

Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU)
The TPIU acts as a bridge between the Cortex-M3 trace data from the ITM, and an off-chip Trace

Cortex-M3 System Component Details
The Cortex-M3 includes the following system components:
■ SysTick
A 24-bit count-down timer that can be used as a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) tick timer
or as a simple counter (see “System Timer (SysTick)” on page 83).
■ Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
An embedded interrupt controller that supports low latency interrupt processing (see “Nested
Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)” on page 84).
■ System Control Block (SCB)

Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
The programming model interface to the processor. The SCB provides system implementation
information and system control, including configuration, control, and reporting of system exceptions
(see “System Control Block (SCB)” on page 86).
■ Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
Improves system reliability by defining the memory attributes for different memory regions. The
MPU provides up to eight different regions and an optional predefined background region (see
“Memory Protection Unit (MPU)” on page 86).
2.3
Programming Model
This section describes the Cortex-M3 programming model. In addition to the individual core register
descriptions, information about the processor modes and privilege levels for software execution and
stacks is included.
2.3.1
Processor Mode and Privilege Levels for Software Execution
The Cortex-M3 has two modes of operation:
■ Thread mode
Used to execute application software. The processor enters Thread mode when it comes out of
reset.
■ Handler mode
Used to handle exceptions. When the processor has finished exception processing, it returns to
Thread mode.
In addition, the Cortex-M3 has two privilege levels:
■ Unprivileged
In this mode, software has the following restrictions:
– Limited access to the MSR and MRS instructions and no use of the CPS instruction
– No access to the system timer, NVIC, or system control block
– Possibly restricted access to memory or peripherals
■ Privileged
In this mode, software can use all the instructions and has access to all resources.
In Thread mode, the CONTROL register (see page 59) controls whether software execution is
privileged or unprivileged. In Handler mode, software execution is always privileged.
Only privileged software can write to the CONTROL register to change the privilege level for software
execution in Thread mode. Unprivileged software can use the SVC instruction to make a supervisor
call to transfer control to privileged software.
2.3.2
Stacks
The processor uses a full descending stack, meaning that the stack pointer indicates the last stacked
item on the memory. When the processor pushes a new item onto the stack, it decrements the stack
pointer and then writes the item to the new memory location. The processor implements two stacks:
June 18, 2012
45
Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
the main stack and the process stack, with a pointer for each held in independent registers (see the
SP register on page 49).
In Thread mode, the CONTROL register (see page 59) controls whether the processor uses the
main stack or the process stack. In Handler mode, the processor always uses the main stack. The
options for processor operations are shown in Table 2-1 on page 46.

Register 17: Program Status Register (PSR)
Note:
This register is also referred to as xPSR.
The Program Status Register (PSR) has three functions, and the register bits are assigned to the
different functions:
■ Application Program Status Register (APSR), bits 31:27,
■ Execution Program Status Register (EPSR), bits 26:24, 15:10
■ Interrupt Program Status Register (IPSR), bits 5:0
The PSR, IPSR, and EPSR registers can only be accessed in privileged mode; the APSR register
can be accessed in either privileged or unprivileged mode.
APSR contains the current state of the condition flags from previous instruction executions.
EPSR contains the Thumb state bit and the execution state bits for the If-Then (IT) instruction or
the Interruptible-Continuable Instruction (ICI) field for an interrupted load multiple or store multiple
instruction. Attempts to read the EPSR directly through application software using the MSR instruction
always return zero. Attempts to write the EPSR using the MSR instruction in application software
are always ignored. Fault handlers can examine the EPSR value in the stacked PSR to determine
the operation that faulted (see “Exception Entry and Return” on page 73).
IPSR contains the exception type number of the current Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).
These registers can be accessed individually or as a combination of any two or all three registers,
using the register name as an argument to the MSR or MRS instructions. For example, all of the
registers can be read using PSR with the MRS instruction, or APSR only can be written to using
APSR with the MSR instruction. page 52 shows the possible register combinations for the PSR. See
the MRS and MSR instruction descriptions in the Cortex™-M3/M4 Instruction Set Technical User's
Manual for more information about how to access the program status registers.

EPSR ICI / IT status
These bits, along with bits 26:25, contain the Interruptible-Continuable
Instruction (ICI) field for an interrupted load multiple or store multiple
instruction or the execution state bits of the IT instruction.
When an interrupt occurs during the execution of an LDM, STM, PUSH
or POP instruction, the processor stops the load multiple or store multiple
instruction operation temporarily and stores the next register operand
in the multiple operation to bits 15:12. After servicing the interrupt, the
processor returns to the register pointed to by bits 15:12 and resumes
execution of the multiple load or store instruction. When EPSR holds
the ICI execution state, bits 11:10 are zero.
The If-Then block contains up to four instructions following a 16-bit IT
instruction. Each instruction in the block is conditional. The conditions
for the instructions are either all the same, or some can be the inverse
of others. See the Cortex™-M3/M4 Instruction Set Technical User's

Register 21: Control Register (CONTROL)
The CONTROL register controls the stack used and the privilege level for software execution when
the processor is in Thread mode. This register is only accessible in privileged mode.
Handler mode always uses MSP, so the processor ignores explicit writes to the ASP bit of the
CONTROL register when in Handler mode. The exception entry and return mechanisms automatically
update the CONTROL register based on the EXC_RETURN value (see Table 2-10 on page 75).
In an OS environment, threads running in Thread mode should use the process stack and the kernel
and exception handlers should use the main stack. By default, Thread mode uses MSP. To switch
the stack pointer used in Thread mode to PSP, either use the MSR instruction to set the ASP bit, as
detailed in the Cortex™-M3/M4 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual, or perform an exception
return to Thread mode with the appropriate EXC_RETURN value, as shown in Table 2-10 on page 75.
Note:
When changing the stack pointer, software must use an ISB instruction immediately after
the MSR instruction, ensuring that instructions after the ISB execute use the new stack
pointer. See the Cortex™-M3/M4 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual.

2.3.5
Exceptions and Interrupts
The Cortex-M3 processor supports interrupts and system exceptions. The processor and the Nested
Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) prioritize and handle all exceptions. An exception changes the
normal flow of software control. The processor uses Handler mode to handle all exceptions except
for reset. See “Exception Entry and Return” on page 73 for more information.
The NVIC registers control interrupt handling. See “Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller
(NVIC)” on page 84 for more information.
2.3.6
Data Types
The Cortex-M3 supports 32-bit words, 16-bit halfwords, and 8-bit bytes. The processor also supports
64-bit data transfer instructions. All instruction and data memory accesses are little endian. See
“Memory Regions, Types and Attributes” on page 61 for more information.
2.4
Memory Model
This section describes the processor memory map, the behavior of memory accesses, and the
bit-banding features. The processor has a fixed memory map that provides up to 4 GB of addressable
memory.
The memory map for the LM3S6420 controller is provided in Table 2-4 on page 60. In this manual,
register addresses are given as a hexadecimal increment, relative to the module’s base address
as shown in the memory map.
The regions for SRAM and peripherals include bit-band regions. Bit-banding provides atomic
operations to bit data (see “Bit-Banding” on page 64).
The processor reserves regions of the Private peripheral bus (PPB) address range for core peripheral
registers (see “Cortex-M3 Peripherals” on page 83).
Note:
Within the memory map, all reserved space returns a bus fault when read or written.

Memory Regions, Types and Attributes
The memory map and the programming of the MPU split the memory map into regions. Each region
has a defined memory type, and some regions have additional memory attributes. The memory
type and attributes determine the behavior of accesses to the region.
The memory types are:
■ Normal: The processor can re-order transactions for efficiency and perform speculative reads.
■ Device: The processor preserves transaction order relative to other transactions to Device or
Strongly Ordered memory.
■ Strongly Ordered: The processor preserves transaction order relative to all other transactions.
June 18, 2012
61
Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
The different ordering requirements for Device and Strongly Ordered memory mean that the memory
system can buffer a write to Device memory but must not buffer a write to Strongly Ordered memory.
An additional memory attribute is Execute Never (XN), which means the processor prevents
instruction accesses. A fault exception is generated only on execution of an instruction executed
from an XN region.
2.4.2
Memory System Ordering of Memory Accesses
For most memory accesses caused by explicit memory access instructions, the memory system
does not guarantee that the order in which the accesses complete matches the program order of
the instructions, providing the order does not affect the behavior of the instruction sequence. Normally,
if correct program execution depends on two memory accesses completing in program order,
software must insert a memory barrier instruction between the memory access instructions (see
“Software Ordering of Memory Accesses” on page 63).
However, the memory system does guarantee ordering of accesses to Device and Strongly Ordered
memory. For two memory access instructions A1 and A2, if both A1 and A2 are accesses to either
Device or Strongly Ordered memory, and if A1 occurs before A2 in program order, A1 is always
observed before A2.
2.4.3
Behavior of Memory Accesses
Table 2-5 on page 62 shows the behavior of accesses to each region in the memory map. See
“Memory Regions, Types and Attributes” on page 61 for more information on memory types and
the XN attribute. Stellaris devices may have reserved memory areas within the address ranges
shown below (refer to Table 2-4 on page 60 for more information).

The Code, SRAM, and external RAM regions can hold programs. However, it is recommended that
programs always use the Code region because the Cortex-M3 has separate buses that can perform
instruction fetches and data accesses simultaneously.
The MPU can override the default memory access behavior described in this section. For more
information, see “Memory Protection Unit (MPU)” on page 86.
The Cortex-M3 prefetches instructions ahead of execution and speculatively prefetches from branch
target addresses.

Software Ordering of Memory Accesses
The order of instructions in the program flow does not always guarantee the order of the
corresponding memory transactions for the following reasons:
■ The processor can reorder some memory accesses to improve efficiency, providing this does
not affect the behavior of the instruction sequence.
■ The processor has multiple bus interfaces.
■ Memory or devices in the memory map have different wait states.
■ Some memory accesses are buffered or speculative.
“Memory System Ordering of Memory Accesses” on page 62 describes the cases where the memory
system guarantees the order of memory accesses. Otherwise, if the order of memory accesses is
critical, software must include memory barrier instructions to force that ordering. The Cortex-M3
has the following memory barrier instructions:
■ The Data Memory Barrier (DMB) instruction ensures that outstanding memory transactions
complete before subsequent memory transactions.
■ The Data Synchronization Barrier (DSB) instruction ensures that outstanding memory transactions
complete before subsequent instructions execute.
■ The Instruction Synchronization Barrier (ISB) instruction ensures that the effect of all completed
memory transactions is recognizable by subsequent instructions.
Memory barrier instructions can be used in the following situations:
■ MPU programming
– If the MPU settings are changed and the change must be effective on the very next instruction,
use a DSB instruction to ensure the effect of the MPU takes place immediately at the end of
context switching.
– Use an ISB instruction to ensure the new MPU setting takes effect immediately after
programming the MPU region or regions, if the MPU configuration code was accessed using
a branch or call. If the MPU configuration code is entered using exception mechanisms, then
an ISB instruction is not required.
■ Vector table
If the program changes an entry in the vector table and then enables the corresponding exception,
use a DMB instruction between the operations. The DMB instruction ensures that if the exception
is taken immediately after being enabled, the processor uses the new exception vector.
■ Self-modifying code
If a program contains self-modifying code, use an ISB instruction immediately after the code
modification in the program. The ISB instruction ensures subsequent instruction execution uses
the updated program.
■ Memory map switching
June 18, 2012
63
Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
If the system contains a memory map switching mechanism, use a DSB instruction after switching
the memory map in the program. The DSB instruction ensures subsequent instruction execution
uses the updated memory map.
■ Dynamic exception priority change
When an exception priority has to change when the exception is pending or active, use DSB
instructions after the change. The change then takes effect on completion of the DSB instruction.
Memory accesses to Strongly Ordered memory, such as the System Control Block, do not require
the use of DMB instructions.
For more information on the memory barrier instructions, see the Cortex™-M3/M4 Instruction Set
Technical User's Manual.
2.4.5
Bit-Banding
A bit-band region maps each word in a bit-band alias region to a single bit in the bit-band region.
The bit-band regions occupy the lowest 1 MB of the SRAM and peripheral memory regions. Accesses
to the 32-MB SRAM alias region map to the 1-MB SRAM bit-band region, as shown in Table
2-6 on page 64. Accesses to the 32-MB peripheral alias region map to the 1-MB peripheral bit-band
region, as shown in Table 2-7 on page 64. For the specific address range of the bit-band regions,
see Table 2-4 on page 60.
Note:
A word access to the SRAM or the peripheral bit-band alias region maps to a single bit in
the SRAM or peripheral bit-band region.
A word access to a bit band address results in a word access to the underlying memory,
and similarly for halfword and byte accesses. This allows bit band accesses to match the
access requirements of the underlying peripheral.

The address of the word in the alias memory region that maps to the targeted bit.
bit_band_base
The starting address of the alias region.
byte_offset

■ The alias word at 0x23FF.FFFC maps to bit 7 of the bit-band byte at 0x200F.FFFF:
0x23FF.FFFC = 0x2200.0000 + (0x000F.FFFF*32) + (7*4)
■ The alias word at 0x2200.0000 maps to bit 0 of the bit-band byte at 0x2000.0000:
0x2200.0000 = 0x2200.0000 + (0*32) + (0*4)
■ The alias word at 0x2200.001C maps to bit 7 of the bit-band byte at 0x2000.0000:
0x2200.001C = 0x2200.0000+ (0*32) + (7*4)

Directly Accessing an Alias Region
Writing to a word in the alias region updates a single bit in the bit-band region.
Bit 0 of the value written to a word in the alias region determines the value written to the targeted
bit in the bit-band region. Writing a value with bit 0 set writes a 1 to the bit-band bit, and writing a
value with bit 0 clear writes a 0 to the bit-band bit.
Bits 31:1 of the alias word have no effect on the bit-band bit. Writing 0x01 has the same effect as
writing 0xFF. Writing 0x00 has the same effect as writing 0x0E.
When reading a word in the alias region, 0x0000.0000 indicates that the targeted bit in the bit-band
region is clear and 0x0000.0001 indicates that the targeted bit in the bit-band region is set.
2.4.5.2
Directly Accessing a Bit-Band Region
“Behavior of Memory Accesses” on page 62 describes the behavior of direct byte, halfword, or word
accesses to the bit-band regions.
2.4.6
Data Storage
The processor views memory as a linear collection of bytes numbered in ascending order from zero.
For example, bytes 0-3 hold the first stored word, and bytes 4-7 hold the second stored word. Data
is stored in little-endian format, with the least-significant byte (lsbyte) of a word stored at the
lowest-numbered byte, and the most-significant byte (msbyte) stored at the highest-numbered byte.
Figure 2-5 on page 67 illustrates how data is stored.

Synchronization Primitives
The Cortex-M3 instruction set includes pairs of synchronization primitives which provide a
non-blocking mechanism that a thread or process can use to obtain exclusive access to a memory
location. Software can use these primitives to perform a guaranteed read-modify-write memory
update sequence or for a semaphore mechanism.
A pair of synchronization primitives consists of:
■ A Load-Exclusive instruction, which is used to read the value of a memory location and requests
exclusive access to that location.
■ A Store-Exclusive instruction, which is used to attempt to write to the same memory location and
returns a status bit to a register. If this status bit is clear, it indicates that the thread or process
gained exclusive access to the memory and the write succeeds; if this status bit is set, it indicates
that the thread or process did not gain exclusive access to the memory and no write was
performed.
The pairs of Load-Exclusive and Store-Exclusive instructions are:
■ The word instructions LDREX and STREX
■ The halfword instructions LDREXH and STREXH
■ The byte instructions LDREXB and STREXB
Software must use a Load-Exclusive instruction with the corresponding Store-Exclusive instruction.
To perform an exclusive read-modify-write of a memory location, software must:
1. Use a Load-Exclusive instruction to read the value of the location.
2. Modify the value, as required.
3. Use a Store-Exclusive instruction to attempt to write the new value back to the memory location.
4. Test the returned status bit.
If the status bit is clear, the read-modify-write completed successfully. If the status bit is set, no
write was performed, which indicates that the value returned at step 1 might be out of date. The
software must retry the entire read-modify-write sequence.
Software can use the synchronization primitives to implement a semaphore as follows:
June 18, 2012
67
Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
1. Use a Load-Exclusive instruction to read from the semaphore address to check whether the
semaphore is free.
2. If the semaphore is free, use a Store-Exclusive to write the claim value to the semaphore
address.
3. If the returned status bit from step 2 indicates that the Store-Exclusive succeeded, then the
software has claimed the semaphore. However, if the Store-Exclusive failed, another process
might have claimed the semaphore after the software performed step 1.
The Cortex-M3 includes an exclusive access monitor that tags the fact that the processor has
executed a Load-Exclusive instruction. The processor removes its exclusive access tag if:
■ It executes a CLREX instruction.
■ It executes a Store-Exclusive instruction, regardless of whether the write succeeds.
■ An exception occurs, which means the processor can resolve semaphore conflicts between
different threads.
For more information about the synchronization primitive instructions, see the Cortex™-M3/M4
Instruction Set Technical User's Manual.
2.5
Exception Model
The ARM Cortex-M3 processor and the Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) prioritize and
handle all exceptions in Handler Mode. The processor state is automatically stored to the stack on
an exception and automatically restored from the stack at the end of the Interrupt Service Routine
(ISR). The vector is fetched in parallel to the state saving, enabling efficient interrupt entry. The
processor supports tail-chaining, which enables back-to-back interrupts to be performed without the
overhead of state saving and restoration.
Table 2-8 on page 70 lists all exception types. Software can set eight priority levels on seven of
these exceptions (system handlers) as well as on 21 interrupts (listed in Table 2-9 on page 71).
Priorities on the system handlers are set with the NVIC System Handler Priority n (SYSPRIn)
registers. Interrupts are enabled through the NVIC Interrupt Set Enable n (ENn) register and
prioritized with the NVIC Interrupt Priority n (PRIn) registers. Priorities can be grouped by splitting
priority levels into preemption priorities and subpriorities. All the interrupt registers are described in
“Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)” on page 84.
Internally, the highest user-programmable priority (0) is treated as fourth priority, after a Reset,
Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI), and a Hard Fault, in that order. Note that 0 is the default priority for
all the programmable priorities.
Important: After a write to clear an interrupt source, it may take several processor cycles for the
NVIC to see the interrupt source de-assert. Thus if the interrupt clear is done as the
last action in an interrupt handler, it is possible for the interrupt handler to complete
while the NVIC sees the interrupt as still asserted, causing the interrupt handler to be
re-entered errantly. This situation can be avoided by either clearing the interrupt source
at the beginning of the interrupt handler or by performing a read or write after the write
to clear the interrupt source (and flush the write buffer).
See “Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)” on page 84 for more information on exceptions
and interrupts.

2.5.1
Exception States
Each exception is in one of the following states:
■ Inactive. The exception is not active and not pending.
■ Pending. The exception is waiting to be serviced by the processor. An interrupt request from a
peripheral or from software can change the state of the corresponding interrupt to pending.
■ Active. An exception that is being serviced by the processor but has not completed.
Note:
An exception handler can interrupt the execution of another exception handler. In this
case, both exceptions are in the active state.
■ Active and Pending. The exception is being serviced by the processor, and there is a pending
exception from the same source.
2.5.2
Exception Types
The exception types are:
■ Reset. Reset is invoked on power up or a warm reset. The exception model treats reset as a
special form of exception. When reset is asserted, the operation of the processor stops, potentially
at any point in an instruction. When reset is deasserted, execution restarts from the address
provided by the reset entry in the vector table. Execution restarts as privileged execution in
Thread mode.
■ NMI. A non-maskable Interrupt (NMI) can be signaled using the NMI signal or triggered by
software using the Interrupt Control and State (INTCTRL) register. This exception has the
highest priority other than reset. NMI is permanently enabled and has a fixed priority of -2. NMIs
cannot be masked or prevented from activation by any other exception or preempted by any
exception other than reset.
■ Hard Fault. A hard fault is an exception that occurs because of an error during exception
processing, or because an exception cannot be managed by any other exception mechanism.
Hard faults have a fixed priority of -1, meaning they have higher priority than any exception with
configurable priority.
■ Memory Management Fault. A memory management fault is an exception that occurs because
of a memory protection related fault, including access violation and no match. The MPU or the
fixed memory protection constraints determine this fault, for both instruction and data memory
transactions. This fault is used to abort instruction accesses to Execute Never (XN) memory
regions, even if the MPU is disabled.
■ Bus Fault. A bus fault is an exception that occurs because of a memory-related fault for an
instruction or data memory transaction such as a prefetch fault or a memory access fault. This
fault can be enabled or disabled.
■ Usage Fault. A usage fault is an exception that occurs because of a fault related to instruction
execution, such as:
– An undefined instruction
– An illegal unaligned access
– Invalid state on instruction execution
June 18, 2012
69
Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
– An error on exception return
An unaligned address on a word or halfword memory access or division by zero can cause a
usage fault when the core is properly configured.
■ SVCall. A supervisor call (SVC) is an exception that is triggered by the SVC instruction. In an
OS environment, applications can use SVC instructions to access OS kernel functions and device
drivers.
■ Debug Monitor. This exception is caused by the debug monitor (when not halting). This exception
is only active when enabled. This exception does not activate if it is a lower priority than the
current activation.
■ PendSV. PendSV is a pendable, interrupt-driven request for system-level service. In an OS
environment, use PendSV for context switching when no other exception is active. PendSV is
triggered using the Interrupt Control and State (INTCTRL) register.
■ SysTick. A SysTick exception is an exception that the system timer generates when it reaches
zero when it is enabled to generate an interrupt. Software can also generate a SysTick exception
using the Interrupt Control and State (INTCTRL) register. In an OS environment, the processor
can use this exception as system tick.
■ Interrupt (IRQ). An interrupt, or IRQ, is an exception signaled by a peripheral or generated by
a software request and fed through the NVIC (prioritized). All interrupts are asynchronous to
instruction execution. In the system, peripherals use interrupts to communicate with the processor.
Table 2-9 on page 71 lists the interrupts on the LM3S6420 controller.
For an asynchronous exception, other than reset, the processor can execute another instruction
between when the exception is triggered and when the processor enters the exception handler.
Privileged software can disable the exceptions that Table 2-8 on page 70 shows as having
configurable priority (see the SYSHNDCTRL register on page 125 and the DIS0 register on page 100).
For more information about hard faults, memory management faults, bus faults, and usage faults,

Exception Handlers
The processor handles exceptions using:

Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
■ Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs). Interrupts (IRQx) are the exceptions handled by ISRs.
■ Fault Handlers. Hard fault, memory management fault, usage fault, and bus fault are fault
exceptions handled by the fault handlers.
■ System Handlers. NMI, PendSV, SVCall, SysTick, and the fault exceptions are all system
exceptions that are handled by system handlers.
2.5.4
Vector Table
The vector table contains the reset value of the stack pointer and the start addresses, also called
exception vectors, for all exception handlers. The vector table is constructed using the vector address
or offset shown in Table 2-8 on page 70. Figure 2-6 on page 72 shows the order of the exception
vectors in the vector table. The least-significant bit of each vector must be 1, indicating that the
exception handler is Thumb code

On system reset, the vector table is fixed at address 0x0000.0000. Privileged software can write to
the Vector Table Offset (VTABLE) register to relocate the vector table start address to a different
memory location, in the range 0x0000.0100 to 0x3FFF.FF00 (see “Vector Table” on page 72). Note
that when configuring the VTABLE register, the offset must be aligned on a 256-byte boundary.

Exception Priorities
As Table 2-8 on page 70 shows, all exceptions have an associated priority, with a lower priority
value indicating a higher priority and configurable priorities for all exceptions except Reset, Hard
fault, and NMI. If software does not configure any priorities, then all exceptions with a configurable
priority have a priority of 0. For information about configuring exception priorities, see page 122 and
page 108.
Note:
Configurable priority values for the Stellaris implementation are in the range 0-7. This means
that the Reset, Hard fault, and NMI exceptions, with fixed negative priority values, always
have higher priority than any other exception.
For example, assigning a higher priority value to IRQ[0] and a lower priority value to IRQ[1] means
that IRQ[1] has higher priority than IRQ[0]. If both IRQ[1] and IRQ[0] are asserted, IRQ[1] is processed
before IRQ[0].
If multiple pending exceptions have the same priority, the pending exception with the lowest exception
number takes precedence. For example, if both IRQ[0] and IRQ[1] are pending and have the same
priority, then IRQ[0] is processed before IRQ[1].
When the processor is executing an exception handler, the exception handler is preempted if a
higher priority exception occurs. If an exception occurs with the same priority as the exception being
handled, the handler is not preempted, irrespective of the exception number. However, the status
of the new interrupt changes to pending.
2.5.6
Interrupt Priority Grouping
To increase priority control in systems with interrupts, the NVIC supports priority grouping. This
grouping divides each interrupt priority register entry into two fields:
■ An upper field that defines the group priority
■ A lower field that defines a subpriority within the group
Only the group priority determines preemption of interrupt exceptions. When the processor is
executing an interrupt exception handler, another interrupt with the same group priority as the
interrupt being handled does not preempt the handler.
If multiple pending interrupts have the same group priority, the subpriority field determines the order
in which they are processed. If multiple pending interrupts have the same group priority and
subpriority, the interrupt with the lowest IRQ number is processed first.
For information about splitting the interrupt priority fields into group priority and subpriority, see
page 116.
2.5.7
Exception Entry and Return
Descriptions of exception handling use the following terms:
■ Preemption. When the processor is executing an exception handler, an exception can preempt
the exception handler if its priority is higher than the priority of the exception being handled. See
“Interrupt Priority Grouping” on page 73 for more information about preemption by an interrupt.
When one exception preempts another, the exceptions are called nested exceptions. See
“Exception Entry” on page 74 more information.
■ Return. Return occurs when the exception handler is completed, and there is no pending
exception with sufficient priority to be serviced and the completed exception handler was not

Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
handling a late-arriving exception. The processor pops the stack and restores the processor
state to the state it had before the interrupt occurred. See “Exception Return” on page 75 for
more information.
■ Tail-Chaining. This mechanism speeds up exception servicing. On completion of an exception
handler, if there is a pending exception that meets the requirements for exception entry, the
stack pop is skipped and control transfers to the new exception handler.
■ Late-Arriving. This mechanism speeds up preemption. If a higher priority exception occurs
during state saving for a previous exception, the processor switches to handle the higher priority
exception and initiates the vector fetch for that exception. State saving is not affected by late
arrival because the state saved is the same for both exceptions. Therefore, the state saving
continues uninterrupted. The processor can accept a late arriving exception until the first instruction
of the exception handler of the original exception enters the execute stage of the processor. On
return from the exception handler of the late-arriving exception, the normal tail-chaining rules
apply.
2.5.7.1
Exception Entry
Exception entry occurs when there is a pending exception with sufficient priority and either the
processor is in Thread mode or the new exception is of higher priority than the exception being
handled, in which case the new exception preempts the original exception.
When one exception preempts another, the exceptions are nested.
Sufficient priority means the exception has more priority than any limits set by the mask registers
(see PRIMASK on page 56, FAULTMASK on page 57, and BASEPRI on page 58). An exception
with less priority than this is pending but is not handled by the processor.
When the processor takes an exception, unless the exception is a tail-chained or a late-arriving
exception, the processor pushes information onto the current stack. This operation is referred to as
stacking and the structure of eight data words is referred to as stack frame.

Immediately after stacking, the stack pointer indicates the lowest address in the stack frame. Unless
stack alignment is disabled, the stack frame is aligned to a double-word address. If the STKALIGN
bit of the Configuration Control (CCR) register is set, stack align adjustment is performed during
stacking.
The stack frame includes the return address, which is the address of the next instruction in the
interrupted program. This value is restored to the PC at exception return so that the interrupted
program resumes.
74

Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
In parallel to the stacking operation, the processor performs a vector fetch that reads the exception
handler start address from the vector table. When stacking is complete, the processor starts executing
the exception handler. At the same time, the processor writes an EXC_RETURN value to the LR,
indicating which stack pointer corresponds to the stack frame and what operation mode the processor
was in before the entry occurred.
If no higher-priority exception occurs during exception entry, the processor starts executing the
exception handler and automatically changes the status of the corresponding pending interrupt to
active.
If another higher-priority exception occurs during exception entry, known as late arrival, the processor
starts executing the exception handler for this exception and does not change the pending status
of the earlier exception.
2.5.7.2
Exception Return
Exception return occurs when the processor is in Handler mode and executes one of the following
instructions to load the EXC_RETURN value into the PC:
■ An LDM or POP instruction that loads the PC
■ A BX instruction using any register
■ An LDR instruction with the PC as the destination
EXC_RETURN is the value loaded into the LR on exception entry. The exception mechanism relies
on this value to detect when the processor has completed an exception handler. The lowest four
bits of this value provide information on the return stack and processor mode. Table 2-10 on page 75
shows the EXC_RETURN values with a description of the exception return behavior.
EXC_RETURN bits 31:4 are all set. When this value is loaded into the PC, it indicates to the processor
that the exception is complete, and the processor initiates the appropriate exception return sequence.

Fault Handling
Faults are a subset of the exceptions (see “Exception Model” on page 68). The following conditions
generate a fault:

■ A bus error on an instruction fetch or vector table load or a data access.
■ An internally detected error such as an undefined instruction or an attempt to change state with

■ Attempting to execute an instruction from a memory region marked as Non-Executable (XN).
■ An MPU fault because of a privilege violation or an attempt to access an unmanaged region.

Fault Escalation and Hard Faults
All fault exceptions except for hard fault have configurable exception priority (see SYSPRI1 on
page 122). Software can disable execution of the handlers for these faults (see SYSHNDCTRL on
page 125).
76
June 18, 2012

Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
Usually, the exception priority, together with the values of the exception mask registers, determines
whether the processor enters the fault handler, and whether a fault handler can preempt another
fault handler as described in “Exception Model” on page 68.
In some situations, a fault with configurable priority is treated as a hard fault. This process is called
priority escalation, and the fault is described as escalated to hard fault. Escalation to hard fault
occurs when:
■ A fault handler causes the same kind of fault as the one it is servicing. This escalation to hard
fault occurs because a fault handler cannot preempt itself because it must have the same priority
as the current priority level.
■ A fault handler causes a fault with the same or lower priority as the fault it is servicing. This
situation happens because the handler for the new fault cannot preempt the currently executing
fault handler.
■ An exception handler causes a fault for which the priority is the same as or lower than the currently
executing exception.
■ A fault occurs and the handler for that fault is not enabled.
If a bus fault occurs during a stack push when entering a bus fault handler, the bus fault does not
escalate to a hard fault. Thus if a corrupted stack causes a fault, the fault handler executes even
though the stack push for the handler failed. The fault handler operates but the stack contents are
corrupted.
Note:
2.6.3
Only Reset and NMI can preempt the fixed priority hard fault. A hard fault can preempt any
exception other than Reset, NMI, or another hard fault.
Fault Status Registers and Fault Address Registers
The fault status registers indicate the cause of a fault. For bus faults and memory management
faults, the fault address register indicates the address accessed by the operation that caused the
fault, as shown in Table 2-12 on page 77.

Lockup
The processor enters a lockup state if a hard fault occurs when executing the NMI or hard fault
handlers. When the processor is in the lockup state, it does not execute any instructions. The
processor remains in lockup state until it is reset, an NMI occurs, or it is halted by a debugger.
Note:
If the lockup state occurs from the NMI handler, a subsequent NMI does not cause the
processor to leave the lockup state.

Power Management
The Cortex-M3 processor sleep modes reduce power consumption:
■ Sleep mode stops the processor clock.
■ Deep-sleep mode stops the system clock and switches off the PLL and Flash memory.
The SLEEPDEEP bit of the System Control (SYSCTRL) register selects which sleep mode is used
(see page 118). For more information about the behavior of the sleep modes, see “System
Control” on page 171.
This section describes the mechanisms for entering sleep mode and the conditions for waking up
from sleep mode, both of which apply to Sleep mode and Deep-sleep mode.
2.7.1
Entering Sleep Modes
This section describes the mechanisms software can use to put the processor into one of the sleep
modes.
The system can generate spurious wake-up events, for example a debug operation wakes up the
processor. Therefore, software must be able to put the processor back into sleep mode after such
an event. A program might have an idle loop to put the processor back to sleep mode.
2.7.1.1
Wait for Interrupt
The wait for interrupt instruction, WFI, causes immediate entry to sleep mode unless the wake-up
condition is true (see “Wake Up from WFI or Sleep-on-Exit” on page 79). When the processor
executes a WFI instruction, it stops executing instructions and enters sleep mode. See the
Cortex™-M3/M4 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual for more information.
2.7.1.2
Wait for Event
The wait for event instruction, WFE, causes entry to sleep mode conditional on the value of a one-bit
event register. When the processor executes a WFE instruction, it checks the event register. If the
register is 0, the processor stops executing instructions and enters sleep mode. If the register is 1,
the processor clears the register and continues executing instructions without entering sleep mode.
If the event register is 1, the processor must not enter sleep mode on execution of a WFE instruction.
Typically, this situation occurs if an SEV instruction has been executed. Software cannot access
this register directly.
See the Cortex™-M3/M4 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual for more information.
2.7.1.3
Sleep-on-Exit
If the SLEEPEXIT bit of the SYSCTRL register is set, when the processor completes the execution
of all exception handlers, it returns to Thread mode and immediately enters sleep mode. This
mechanism can be used in applications that only require the processor to run when an exception
occurs.
2.7.2
Wake Up from Sleep Mode
The conditions for the processor to wake up depend on the mechanism that cause it to enter sleep
mode.

Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
2.7.2.1
Wake Up from WFI or Sleep-on-Exit
Normally, the processor wakes up only when the NVIC detects an exception with sufficient priority
to cause exception entry. Some embedded systems might have to execute system restore tasks
after the processor wakes up and before executing an interrupt handler. Entry to the interrupt handler
can be delayed by setting the PRIMASK bit and clearing the FAULTMASK bit. If an interrupt arrives
that is enabled and has a higher priority than current exception priority, the processor wakes up but
does not execute the interrupt handler until the processor clears PRIMASK. For more information
about PRIMASK and FAULTMASK, see page 56 and page 57.
2.7.2.2
Wake Up from WFE
The processor wakes up if it detects an exception with sufficient priority to cause exception entry.
In addition, if the SEVONPEND bit in the SYSCTRL register is set, any new pending interrupt triggers
an event and wakes up the processor, even if the interrupt is disabled or has insufficient priority to
cause exception entry. For more information about SYSCTRL, see page 118.
2.8
Instruction Set Summary
The processor implements a version of the Thumb instruction set. Table 2-13 on page 79 lists the
supported instructions.

This chapter provides information on the Stellaris implementation of the Cortex-M3 processor
peripherals, including:
■ SysTick (see page 83)
Provides a simple, 24-bit clear-on-write, decrementing, wrap-on-zero counter with a flexible
control mechanism.
■ Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) (see page 84)
– Facilitates low-latency exception and interrupt handling
– Controls power management
– Implements system control registers
■ System Control Block (SCB) (see page 86)
Provides system implementation information and system control, including configuration, control,
and reporting of system exceptions.
■ Memory Protection Unit (MPU) (see page 86)
Supports the standard ARMv7 Protected Memory System Architecture (PMSA) model. The MPU
provides full support for protection regions, overlapping protection regions, access permissions,
and exporting memory attributes to the system.
Table 3-1 on page 83 shows the address map of the Private Peripheral Bus (PPB). Some peripheral
register regions are split into two address regions, as indicated by two addresses listed.

Functional Description
This chapter provides information on the Stellaris implementation of the Cortex-M3 processor
peripherals: SysTick, NVIC, SCB and MPU.
3.1.1
System Timer (SysTick)
Cortex-M3 includes an integrated system timer, SysTick, which provides a simple, 24-bit
clear-on-write, decrementing, wrap-on-zero counter with a flexible control mechanism. The counter
can be used in several different ways, for example as:
■ An RTOS tick timer that fires at a programmable rate (for example, 100 Hz) and invokes a SysTick
routine.
■ A high-speed alarm timer using the system clock.

■ A variable rate alarm or signal timer—the duration is range-dependent on the reference clock
used and the dynamic range of the counter.
■ A simple counter used to measure time to completion and time used.
■ An internal clock source control based on missing/meeting durations. The COUNT bit in the
STCTRL control and status register can be used to determine if an action completed within a
set duration, as part of a dynamic clock management control loop.
The timer consists of three registers:
■ SysTick Control and Status (STCTRL): A control and status counter to configure its clock,
enable the counter, enable the SysTick interrupt, and determine counter status.
■ SysTick Reload Value (STRELOAD): The reload value for the counter, used to provide the
counter's wrap value.
■ SysTick Current Value (STCURRENT): The current value of the counter.
When enabled, the timer counts down on each clock from the reload value to zero, reloads (wraps)
to the value in the STRELOAD register on the next clock edge, then decrements on subsequent
clocks. Clearing the STRELOAD register disables the counter on the next wrap. When the counter
reaches zero, the COUNT status bit is set. The COUNT bit clears on reads.
Writing to the STCURRENT register clears the register and the COUNT status bit. The write does
not trigger the SysTick exception logic. On a read, the current value is the value of the register at
the time the register is accessed.
The SysTick counter runs on the system clock. If this clock signal is stopped for low power mode,
the SysTick counter stops. Ensure software uses aligned word accesses to access the SysTick
registers.
Note:
3.1.2
When the processor is halted for debugging, the counter does not decrement.
Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
This section describes the Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) and the registers it uses.
The NVIC supports:
■ 21 interrupts.
■ A programmable priority level of 0-7 for each interrupt. A higher level corresponds to a lower
priority, so level 0 is the highest interrupt priority.
■ Low-latency exception and interrupt handling.
■ Level and pulse detection of interrupt signals.
■ Dynamic reprioritization of interrupts.
■ Grouping of priority values into group priority and subpriority fields.
■ Interrupt tail-chaining.
■ An external Non-maskable interrupt (NMI).

The processor automatically stacks its state on exception entry and unstacks this state on exception
exit, with no instruction overhead, providing low latency exception handling.
3.1.2.1
Level-Sensitive and Pulse Interrupts
The processor supports both level-sensitive and pulse interrupts. Pulse interrupts are also described
as edge-triggered interrupts.
A level-sensitive interrupt is held asserted until the peripheral deasserts the interrupt signal. Typically
this happens because the ISR accesses the peripheral, causing it to clear the interrupt request. A
pulse interrupt is an interrupt signal sampled synchronously on the rising edge of the processor
clock. To ensure the NVIC detects the interrupt, the peripheral must assert the interrupt signal for
at least one clock cycle, during which the NVIC detects the pulse and latches the interrupt.
When the processor enters the ISR, it automatically removes the pending state from the interrupt
(see “Hardware and Software Control of Interrupts” on page 85 for more information). For a
level-sensitive interrupt, if the signal is not deasserted before the processor returns from the ISR,
the interrupt becomes pending again, and the processor must execute its ISR again. As a result,
the peripheral can hold the interrupt signal asserted until it no longer needs servicing.
3.1.2.2
Hardware and Software Control of Interrupts
The Cortex-M3 latches all interrupts. A peripheral interrupt becomes pending for one of the following
reasons:
■ The NVIC detects that the interrupt signal is High and the interrupt is not active.
■ The NVIC detects a rising edge on the interrupt signal.
■ Software writes to the corresponding interrupt set-pending register bit, or to the Software Trigger
Interrupt (SWTRIG) register to make a Software-Generated Interrupt pending. See the INT bit
in the PEND0 register on page 102 or SWTRIG on page 110.
A pending interrupt remains pending until one of the following:
■ The processor enters the ISR for the interrupt, changing the state of the interrupt from pending
to active. Then:
– For a level-sensitive interrupt, when the processor returns from the ISR, the NVIC samples
the interrupt signal. If the signal is asserted, the state of the interrupt changes to pending,
which might cause the processor to immediately re-enter the ISR. Otherwise, the state of the
interrupt changes to inactive.
– For a pulse interrupt, the NVIC continues to monitor the interrupt signal, and if this is pulsed
the state of the interrupt changes to pending and active. In this case, when the processor
returns from the ISR the state of the interrupt changes to pending, which might cause the
processor to immediately re-enter the ISR.
If the interrupt signal is not pulsed while the processor is in the ISR, when the processor
returns from the ISR the state of the interrupt changes to inactive.
■ Software writes to the corresponding interrupt clear-pending register bit
– For a level-sensitive interrupt, if the interrupt signal is still asserted, the state of the interrupt
does not change. Otherwise, the state of the interrupt changes to inactive.

– For a pulse interrupt, the state of the interrupt changes to inactive, if the state was pending
or to active, if the state was active and pending.
3.1.3
System Control Block (SCB)
The System Control Block (SCB) provides system implementation information and system control,
including configuration, control, and reporting of the system exceptions.
3.1.4
Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
This section describes the Memory protection unit (MPU). The MPU divides the memory map into
a number of regions and defines the location, size, access permissions, and memory attributes of
each region. The MPU supports independent attribute settings for each region, overlapping regions,
and export of memory attributes to the system.
The memory attributes affect the behavior of memory accesses to the region. The Cortex-M3 MPU
defines eight separate memory regions, 0-7, and a background region.
When memory regions overlap, a memory access is affected by the attributes of the region with the
highest number. For example, the attributes for region 7 take precedence over the attributes of any
region that overlaps region 7.
The background region has the same memory access attributes as the default memory map, but is
accessible from privileged software only.
The Cortex-M3 MPU memory map is unified, meaning that instruction accesses and data accesses
have the same region settings.
If a program accesses a memory location that is prohibited by the MPU, the processor generates
a memory management fault, causing a fault exception and possibly causing termination of the
process in an OS environment. In an OS environment, the kernel can update the MPU region setting
dynamically based on the process to be executed. Typically, an embedded OS uses the MPU for
memory protection.
Configuration of MPU regions is based on memory types (see “Memory Regions, Types and
Attributes” on page 61 for more information).
Table 3-2 on page 86 shows the possible MPU region attributes. See the section called “MPU
Configuration for a Stellaris Microcontroller” on page 90 for guidelines for programming a
microcontroller implementation.

To avoid unexpected behavior, disable the interrupts before updating the attributes of a region that
the interrupt handlers might access.
Ensure software uses aligned accesses of the correct size to access MPU registers:
■ Except for the MPU Region Attribute and Size (MPUATTR) register, all MPU registers must
be accessed with aligned word accesses.
■ The MPUATTR register can be accessed with byte or aligned halfword or word accesses.

The processor does not support unaligned accesses to MPU registers.
When setting up the MPU, and if the MPU has previously been programmed, disable unused regions
to prevent any previous region settings from affecting the new MPU setup.
3.1.4.1
Updating an MPU Region
To update the attributes for an MPU region, the MPU Region Number (MPUNUMBER), MPU
Region Base Address (MPUBASE) and MPUATTR registers must be updated. Each register can
be programmed separately or with a multiple-word write to program all of these registers. You can
use the MPUBASEx and MPUATTRx aliases to program up to four regions simultaneously using
an STM instruction.
Updating an MPU Region Using Separate Words
This example simple code configures one region:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = size/enable
; R3 = attributes
; R4 = address
LDR R0,=MPUNUMBER
STR R1, [R0, #0x0]
STR R4, [R0, #0x4]
STRH R2, [R0, #0x8]
STRH R3, [R0, #0xA]
;
;
;
;
;
0xE000ED98, MPU region number register
Region Number
Region Base Address
Region Size and Enable
Region Attribute
Disable a region before writing new region settings to the MPU if you have previously enabled the
region being changed. For example:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = size/enable
; R3 = attributes
; R4 = address
LDR R0,=MPUNUMBER
STR R1, [R0, #0x0]
BIC R2, R2, #1
STRH R2, [R0, #0x8]
STR R4, [R0, #0x4]
STRH R3, [R0, #0xA]
ORR R2, #1

Software must use memory barrier instructions:
■ Before MPU setup, if there might be outstanding memory transfers, such as buffered writes, that
might be affected by the change in MPU settings.
■ After MPU setup, if it includes memory transfers that must use the new MPU settings.
However, memory barrier instructions are not required if the MPU setup process starts by entering
an exception handler, or is followed by an exception return, because the exception entry and
exception return mechanism cause memory barrier behavior.
Software does not need any memory barrier instructions during MPU setup, because it accesses
the MPU through the Private Peripheral Bus (PPB), which is a Strongly Ordered memory region.

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Cortex-M3 Peripherals
For example, if all of the memory access behavior is intended to take effect immediately after the
programming sequence, then a DSB instruction and an ISB instruction should be used. A DSB is
required after changing MPU settings, such as at the end of context switch. An ISB is required if
the code that programs the MPU region or regions is entered using a branch or call. If the
programming sequence is entered using a return from exception, or by taking an exception, then
an ISB is not required.
Updating an MPU Region Using Multi-Word Writes
The MPU can be programmed directly using multi-word writes, depending how the information is
divided. Consider the following reprogramming:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = address
; R3 = size, attributes in one
LDR R0, =MPUNUMBER ; 0xE000ED98, MPU region number register
STR R1, [R0, #0x0] ; Region Number
STR R2, [R0, #0x4] ; Region Base Address
STR R3, [R0, #0x8] ; Region Attribute, Size and Enable
An STM instruction can be used to optimize this:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = address
; R3 = size, attributes in one
LDR R0, =MPUNUMBER ; 0xE000ED98, MPU region number register
STM R0, {R1-R3}
; Region number, address, attribute, size and enable
This operation can be done in two words for pre-packed information, meaning that the MPU Region
Base Address (MPUBASE) register (see page 142) contains the required region number and has
the VALID bit set. This method can be used when the data is statically packed, for example in a
boot loader:
; R1 = address and region number in one
; R2 = size and attributes in one
LDR R0, =MPUBASE
; 0xE000ED9C, MPU Region Base register
STR R1, [R0, #0x0] ; Region base address and region number combined
; with VALID (bit 4) set
STR R2, [R0, #0x4] ; Region Attribute, Size and Enable
Subregions
Regions of 256 bytes or more are divided into eight equal-sized subregions. Set the corresponding
bit in the SRD field of the MPU Region Attribute and Size (MPUATTR) register (see page 144) to
disable a subregion. The least-significant bit of the SRD field controls the first subregion, and the
most-significant bit controls the last subregion. Disabling a subregion means another region
overlapping the disabled range matches instead. If no other enabled region overlaps the disabled
subregion, the MPU issues a fault.
Regions of 32, 64, and 128 bytes do not support subregions. With regions of these sizes, the SRD
field must be configured to 0x00, otherwise the MPU behavior is unpredictable.

Example of SRD Use
Two regions with the same base address overlap. Region one is 128 KB, and region two is 512 KB.
To ensure the attributes from region one apply to the first 128 KB region, configure the SRD field for
region two to 0x03 to disable the first two subregions, as Figure 3-1 on page 89 shows.

MPU Access Permission Attributes
The access permission bits, TEX, S, C, B, AP, and XN of the MPUATTR register, control access to
the corresponding memory region. If an access is made to an area of memory without the required
permissions, then the MPU generates a permission fault.
Table 3-3 on page 89 shows the encodings for the TEX, C, B, and S access permission bits. All
encodings are shown for completeness, however the current implementation of the Cortex-M3 does
not support the concept of cacheability or shareability. Refer to the section called “MPU Configuration
for a Stellaris Microcontroller” on page 90 for information on programming the MPU for Stellaris
implementations.

In current Stellaris microcontroller implementations, the shareability and cache policy attributes do
not affect the system behavior. However, using these settings for the MPU regions can make the
application code more portable. The values given are for typical situations.
3.1.4.3
MPU Mismatch
When an access violates the MPU permissions, the processor generates a memory management
fault (see “Exceptions and Interrupts” on page 60 for more information). The MFAULTSTAT register
indicates the cause of the fault. See page 129 for more information.

1
The SysTick timer has counted to 0 since the last time
this bit was read.
This bit is cleared by a read of the register or if the STCURRENT register
is written with any value.
If read by the debugger using the DAP, this bit is cleared only if the
MasterType bit in the AHB-AP Control Register is clear. Otherwise,
the COUNT bit is not changed by the debugger read. See the ARM®
Debug Interface V5 Architecture Specification for more information on
MasterType.

1
Enables SysTick to operate in a multi-shot way. That is, the
counter loads the RELOAD value and begins counting down.
On reaching 0, the COUNT bit is set and an interrupt is
generated if enabled by INTEN. The counter then loads the
RELOAD value again and begins counting.

Register 2: SysTick Reload Value Register (STRELOAD), offset 0x014
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The STRELOAD register specifies the start value to load into the SysTick Current Value
(STCURRENT) register when the counter reaches 0. The start value can be between 0x1 and
0x00FF.FFFF. A start value of 0 is possible but has no effect because the SysTick interrupt and the
COUNT bit are activated when counting from 1 to 0.
SysTick can be configured as a multi-shot timer, repeated over and over, firing every N+1 clock
pulses, where N is any value from 1 to 0x00FF.FFFF. For example, if a tick interrupt is required
every 100 clock pulses, 99 must be written into the RELOAD field.

NVIC Register Descriptions
This section lists and describes the NVIC registers, in numerical order by address offset.
The NVIC registers can only be fully accessed from privileged mode, but interrupts can be pended
while in unprivileged mode by enabling the Configuration and Control (CFGCTRL) register. Any
other unprivileged mode access causes a bus fault.
Ensure software uses correctly aligned register accesses. The processor does not support unaligned
accesses to NVIC registers.
An interrupt can enter the pending state even if it is disabled.
Before programming the VTABLE register to relocate the vector table, ensure the vector table
entries of the new vector table are set up for fault handlers, NMI, and all enabled exceptions such
as interrupts. For more information, see page 115.

Register 4: Interrupt 0-31 Set Enable (EN0), offset 0x100
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The EN0 register enables interrupts and shows which interrupts are enabled. Bit 0 corresponds to
Interrupt 0; bit 31 corresponds to Interrupt 31.
See Table 2-9 on page 71 for interrupt assignments.
If a pending interrupt is enabled, the NVIC activates the interrupt based on its priority. If an interrupt
is not enabled, asserting its interrupt signal changes the interrupt state to pending, but the NVIC
never activates the interrupt, regardless of its priority.

Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The PRIn registers provide 3-bit priority fields for each interrupt. These registers are byte accessible.
Each register holds four priority fields that are assigned to interrupts as follows:
PRIn Register Bit Field
Interrupt
Bits 31:29
Interrupt [4n+3]
Bits 23:21
Interrupt [4n+2]
Bits 15:13
Interrupt [4n+1]
Bits 7:5

See Table 2-9 on page 71 for interrupt assignments.
Each priority level can be split into separate group priority and subpriority fields. The PRIGROUP
field in the Application Interrupt and Reset Control (APINT) register (see page 116) indicates the
position of the binary point that splits the priority and subpriority fields.
These registers can only be accessed from privileged mode.

This section lists and describes the System Control Block (SCB) registers, in numerical order by
address offset. The SCB registers can only be accessed from privileged mode.
All registers must be accessed with aligned word accesses except for the FAULTSTAT and
SYSPRI1-SYSPRI3 registers, which can be accessed with byte or aligned halfword or word accesses.
The processor does not support unaligned accesses to system control block registers.

Register 27: Interrupt Control and State (INTCTRL), offset 0xD04
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The INCTRL register provides a set-pending bit for the NMI exception, and set-pending and
clear-pending bits for the PendSV and SysTick exceptions. In addition, bits in this register indicate
the exception number of the exception being processed, whether there are preempted active
exceptions, the exception number of the highest priority pending exception, and whether any interrupts
are pending.
When writing to INCTRL, the effect is unpredictable when writing a 1 to both the PENDSV and
UNPENDSV bits, or writing a 1 to both the PENDSTSET and PENDSTCLR bits.

1
On a read, indicates an NMI exception is pending.
On a write, changes the NMI exception state to pending.
Because NMI is the highest-priority exception, normally the processor
enters the NMI exception handler as soon as it registers the setting of
this bit, and clears this bit on entering the interrupt handler. A read of
this bit by the NMI exception handler returns 1 only if the NMI signal is
reasserted while the processor is executing that handler.

This field contains the active exception number. The exception numbers
can be found in the description for the VECPEND field. If this field is clear,
the processor is in Thread mode. This field contains the same value as
the ISRNUM field in the IPSR register.
Subtract 16 from this value to obtain the IRQ number required to index
into the Interrupt Set Enable (ENn), Interrupt Clear Enable (DISn),
Interrupt Set Pending (PENDn), Interrupt Clear Pending (UNPENDn),
and Interrupt Priority (PRIn) registers (see page 52).

Register 29: Application Interrupt and Reset Control (APINT), offset 0xD0C
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The APINT register provides priority grouping control for the exception model, endian status for
data accesses, and reset control of the system. To write to this register, 0x05FA must be written to
the VECTKEY field, otherwise the write is ignored.
The PRIGROUP field indicates the position of the binary point that splits the INTx fields in the
Interrupt Priority (PRIx) registers into separate group priority and subpriority fields. Table
3-8 on page 116 shows how the PRIGROUP value controls this split. The bit numbers in the Group
Priority Field and Subpriority Field columns in the table refer to the bits in the INTA field. For the
INTB field, the corresponding bits are 15:13; for INTC, 23:21; and for INTD, 31:29.
Note:
Determining preemption of an exception uses only the group priority field.

Register 35: System Handler Control and State (SYSHNDCTRL), offset 0xD24
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The SYSHNDCTRL register enables the system handlers, and indicates the pending status of the
usage fault, bus fault, memory management fault, and SVC exceptions as well as the active status
of the system handlers.
If a system handler is disabled and the corresponding fault occurs, the processor treats the fault as
a hard fault.
This register can be modified to change the pending or active status of system exceptions. An OS
kernel can write to the active bits to perform a context switch that changes the current exception
type.
Caution – Software that changes the value of an active bit in this register without correct adjustment
to the stacked content can cause the processor to generate a fault exception. Ensure software that writes
to this register retains and subsequently restores the current active status.
If the value of a bit in this register must be modified after enabling the system handlers, a
read-modify-write procedure must be used to ensure that only the required bit is modified.

Register 36: Configurable Fault Status (FAULTSTAT), offset 0xD28
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The FAULTSTAT register indicates the cause of a memory management fault, bus fault, or usage
fault. Each of these functions is assigned to a subregister as follows:
■ Usage Fault Status (UFAULTSTAT), bits 31:16
■ Bus Fault Status (BFAULTSTAT), bits 15:8
■ Memory Management Fault Status (MFAULTSTAT), bits 7:0
FAULTSTAT is byte accessible. FAULTSTAT or its subregisters can be accessed as follows:
■

■
■
The complete FAULTSTAT register, with a word access to offset 0xD28
The MFAULTSTAT, with a byte access to offset 0xD28
The MFAULTSTAT and BFAULTSTAT, with a halfword access to offset 0xD28
The BFAULTSTAT, with a byte access to offset 0xD29
The UFAULTSTAT, with a halfword access to offset 0xD2A
Bits are cleared by writing a 1 to them.
In a fault handler, the true faulting address can be determined by:
1. Read and save the Memory Management Fault Address (MMADDR) or Bus Fault Address
(FAULTADDR) value.
2. Read the MMARV bit in MFAULTSTAT, or the BFARV bit in BFAULTSTAT to determine if the
MMADDR or FAULTADDR contents are valid.
Software must follow this sequence because another higher priority exception might change the
MMADDR or FAULTADDR value. For example, if a higher priority handler preempts the current
fault handler, the other fault might change the MMADDR or FAULTADDR value.

This fault is asynchronous. Therefore, if the fault is detected when the
priority of the current process is higher than the bus fault priority, the
bus fault becomes pending and becomes active only when the processor
returns from all higher-priority processes. If a precise fault occurs before
the processor enters the handler for the imprecise bus fault, the handler
detects that both the IMPRE bit is set and one of the precise fault status

Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The MMADDR register contains the address of the location that generated a memory management
fault. When an unaligned access faults, the address in the MMADDR register is the actual address
that faulted. Because a single read or write instruction can be split into multiple aligned accesses,
the fault address can be any address in the range of the requested access size. Bits in the Memory
Management Fault Status (MFAULTSTAT) register indicate the cause of the fault and whether
the value in the MMADDR register is valid (see page 129).

Register 39: Bus Fault Address (FAULTADDR), offset 0xD38
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The FAULTADDR register contains the address of the location that generated a bus fault. When
an unaligned access faults, the address in the FAULTADDR register is the one requested by the
instruction, even if it is not the address of the fault. Bits in the Bus Fault Status (BFAULTSTAT)
register indicate the cause of the fault and whether the value in the FAULTADDR register is valid
(see page 129).

Register 41: MPU Control (MPUCTRL), offset 0xD94
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The MPUCTRL register enables the MPU, enables the default memory map background region,
and enables use of the MPU when in the hard fault, Non-maskable Interrupt (NMI), and Fault Mask
Register (FAULTMASK) escalated handlers.
When the ENABLE and PRIVDEFEN bits are both set:
■ For privileged accesses, the default memory map is as described in “Memory Model” on page 60.
Any access by privileged software that does not address an enabled memory region behaves
as defined by the default memory map.
■ Any access by unprivileged software that does not address an enabled memory region causes
a memory management fault.
Execute Never (XN) and Strongly Ordered rules always apply to the System Control Space regardless
of the value of the ENABLE bit.
When the ENABLE bit is set, at least one region of the memory map must be enabled for the system
to function unless the PRIVDEFEN bit is set. If the PRIVDEFEN bit is set and no regions are enabled,
then only privileged software can operate.
When the ENABLE bit is clear, the system uses the default memory map, which has the same
memory attributes as if the MPU is not implemented (see Table 2-5 on page 62 for more information).
The default memory map applies to accesses from both privileged and unprivileged software.
When the MPU is enabled, accesses to the System Control Space and vector table are always
permitted. Other areas are accessible based on regions and whether PRIVDEFEN is set.
Unless HFNMIENA is set, the MPU is not enabled when the processor is executing the handler for
an exception with priority –1 or –2. These priorities are only possible when handling a hard fault or
NMI exception or when FAULTMASK is enabled. Setting the HFNMIENA bit enables the MPU when
operating with these two priorities.

This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The MPUNUMBER register selects which memory region is referenced by the MPU Region Base
Address (MPUBASE) and MPU Region Attribute and Size (MPUATTR) registers. Normally, the
required region number should be written to this register before accessing the MPUBASE or the
MPUATTR register. However, the region number can be changed by writing to the MPUBASE
register with the VALID bit set (see page 142). This write updates the value of the REGION field.

Register 46: MPU Region Base Address Alias 3 (MPUBASE3), offset 0xDB4
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The MPUBASE register defines the base address of the MPU region selected by the MPU Region
Number (MPUNUMBER) register and can update the value of the MPUNUMBER register. To
change the current region number and update the MPUNUMBER register, write the MPUBASE
register with the VALID bit set.
The ADDR field is bits 31:N of the MPUBASE register. Bits (N-1):5 are reserved. The region size,
as specified by the SIZE field in the MPU Region Attribute and Size (MPUATTR) register, defines
the value of N where:
N = Log2(Region size in bytes)
If the region size is configured to 4 GB in the MPUATTR register, there is no valid ADDR field. In
this case, the region occupies the complete memory map, and the base address is 0x0000.0000.
The base address is aligned to the size of the region. For example, a 64-KB region must be aligned
on a multiple of 64 KB, for example, at 0x0001.0000 or 0x0002.0000.

Register 50: MPU Region Attribute and Size Alias 3 (MPUATTR3), offset 0xDB8
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The MPUATTR register defines the region size and memory attributes of the MPU region specified
by the MPU Region Number (MPUNUMBER) register and enables that region and any subregions.
The MPUATTR register is accessible using word or halfword accesses with the most-significant
halfword holding the region attributes and the least-significant halfword holds the region size and
the region and subregion enable bits.
The MPU access permission attribute bits, XN, AP, TEX, S, C, and B, control access to the
corresponding memory region. If an access is made to an area of memory without the required
permissions, then the MPU generates a permission fault.
The SIZE field defines the size of the MPU memory region specified by the MPUNUMBER register
as follows:
(Region size in bytes) = 2(SIZE+1)
The smallest permitted region size is 32 bytes, corresponding to a SIZE value of 4. Table
3-9 on page 144 gives example SIZE values with the corresponding region size and value of N in
the MPU Region Base Address (MPUBASE) register.

JTAG Interface
The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) port is an IEEE standard that defines a Test Access Port and
Boundary Scan Architecture for digital integrated circuits and provides a standardized serial interface
for controlling the associated test logic. The TAP, Instruction Register (IR), and Data Registers (DR)
can be used to test the interconnections of assembled printed circuit boards and obtain manufacturing
information on the components. The JTAG Port also provides a means of accessing and controlling
design-for-test features such as I/O pin observation and control, scan testing, and debugging.
The JTAG port is comprised of five pins: TRST, TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO. Data is transmitted serially
into the controller on TDI and out of the controller on TDO. The interpretation of this data is dependent
on the current state of the TAP controller. For detailed information on the operation of the JTAG
port and TAP controller, please refer to the IEEE Standard 1149.1-Test Access Port and
Boundary-Scan Architecture.
®
The Stellaris JTAG controller works with the ARM JTAG controller built into the Cortex-M3 core.
This is implemented by multiplexing the TDO outputs from both JTAG controllers. ARM JTAG
instructions select the ARM TDO output while Stellaris JTAG instructions select the Stellaris TDO
outputs. The multiplexer is controlled by the Stellaris JTAG controller, which has comprehensive
programming for the ARM, Stellaris, and unimplemented JTAG instructions.
The Stellaris JTAG module has the following features:
■ IEEE 1149.1-1990 compatible Test Access Port (TAP) controller
■ Four-bit Instruction Register (IR) chain for storing JTAG instructions
■ IEEE standard instructions: BYPASS, IDCODE, SAMPLE/PRELOAD, EXTEST and INTEST
■ ARM additional instructions: APACC, DPACC and ABORT
■ Integrated ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD)
See the ARM® Debug Interface V5 Architecture Specification for more information on the ARM
JTAG controller.

Signal Description
Table 4-1 on page 148 and Table 4-2 on page 149 list the external signals of the JTAG/SWD controller
and describe the function of each. The JTAG/SWD controller signals are alternate functions for
some GPIO signals, however note that the reset state of the pins is for the JTAG/SWD function.
The JTAG/SWD controller signals are under commit protection and require a special process to be
configured as GPIOs, see “Commit Control” on page 252. The column in the table below titled "Pin

Functional Description
A high-level conceptual drawing of the JTAG module is shown in Figure 4-1 on page 148. The JTAG
module is composed of the Test Access Port (TAP) controller and serial shift chains with parallel
update registers. The TAP controller is a simple state machine controlled by the TRST, TCK and
TMS inputs. The current state of the TAP controller depends on the current value of TRST and the
sequence of values captured on TMS at the rising edge of TCK. The TAP controller determines when
the serial shift chains capture new data, shift data from TDI towards TDO, and update the parallel
load registers. The current state of the TAP controller also determines whether the Instruction
Register (IR) chain or one of the Data Register (DR) chains is being accessed.
The serial shift chains with parallel load registers are comprised of a single Instruction Register (IR)
chain and multiple Data Register (DR) chains. The current instruction loaded in the parallel load
register determines which DR chain is captured, shifted, or updated during the sequencing of the
TAP controller.
Some instructions, like EXTEST and INTEST, operate on data currently in a DR chain and do not
capture, shift, or update any of the chains. Instructions that are not implemented decode to the
BYPASS instruction to ensure that the serial path between TDI and TDO is always connected (see
Table 4-4 on page 156 for a list of implemented instructions).
See “JTAG and Boundary Scan” on page 524 for JTAG timing diagrams.
4.3.1
JTAG Interface Pins
The JTAG interface consists of five standard pins: TRST,TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO. These pins and
their associated reset state are given in Table 4-3 on page 149. Detailed information on each pin

JTAG Interface
4.3.1.1
Test Reset Input (TRST)
The TRST pin is an asynchronous active Low input signal for initializing and resetting the JTAG TAP
controller and associated JTAG circuitry. When TRST is asserted, the TAP controller resets to the
Test-Logic-Reset state and remains there while TRST is asserted. When the TAP controller enters
the Test-Logic-Reset state, the JTAG Instruction Register (IR) resets to the default instruction,
IDCODE.
By default, the internal pull-up resistor on the TRST pin is enabled after reset. Changes to the pull-up
resistor settings on GPIO Port B should ensure that the internal pull-up resistor remains enabled
on PB7/TRST; otherwise JTAG communication could be lost.
4.3.1.2
Test Clock Input (TCK)
The TCK pin is the clock for the JTAG module. This clock is provided so the test logic can operate
independently of any other system clocks. In addition, it ensures that multiple JTAG TAP controllers
that are daisy-chained together can synchronously communicate serial test data between
components. During normal operation, TCK is driven by a free-running clock with a nominal 50%
duty cycle. When necessary, TCK can be stopped at 0 or 1 for extended periods of time. While TCK
is stopped at 0 or 1, the state of the TAP controller does not change and data in the JTAG Instruction
and Data Registers is not lost.
By default, the internal pull-up resistor on the TCK pin is enabled after reset. This assures that no
clocking occurs if the pin is not driven from an external source. The internal pull-up and pull-down
resistors can be turned off to save internal power as long as the TCK pin is constantly being driven
by an external source.
4.3.1.3
Test Mode Select (TMS)
The TMS pin selects the next state of the JTAG TAP controller. TMS is sampled on the rising edge
of TCK. Depending on the current TAP state and the sampled value of TMS, the next state is entered.
Because the TMS pin is sampled on the rising edge of TCK, the IEEE Standard 1149.1 expects the
value on TMS to change on the falling edge of TCK.
Holding TMS high for five consecutive TCK cycles drives the TAP controller state machine to the
Test-Logic-Reset state. When the TAP controller enters the Test-Logic-Reset state, the JTAG
Instruction Register (IR) resets to the default instruction, IDCODE. Therefore, this sequence can
be used as a reset mechanism, similar to asserting TRST. The JTAG Test Access Port state machine
can be seen in its entirety in Figure 4-2 on page 152.
By default, the internal pull-up resistor on the TMS pin is enabled after reset. Changes to the pull-up
resistor settings on GPIO Port C should ensure that the internal pull-up resistor remains enabled
on PC1/TMS; otherwise JTAG communication could be lost.
4.3.1.4
Test Data Input (TDI)
The TDI pin provides a stream of serial information to the IR chain and the DR chains. TDI is
sampled on the rising edge of TCK and, depending on the current TAP state and the current
instruction, presents this data to the proper shift register chain. Because the TDI pin is sampled on
the rising edge of TCK, the IEEE Standard 1149.1 expects the value on TDI to change on the falling
edge of TCK.
By default, the internal pull-up resistor on the TDI pin is enabled after reset. Changes to the pull-up
resistor settings on GPIO Port C should ensure that the internal pull-up resistor remains enabled
on PC2/TDI; otherwise JTAG communication could be lost.

Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
4.3.1.5
Test Data Output (TDO)
The TDO pin provides an output stream of serial information from the IR chain or the DR chains.
The value of TDO depends on the current TAP state, the current instruction, and the data in the
chain being accessed. In order to save power when the JTAG port is not being used, the TDO pin
is placed in an inactive drive state when not actively shifting out data. Because TDO can be connected
to the TDI of another controller in a daisy-chain configuration, the IEEE Standard 1149.1 expects
the value on TDO to change on the falling edge of TCK.
By default, the internal pull-up resistor on the TDO pin is enabled after reset. This assures that the
pin remains at a constant logic level when the JTAG port is not being used. The internal pull-up and
pull-down resistors can be turned off to save internal power if a High-Z output value is acceptable
during certain TAP controller states.
4.3.2
JTAG TAP Controller
The JTAG TAP controller state machine is shown in Figure 4-2 on page 152. The TAP controller
state machine is reset to the Test-Logic-Reset state on the assertion of a Power-On-Reset (POR)
or the assertion of TRST. Asserting the correct sequence on the TMS pin allows the JTAG module
to shift in new instructions, shift in data, or idle during extended testing sequences. For detailed
information on the function of the TAP controller and the operations that occur in each state, please
refer to IEEE Standard 1149.1.

Shift Registers
The Shift Registers consist of a serial shift register chain and a parallel load register. The serial shift
register chain samples specific information during the TAP controller’s CAPTURE states and allows
this information to be shifted out of TDO during the TAP controller’s SHIFT states. While the sampled
data is being shifted out of the chain on TDO, new data is being shifted into the serial shift register
on TDI. This new data is stored in the parallel load register during the TAP controller’s UPDATE
states. Each of the shift registers is discussed in detail in “Register Descriptions” on page 155.
4.3.4
Operational Considerations
There are certain operational considerations when using the JTAG module. Because the JTAG pins
can be programmed to be GPIOs, board configuration and reset conditions on these pins must be
considered. In addition, because the JTAG module has integrated ARM Serial Wire Debug, the
method for switching between these two operational modes is described below.

Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
4.3.4.1
GPIO Functionality
When the controller is reset with either a POR or RST, the JTAG/SWD port pins default to their
JTAG/SWD configurations. The default configuration includes enabling digital functionality (setting
GPIODEN to 1), enabling the pull-up resistors (setting GPIOPUR to 1), and enabling the alternate
hardware function (setting GPIOAFSEL to 1) for the PB7 and PC[3:0] JTAG/SWD pins.
It is possible for software to configure these pins as GPIOs after reset by writing 0s to PB7 and
PC[3:0] in the GPIOAFSEL register. If the user does not require the JTAG/SWD port for debugging
or board-level testing, this provides five more GPIOs for use in the design.
Caution – It is possible to create a software sequence that prevents the debugger from connecting to
the Stellaris microcontroller. If the program code loaded into flash immediately changes the JTAG pins
to their GPIO functionality, the debugger may not have enough time to connect and halt the controller
before the JTAG pin functionality switches. This may lock the debugger out of the part. This can be
avoided with a software routine that restores JTAG functionality based on an external or software
trigger.
The GPIO commit control registers provide a layer of protection against accidental programming of
critical hardware peripherals. Protection is currently provided for the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and
PC[3:0]). Writes to protected bits of the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register
(see page 266) are not committed to storage unless the GPIO Lock (GPIOLOCK) register (see
page 276) has been unlocked and the appropriate bits of the GPIO Commit (GPIOCR) register (see
page 277) have been set to 1.
Recovering a "Locked" Device
Note:
The mass erase of the flash memory caused by the below sequence erases the entire flash
memory, regardless of the settings in the Flash Memory Protection Program Enable n
(FMPPEn) registers. Performing the sequence below does not affect the nonvolatile registers
discussed in “Nonvolatile Register Programming” on page 221.
If software configures any of the JTAG/SWD pins as GPIO and loses the ability to communicate
with the debugger, there is a debug sequence that can be used to recover the device. Performing
a total of ten JTAG-to-SWD and SWD-to-JTAG switch sequences while holding the device in reset
mass erases the flash memory. The sequence to recover the device is:
1. Assert and hold the RST signal.
2. Apply power to the device.
3. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
4. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
5. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
6. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
7. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
8. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
9. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
10. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
June 18, 2012
153
Texas Instruments-Production Data
JTAG Interface
11. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
12. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
13. Release the RST signal.
14. Wait 400 ms.
15. Power-cycle the device.
The JTAG-to-SWD and SWD-to-JTAG switch sequences are described in “ARM Serial Wire Debug
(SWD)” on page 154. When performing switch sequences for the purpose of recovering the debug
capabilities of the device, only steps 1 and 2 of the switch sequence in the section called
“JTAG-to-SWD Switching” on page 154 must be performed.
4.3.4.2
Communication with JTAG/SWD
Because the debug clock and the system clock can be running at different frequencies, care must
be taken to maintain reliable communication with the JTAG/SWD interface. In the Capture-DR state,
the result of the previous transaction, if any, is returned, together with a 3-bit ACK response. Software
should check the ACK response to see if the previous operation has completed before initiating a
new transaction. Alternatively, if the system clock is at least 8 times faster than the debug clock
(TCK or SWCLK), the previous operation has enough time to complete and the ACK bits do not have
to be checked.
4.3.4.3
ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD)
In order to seamlessly integrate the ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD) functionality, a serial-wire
debugger must be able to connect to the Cortex-M3 core without having to perform, or have any
knowledge of, JTAG cycles. This is accomplished with a SWD preamble that is issued before the
SWD session begins.
The switching preamble used to enable the SWD interface of the SWJ-DP module starts with the
TAP controller in the Test-Logic-Reset state. From here, the preamble sequences the TAP controller
through the following states: Run Test Idle, Select DR, Select IR, Test Logic Reset, Test Logic
Reset, Run Test Idle, Run Test Idle, Select DR, Select IR, Test Logic Reset, Test Logic Reset, Run
Test Idle, Run Test Idle, Select DR, Select IR, and Test Logic Reset states.
Stepping through this sequences of the TAP state machine enables the SWD interface and disables
the JTAG interface. For more information on this operation and the SWD interface, see the ARM®
Debug Interface V5 Architecture Specification.
Because this sequence is a valid series of JTAG operations that could be issued, the ARM JTAG
TAP controller is not fully compliant to the IEEE Standard 1149.1. This is the only instance where
the ARM JTAG TAP controller does not meet full compliance with the specification. Due to the low
probability of this sequence occurring during normal operation of the TAP controller, it should not
affect normal performance of the JTAG interface.
JTAG-to-SWD Switching
To switch the operating mode of the Debug Access Port (DAP) from JTAG to SWD mode, the
external debug hardware must send the switching preamble to the device. The 16-bit switch sequence
for switching to SWD mode is defined as b1110011110011110, transmitted LSB first. This can also
be represented as 16'hE79E when transmitted LSB first. The complete switch sequence should
consist of the following transactions on the TCK/SWCLK and TMS/SWDIO signals:
154
June 18, 2012
Texas Instruments-Production Data
®
Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
1. Send at least 50 TCK/SWCLK cycles with TMS/SWDIO set to 1. This ensures that both JTAG and
SWD are in their reset/idle states.
2. Send the 16-bit JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence, 16'hE79E.
3. Send at least 50 TCK/SWCLK cycles with TMS/SWDIO set to 1. This ensures that if SWJ-DP was
already in SWD mode, before sending the switch sequence, the SWD goes into the line reset
state.
SWD-to-JTAG Switching
To switch the operating mode of the Debug Access Port (DAP) from SWD to JTAG mode, the
external debug hardware must send a switch sequence to the device. The 16-bit switch sequence
for switching to JTAG mode is defined as b1110011100111100, transmitted LSB first. This can also
be represented as 16'hE73C when transmitted LSB first. The complete switch sequence should
consist of the following transactions on the TCK/SWCLK and TMS/SWDIO signals:
1. Send at least 50 TCK/SWCLK cycles with TMS/SWDIO set to 1. This ensures that both JTAG and
SWD are in their reset/idle states.
2. Send the 16-bit SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence, 16'hE73C.
3. Send at least 5 TCK/SWCLK cycles with TMS/SWDIO set to 1. This ensures that if SWJ-DP was
already in JTAG mode, before sending the switch sequence, the JTAG goes into the Test Logic
Reset state.
4.4
Initialization and Configuration
After a Power-On-Reset or an external reset (RST), the JTAG pins are automatically configured for
JTAG communication. No user-defined initialization or configuration is needed. However, if the user
application changes these pins to their GPIO function, they must be configured back to their JTAG
functionality before JTAG communication can be restored. This is done by enabling the five JTAG
pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]) for their alternate function using the GPIOAFSEL register. In addition to
enabling the alternate functions, any other changes to the GPIO pad configurations on the five JTAG
pins (PB7 andPC[3:0]) should be reverted to their default settings.
4.5
Register Descriptions
There are no APB-accessible registers in the JTAG TAP Controller or Shift Register chains. The
registers within the JTAG controller are all accessed serially through the TAP Controller. The registers
can be broken down into two main categories: Instruction Registers and Data Registers.
4.5.1
Instruction Register (IR)
The JTAG TAP Instruction Register (IR) is a four-bit serial scan chain connected between the JTAG
TDI and TDO pins with a parallel load register. When the TAP Controller is placed in the correct
states, bits can be shifted into the Instruction Register. Once these bits have been shifted into the
chain and updated, they are interpreted as the current instruction. The decode of the Instruction
Register bits is shown in Table 4-4 on page 156. A detailed explanation of each instruction, along
with its associated Data Register, follows.

All Others
Reserved
Defaults to the BYPASS instruction to ensure that TDI is always connected
to TDO.
EXTEST Instruction
The EXTEST instruction is not associated with its own Data Register chain. The EXTEST instruction
uses the data that has been preloaded into the Boundary Scan Data Register using the
SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction. When the EXTEST instruction is present in the Instruction Register,
the preloaded data in the Boundary Scan Data Register associated with the outputs and output
enables are used to drive the GPIO pads rather than the signals coming from the core. This allows
tests to be developed that drive known values out of the controller, which can be used to verify
connectivity. While the EXTEST instruction is present in the Instruction Register, the Boundary Scan
Data Register can be accessed to sample and shift out the current data and load new data into the
Boundary Scan Data Register.
4.5.1.2
INTEST Instruction
The INTEST instruction is not associated with its own Data Register chain. The INTEST instruction
uses the data that has been preloaded into the Boundary Scan Data Register using the
SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction. When the INTEST instruction is present in the Instruction Register,
the preloaded data in the Boundary Scan Data Register associated with the inputs are used to drive
the signals going into the core rather than the signals coming from the GPIO pads. This allows tests
to be developed that drive known values into the controller, which can be used for testing. It is
important to note that although the RST input pin is on the Boundary Scan Data Register chain, it
is only observable. While the INTEXT instruction is present in the Instruction Register, the Boundary
Scan Data Register can be accessed to sample and shift out the current data and load new data
into the Boundary Scan Data Register.
4.5.1.3
SAMPLE/PRELOAD Instruction
The SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction connects the Boundary Scan Data Register chain between
TDI and TDO. This instruction samples the current state of the pad pins for observation and preloads
new test data. Each GPIO pad has an associated input, output, and output enable signal. When the
TAP controller enters the Capture DR state during this instruction, the input, output, and output-enable
signals to each of the GPIO pads are captured. These samples are serially shifted out of TDO while
the TAP controller is in the Shift DR state and can be used for observation or comparison in various
tests.

Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
While these samples of the inputs, outputs, and output enables are being shifted out of the Boundary
Scan Data Register, new data is being shifted into the Boundary Scan Data Register from TDI.
Once the new data has been shifted into the Boundary Scan Data Register, the data is saved in the
parallel load registers when the TAP controller enters the Update DR state. This update of the
parallel load register preloads data into the Boundary Scan Data Register that is associated with
each input, output, and output enable. This preloaded data can be used with the EXTEST and
INTEST instructions to drive data into or out of the controller. Please see “Boundary Scan Data
Register” on page 158 for more information.
4.5.1.4
ABORT Instruction
The ABORT instruction connects the associated ABORT Data Register chain between TDI and
TDO. This instruction provides read and write access to the ABORT Register of the ARM Debug
Access Port (DAP). Shifting the proper data into this Data Register clears various error bits or initiates
a DAP abort of a previous request. Please see the “ABORT Data Register” on page 159 for more
information.
4.5.1.5
DPACC Instruction
The DPACC instruction connects the associated DPACC Data Register chain between TDI and
TDO. This instruction provides read and write access to the DPACC Register of the ARM Debug
Access Port (DAP). Shifting the proper data into this register and reading the data output from this
register allows read and write access to the ARM debug and status registers. Please see “DPACC
Data Register” on page 159 for more information.
4.5.1.6
APACC Instruction
The APACC instruction connects the associated APACC Data Register chain between TDI and
TDO. This instruction provides read and write access to the APACC Register of the ARM Debug
Access Port (DAP). Shifting the proper data into this register and reading the data output from this
register allows read and write access to internal components and buses through the Debug Port.
Please see “APACC Data Register” on page 159 for more information.
4.5.1.7
IDCODE Instruction
The IDCODE instruction connects the associated IDCODE Data Register chain between TDI and
TDO. This instruction provides information on the manufacturer, part number, and version of the
ARM core. This information can be used by testing equipment and debuggers to automatically
configure their input and output data streams. IDCODE is the default instruction that is loaded into
the JTAG Instruction Register when a Power-On-Reset (POR) is asserted, TRST is asserted, or the
Test-Logic-Reset state is entered. Please see “IDCODE Data Register” on page 158 for more
information.
4.5.1.8
BYPASS Instruction
The BYPASS instruction connects the associated BYPASS Data Register chain between TDI and
TDO. This instruction is used to create a minimum length serial path between the TDI and TDO ports.
The BYPASS Data Register is a single-bit shift register. This instruction improves test efficiency by
allowing components that are not needed for a specific test to be bypassed in the JTAG scan chain
by loading them with the BYPASS instruction. Please see “BYPASS Data Register” on page 158 for
more information.

4.5.2
Data Registers
The JTAG module contains six Data Registers. These include: IDCODE, BYPASS, Boundary Scan,
APACC, DPACC, and ABORT serial Data Register chains. Each of these Data Registers is discussed
in the following sections.
4.5.2.1
IDCODE Data Register
The format for the 32-bit IDCODE Data Register defined by the IEEE Standard 1149.1 is shown in
Figure 4-3 on page 158. The standard requires that every JTAG-compliant device implement either
the IDCODE instruction or the BYPASS instruction as the default instruction. The LSB of the IDCODE
Data Register is defined to be a 1 to distinguish it from the BYPASS instruction, which has an LSB
of 0. This allows auto configuration test tools to determine which instruction is the default instruction.
The major uses of the JTAG port are for manufacturer testing of component assembly, and program
development and debug. To facilitate the use of auto-configuration debug tools, the IDCODE
instruction outputs a value of 0x3BA0.0477. This allows the debuggers to automatically configure
themselves to work correctly with the Cortex-M3 during debug.

Boundary Scan Data Register
The format of the Boundary Scan Data Register is shown in Figure 4-5 on page 159. Each GPIO
pin, starting with a GPIO pin next to the JTAG port pins, is included in the Boundary Scan Data
Register. Each GPIO pin has three associated digital signals that are included in the chain. These
signals are input, output, and output enable, and are arranged in that order as can be seen in the
figure.
When the Boundary Scan Data Register is accessed with the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction, the
input, output, and output enable from each digital pad are sampled and then shifted out of the chain
to be verified. The sampling of these values occurs on the rising edge of TCK in the Capture DR
state of the TAP controller. While the sampled data is being shifted out of the Boundary Scan chain
in the Shift DR state of the TAP controller, new data can be preloaded into the chain for use with

System Control
System control determines the overall operation of the device. It provides information about the
device, controls the clocking to the core and individual peripherals, and handles reset detection and
reporting.
5.1
Signal Description
Table 5-1 on page 160 and Table 5-2 on page 160 list the external signals of the System Control
module and describe the function of each. The NMI signal is the alternate function for and functions
as a GPIO after reset. under commit protection and require a special process to be configured as
any alternate function or to subsequently return to the GPIO function, see “Commit
Control” on page 252. The column in the table below titled "Pin Assignment" lists the GPIO pin
placement for the NMI signal. The AFSEL bit in the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL)
register (page 266) should be set to choose the NMI function. For more information on configuring
GPIOs, see “General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)” on page 244. The remaining signals (with the
word "fixed" in the Pin Assignment column) have a fixed pin assignment and function.

■ System control (Run, Sleep, and Deep-Sleep modes); see “System Control” on page 171
5.2.1
Device Identification
Several read-only registers provide software with information on the microcontroller, such as version,
part number, SRAM size, flash size, and other features. See the DID0, DID1, and DC0-DC4 registers.
5.2.2
Reset Control
This section discusses aspects of hardware functions during reset as well as system software
requirements following the reset sequence.
5.2.2.1
CMOD0 and CMOD1 Test-Mode Control Pins
Two pins, CMOD0 and CMOD1, are defined for internal use for testing the microcontroller during
manufacture. They have no end-user function and should not be used. The CMOD pins should be
connected to ground.
5.2.2.2
Reset Sources
The controller has five sources of reset:
1. External reset input pin (RST) assertion; see “External RST Pin” on page 162.
2. Power-on reset (POR); see “Power-On Reset (POR)” on page 162.
3. Internal brown-out (BOR) detector; see “Brown-Out Reset (BOR)” on page 163.
4. Software-initiated reset (with the software reset registers); see “Software Reset” on page 164.
5. A watchdog timer reset condition violation; see “Watchdog Timer Reset” on page 164.

5.2.2.3
Power-On Reset (POR)
Note:
The power-on reset also resets the JTAG controller. An external reset does not.
The internal Power-On Reset (POR) circuit monitors the power supply voltage (VDD) and generates
a reset signal to all of the internal logic including JTAG when the power supply ramp reaches a
threshold value (VTH). The microcontroller must be operating within the specified operating parameters
when the on-chip power-on reset pulse is complete. The 3.3-V power supply to the microcontroller
must reach 3.0 V within 10 msec of VDD crossing 2.0 V to guarantee proper operation. For applications
that require the use of an external reset signal to hold the microcontroller in reset longer than the
internal POR, the RST input may be used as discussed in “External RST Pin” on page 162.
The Power-On Reset sequence is as follows:
1. The microcontroller waits for internal POR to go inactive.
2. The internal reset is released and the core loads from memory the initial stack pointer, the initial
program counter, and the first instruction designated by the program counter, and then begins
execution.
The internal POR is only active on the initial power-up of the microcontroller. The Power-On Reset
timing is shown in Figure 17-6 on page 526.
5.2.2.4
External RST Pin
Note:
It is recommended that the trace for the RST signal must be kept as short as possible. Be
sure to place any components connected to the RST signal as close to the microcontroller
as possible.
If the application only uses the internal POR circuit, the RST input must be connected to the power
supply (VDD) through an optional pull-up resistor (0 to 100K Ω) as shown in Figure 5-1 on page 162.

The external reset pin (RST) resets the microcontroller including the core and all the on-chip
peripherals except the JTAG TAP controller (see “JTAG Interface” on page 147). The external reset
sequence is as follows:
1. The external reset pin (RST) is asserted for the duration specified by TMIN and then de-asserted
(see “Reset” on page 525).
2. The internal reset is released and the core loads from memory the initial stack pointer, the initial
program counter, and the first instruction designated by the program counter, and then begins
execution.

5.2.2.5
Brown-Out Reset (BOR)
A drop in the input voltage resulting in the assertion of the internal brown-out detector can be used
to reset the controller. This is initially disabled and may be enabled by software.
The system provides a brown-out detection circuit that triggers if the power supply (VDD) drops
below a brown-out threshold voltage (VBTH). If a brown-out condition is detected, the system may
generate a controller interrupt or a system reset.
Brown-out resets are controlled with the Power-On and Brown-Out Reset Control (PBORCTL)
register. The BORIOR bit in the PBORCTL register must be set for a brown-out condition to trigger
a reset.
June 18, 2012
163
Texas Instruments-Production Data
System Control
The brown-out reset is equivalent to an assertion of the external RST input and the reset is held
active until the proper VDD level is restored. The RESC register can be examined in the reset interrupt
handler to determine if a Brown-Out condition was the cause of the reset, thus allowing software to
determine what actions are required to recover.
The internal Brown-Out Reset timing is shown in Figure 17-7 on page 526.
5.2.2.6
Software Reset
Software can reset a specific peripheral or generate a reset to the entire system .
Peripherals can be individually reset by software via three registers that control reset signals to each
peripheral (see the SRCRn registers). If the bit position corresponding to a peripheral is set and
subsequently cleared, the peripheral is reset. The encoding of the reset registers is consistent with
the encoding of the clock gating control for peripherals and on-chip functions (see “System
Control” on page 171). Note that all reset signals for all clocks of the specified unit are asserted as
a result of a software-initiated reset.
The entire system can be reset by software by setting the SYSRESETREQ bit in the Cortex-M3
Application Interrupt and Reset Control register resets the entire system including the core. The
software-initiated system reset sequence is as follows:
1. A software system reset is initiated by writing the SYSRESETREQ bit in the ARM Cortex-M3
Application Interrupt and Reset Control register.
2. An internal reset is asserted.
3. The internal reset is deasserted and the controller loads from memory the initial stack pointer,
the initial program counter, and the first instruction designated by the program counter, and
then begins execution.
The software-initiated system reset timing is shown in Figure 17-8 on page 526.
5.2.2.7
Watchdog Timer Reset
The watchdog timer module's function is to prevent system hangs. The watchdog timer can be
configured to generate an interrupt to the controller on its first time-out, and to generate a reset
signal on its second time-out.
After the first time-out event, the 32-bit counter is reloaded with the value of the Watchdog Timer
Load (WDTLOAD) register, and the timer resumes counting down from that value. If the timer counts
down to its zero state again before the first time-out interrupt is cleared, and the reset signal has
been enabled, the watchdog timer asserts its reset signal to the system. The watchdog timer reset
sequence is as follows:
1. The watchdog timer times out for the second time without being serviced.
2. An internal reset is asserted.
3. The internal reset is released and the controller loads from memory the initial stack pointer, the
initial program counter, the first instruction designated by the program counter, and begins
execution.
The watchdog reset timing is shown in Figure 17-9 on page 527.

Power Control
®
The Stellaris microcontroller provides an integrated LDO regulator that is used to provide power
to the majority of the controller's internal logic. For power reduction, the LDO regulator provides
software a mechanism to adjust the regulated value, in small increments (VSTEP), over the range
of 2.25 V to 2.75 V (inclusive)—or 2.5 V ± 10%. The adjustment is made by changing the value of
the VADJ field in the LDO Power Control (LDOPCTL) register.
Figure 5-4 on page 166 shows the power architecture.
Note:
On the printed circuit board, use the LDO output as the source of VDD25 input. Do not use
an external regulator to supply the voltage to VDD25. In addition, the LDO requires decoupling
capacitors. See “On-Chip Low Drop-Out (LDO) Regulator Characteristics” on page 520.
VDDA must be supplied with 3.3 V, or the microcontroller does not function properly. VDDA
is the supply for all of the analog circuitry on the device, including the LDO and the clock
circuitry.

Clock Control
System control determines the control of clocks in this part.
5.2.4.1
Fundamental Clock Sources
There are multiple clock sources for use in the device:
■ Internal Oscillator (IOSC). The internal oscillator is an on-chip clock source. It does not require
the use of any external components. The frequency of the internal oscillator is 12 MHz ± 30%.
166
June 18, 2012
Texas Instruments-Production Data
®
Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
Applications that do not depend on accurate clock sources may use this clock source to reduce
system cost. The internal oscillator is the clock source the device uses during and following POR.
If the main oscillator is required, software must enable the main oscillator following reset and
allow the main oscillator to stabilize before changing the clock reference.
■ Main Oscillator (MOSC). The main oscillator provides a frequency-accurate clock source by
one of two means: an external single-ended clock source is connected to the OSC0 input pin, or
an external crystal is connected across the OSC0 input and OSC1 output pins. If the PLL is being
used, the crystal value must be one of the supported frequencies between 3.579545 MHz through
8.192 MHz (inclusive). If the PLL is not being used, the crystal may be any one of the supported
frequencies between 1 MHz and 8.192 MHz. The single-ended clock source range is from DC
through the specified speed of the device. The supported crystals are listed in the XTAL bit field
in the RCC register (see page 182).
■ Internal 30-kHz Oscillator. The internal 30-kHz oscillator is similar to the internal oscillator,
except that it provides an operational frequency of 30 kHz ± 50%. It is intended for use during
Deep-Sleep power-saving modes. This power-savings mode benefits from reduced internal
switching and also allows the main oscillator to be powered down.
The internal system clock (SysClk), is derived from any of the above sources plus two others: the
output of the main internal PLL, and the internal oscillator divided by four (3 MHz ± 30%). The
frequency of the PLL clock reference must be in the range of 3.579545 MHz to 8.192 MHz (inclusive).
Table 5-4 on page 167 shows how the various clock sources can be used in a system.

Clock Configuration

registers provide control for the system clock. The RCC2 register is provided to extend fields that
offer additional encodings over the RCC register. When used, the RCC2 register field values are
used by the logic over the corresponding field in the RCC register. In particular, RCC2 provides for
a larger assortment of clock configuration options. These registers control the following clock
functionality:
■ Source of clocks in sleep and deep-sleep modes
■ System clock derived from PLL or other clock source
■ Enabling/disabling of oscillators and PLL
■ Clock divisors
■ Crystal input selection

Note:
The figure above shows all features available on all Stellaris® Fury-class devices. Not all peripherals may be

In the RCC register, the SYSDIV field specifies which divisor is used to generate the system clock
from either the PLL output or the oscillator source (depending on how the BYPASS bit in this register
is configured). When using the PLL, the VCO frequency of 400 MHz is predivided by 2 before the
divisor is applied. Table 5-5 shows how the SYSDIV encoding affects the system clock frequency,
depending on whether the PLL is used (BYPASS=0) or another clock source is used (BYPASS=1).
The divisor is equivalent to the SYSDIV encoding plus 1. For a list of possible clock sources, see
Table 5-4 on page 167.

so that additional larger divisors up to /64 are possible, allowing a lower system clock frequency for
improved Deep Sleep power consumption. When using the PLL, the VCO frequency of 400 MHz is
predivided by 2 before the divisor is applied. The divisor is equivalent to the SYSDIV2 encoding

5.2.4.3
Crystal Configuration for the Main Oscillator (MOSC)
The main oscillator supports the use of a select number of crystals. If the main oscillator is used by
the PLL as a reference clock, the supported range of crystals is 3.579545 to 8.192 MHz, otherwise,
the range of supported crystals is 1 to 8.192 MHz.
The XTAL bit in the RCC register (see page 182) describes the available crystal choices and default
programming values.
Software configures the RCC register XTAL field with the crystal number. If the PLL is used in the
design, the XTAL field value is internally translated to the PLL settings.
5.2.4.4
Main PLL Frequency Configuration
The main PLL is disabled by default during power-on reset and is enabled later by software if
required. Software specifies the output divisor to set the system clock frequency, and enables the
main PLL to drive the output. The PLL operates at 400 MHz, but is divided by two prior to the
application of the output divisor.
If the main oscillator provides the clock reference to the main PLL, the translation provided by
hardware and used to program the PLL is available for software in the XTAL to PLL Translation
(PLLCFG) register (see page 185). The internal translation provides a translation within ± 1% of the
targeted PLL VCO frequency. Table 17-9 on page 523 shows the actual PLL frequency and error for
a given crystal choice.
The Crystal Value field (XTAL) in the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC) register (see page 182)
describes the available crystal choices and default programming of the PLLCFG register. Any time
the XTAL field changes, the new settings are translated and the internal PLL settings are updated.
5.2.4.5
PLL Modes
The PLL has two modes of operation: Normal and Power-Down
■ Normal: The PLL multiplies the input clock reference and drives the output.
■ Power-Down: Most of the PLL internal circuitry is disabled and the PLL does not drive the output.
The modes are programmed using the RCC/RCC2 register fields (see page 182 and page 186).
5.2.4.6
PLL Operation
If a PLL configuration is changed, the PLL output frequency is unstable until it reconverges (relocks)
to the new setting. The time between the configuration change and relock is TREADY (see Table
17-8 on page 522). During the relock time, the affected PLL is not usable as a clock reference.
PLL is changed by one of the following:
■ Change to the XTAL value in the RCC register—writes of the same value do not cause a relock.
170
June 18, 2012
Texas Instruments-Production Data
®
Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
■ Change in the PLL from Power-Down to Normal mode.
A counter is defined to measure the TREADY requirement. The counter is clocked by the main
oscillator. The range of the main oscillator has been taken into account and the down counter is set
to 0x1200 (that is, ~600 μs at an 8.192 MHz external oscillator clock). Hardware is provided to keep
the PLL from being used as a system clock until the TREADY condition is met after one of the two
changes above. It is the user's responsibility to have a stable clock source (like the main oscillator)
before the RCC/RCC2 register is switched to use the PLL.
If the main PLL is enabled and the system clock is switched to use the PLL in one step, the system
control hardware continues to clock the controller from the oscillator selected by the RCC/RCC2
register until the main PLL is stable (TREADY time met), after which it changes to the PLL. Software
can use many methods to ensure that the system is clocked from the main PLL, including periodically
polling the PLLLRIS bit in the Raw Interrupt Status (RIS) register, and enabling the PLL Lock
interrupt.
5.2.5
System Control
For power-savings purposes, the RCGCn , SCGCn , and DCGCn registers control the clock gating
logic for each peripheral or block in the system while the controller is in Run, Sleep, and Deep-Sleep
mode, respectively.
There are four levels of operation for the device defined as:
■ Run Mode. In Run mode, the controller actively executes code. Run mode provides normal
operation of the processor and all of the peripherals that are currently enabled by the RCGCn
registers. The system clock can be any of the available clock sources including the PLL.
■ Sleep Mode. In Sleep mode, the clock frequency of the active peripherals is unchanged, but the
processor and the memory subsystem are not clocked and therefore no longer execute code.
Sleep mode is entered by the Cortex-M3 core executing a WFI(Wait for Interrupt)
instruction. Any properly configured interrupt event in the system will bring the processor back
into Run mode. See “Power Management” on page 78 for more details.
Peripherals are clocked that are enabled in the SCGCn register when auto-clock gating is enabled
(see the RCC register) or the RCGCn register when the auto-clock gating is disabled. The system
clock has the same source and frequency as that during Run mode.
■ Deep-Sleep Mode. In Deep-Sleep mode, the clock frequency of the active peripherals may
change (depending on the Run mode clock configuration) in addition to the processor clock being
stopped. An interrupt returns the device to Run mode from one of the sleep modes; the sleep
modes are entered on request from the code. Deep-Sleep mode is entered by first writing the
Deep Sleep Enable bit in the ARM Cortex-M3 NVIC system control register and then executing
a WFI instruction. Any properly configured interrupt event in the system will bring the processor
back into Run mode. See “Power Management” on page 78 for more details.
The Cortex-M3 processor core and the memory subsystem are not clocked. Peripherals are
clocked that are enabled in the DCGCn register when auto-clock gating is enabled (see the RCC
register) or the RCGCn register when auto-clock gating is disabled. The system clock source is
the main oscillator by default or the internal oscillator specified in the DSLPCLKCFG register if
one is enabled. When the DSLPCLKCFG register is used, the internal oscillator is powered up,
if necessary, and the main oscillator is powered down. If the PLL is running at the time of the
WFI instruction, hardware will power the PLL down and override the SYSDIV field of the active
RCC/RCC2 register, to be determined by the DSDIVORIDE setting in the DSLPCLKCFG register,
up to /16 or /64 respectively. When the Deep-Sleep exit event occurs, hardware brings the system

clock back to the source and frequency it had at the onset of Deep-Sleep mode before enabling
the clocks that had been stopped during the Deep-Sleep duration.
Caution – If the Cortex-M3 Debug Access Port (DAP) has been enabled, and the device wakes from a
low power sleep or deep-sleep mode, the core may start executing code before all clocks to peripherals
have been restored to their run mode configuration. The DAP is usually enabled by software tools
accessing the JTAG or SWD interface when debugging or flash programming. If this condition occurs,
a Hard Fault is triggered when software accesses a peripheral with an invalid clock.
A software delay loop can be used at the beginning of the interrupt routine that is used to wake up a
system from a WFI (Wait For Interrupt) instruction. This stalls the execution of any code that accesses
a peripheral register that might cause a fault. This loop can be removed for production software as the
DAP is most likely not enabled during normal execution.
Because the DAP is disabled by default (power on reset), the user can also power-cycle the device. The
DAP is not enabled unless it is enabled through the JTAG or SWD interface.
5.3
Initialization and Configuration
The PLL is configured using direct register writes to the RCC/RCC2 register. If the RCC2 register
is being used, the USERCC2 bit must be set and the appropriate RCC2 bit/field is used. The steps
required to successfully change the PLL-based system clock are:
1. Bypass the PLL and system clock divider by setting the BYPASS bit and clearing the USESYS
bit in the RCC register. This configures the system to run off a “raw” clock source and allows
for the new PLL configuration to be validated before switching the system clock to the PLL.
2. Select the crystal value (XTAL) and oscillator source (OSCSRC), and clear the PWRDN bit in
RCC/RCC2. Setting the XTAL field automatically pulls valid PLL configuration data for the
appropriate crystal, and clearing the PWRDN bit powers and enables the PLL and its output.
3. Select the desired system divider (SYSDIV) in RCC/RCC2 and set the USESYS bit in RCC. The
SYSDIV field determines the system frequency for the microcontroller.
4. Wait for the PLL to lock by polling the PLLLRIS bit in the Raw Interrupt Status (RIS) register.
5. Enable use of the PLL by clearing the BYPASS bit in RCC/RCC2.

Description
Software should not rely on the value of a reserved bit. To provide
compatibility with future products, the value of a reserved bit should be
preserved across a read-modify-write operation.
Auto Clock Gating
This bit specifies whether the system uses the Sleep-Mode Clock
Gating Control (SCGCn) registers and Deep-Sleep-Mode Clock
Gating Control (DCGCn) registers if the controller enters a Sleep or
Deep-Sleep mode (respectively). If set, the SCGCn or DCGCn registers
are used to control the clocks distributed to the peripherals when the
controller is in a sleep mode. Otherwise, the Run-Mode Clock Gating
Control (RCGCn) registers are used when the controller enters a sleep
mode.
The RCGCn registers are always used to control the clocks in Run
mode.
This allows peripherals to consume less power when the controller is
in a sleep mode and the peripheral is unused.

System Clock Divisor
Specifies which divisor is used to generate the system clock from either
the PLL output or the oscillator source (depending on how the BYPASS
bit in this register is configured). See Table 5-5 on page 169 for bit
encodings.
If the SYSDIV value is less than MINSYSDIV (see page 192), and the
PLL is being used, then the MINSYSDIV value is used as the divisor.
If the PLL is not being used, the SYSDIV value can be less than
MINSYSDIV.

Enable System Clock Divider
Use the system clock divider as the source for the system clock. The
system clock divider is forced to be used when the PLL is selected as
the source.
If the USERCC2 bit in the RCC2 register is set, then the SYSDIV2 field
in the RCC2 register is used as the system clock divider rather than the
SYSDIV field in this register.

Register 18: Run Mode Clock Gating Control Register 0 (RCGC0), offset 0x100
This register controls the clock gating logic. Each bit controls a clock enable for a given interface,
function, or unit. If set, the unit receives a clock and functions. Otherwise, the unit is unclocked and
disabled (saving power). If the unit is unclocked, reads or writes to the unit will generate a bus fault.
The reset state of these bits is 0 (unclocked) unless otherwise noted, so that all functional units are
disabled. It is the responsibility of software to enable the ports necessary for the application. Note
that these registers may contain more bits than there are interfaces, functions, or units to control.
This is to assure reasonable code compatibility with other family and future parts. RCGC0 is the
clock configuration register for running operation, SCGC0 for Sleep operation, and DCGC0 for
Deep-Sleep operation. Setting the ACG bit in the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC) register
specifies that the system uses sleep modes.

Register 21: Run Mode Clock Gating Control Register 1 (RCGC1), offset 0x104
This register controls the clock gating logic. Each bit controls a clock enable for a given interface,
function, or unit. If set, the unit receives a clock and functions. Otherwise, the unit is unclocked and
disabled (saving power). If the unit is unclocked, reads or writes to the unit will generate a bus fault.
The reset state of these bits is 0 (unclocked) unless otherwise noted, so that all functional units are
disabled. It is the responsibility of software to enable the ports necessary for the application. Note
that these registers may contain more bits than there are interfaces, functions, or units to control.
This is to assure reasonable code compatibility with other family and future parts. RCGC1 is the
clock configuration register for running operation, SCGC1 for Sleep operation, and DCGC1 for
Deep-Sleep operation. Setting the ACG bit in the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC) register
specifies that the system uses sleep modes.

Register 26: Deep Sleep Mode Clock Gating Control Register 2 (DCGC2),
offset 0x128
This register controls the clock gating logic. Each bit controls a clock enable for a given interface,
function, or unit. If set, the unit receives a clock and functions. Otherwise, the unit is unclocked and
disabled (saving power). If the unit is unclocked, reads or writes to the unit will generate a bus fault.
The reset state of these bits is 0 (unclocked) unless otherwise noted, so that all functional units are
disabled. It is the responsibility of software to enable the ports necessary for the application. Note
that these registers may contain more bits than there are interfaces, functions, or units to control.
This is to assure reasonable code compatibility with other family and future parts. RCGC2 is the
clock configuration register for running operation, SCGC2 for Sleep operation, and DCGC2 for
Deep-Sleep operation. Setting the ACG bit in the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC) register
specifies that the system uses sleep modes.

Internal Memory
The LM3S6420 microcontroller comes with 32 KB of bit-banded SRAM and 96 KB of flash memory.
The flash controller provides a user-friendly interface, making flash programming a simple task.
Flash protection can be applied to the flash memory on a 2-KB block basis.

Functional Description
This section describes the functionality of the SRAM and Flash memories.
6.2.1
SRAM Memory
®
The internal SRAM of the Stellaris devices is located at address 0x2000.0000 of the device memory
map. To reduce the number of time consuming read-modify-write (RMW) operations, ARM has
introduced bit-banding technology in the Cortex-M3 processor. With a bit-band-enabled processor,
certain regions in the memory map (SRAM and peripheral space) can use address aliases to access
individual bits in a single, atomic operation.
The bit-band alias is calculated by using the formula:
bit-band alias = bit-band base + (byte offset * 32) + (bit number * 4)
For example, if bit 3 at address 0x2000.1000 is to be modified, the bit-band alias is calculated as:
218
June 18, 2012
Texas Instruments-Production Data
®
Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
0x2200.0000 + (0x1000 * 32) + (3 * 4) = 0x2202.000C
With the alias address calculated, an instruction performing a read/write to address 0x2202.000C
allows direct access to only bit 3 of the byte at address 0x2000.1000.
For details about bit-banding, see “Bit-Banding” on page 64.
6.2.2
Flash Memory
The flash is organized as a set of 1-KB blocks that can be individually erased. Erasing a block
causes the entire contents of the block to be reset to all 1s. An individual 32-bit word can be
programmed to change bits that are currently 1 to a 0. These blocks are paired into a set of 2-KB
blocks that can be individually protected. The protection allows blocks to be marked as read-only
or execute-only, providing different levels of code protection. Read-only blocks cannot be erased
or programmed, protecting the contents of those blocks from being modified. Execute-only blocks
cannot be erased or programmed, and can only be read by the controller instruction fetch mechanism,
protecting the contents of those blocks from being read by either the controller or by a debugger.
See also “Serial Flash Loader” on page 533 for a preprogrammed flash-resident utility used to
download code to the flash memory of a device without the use of a debug interface.
6.2.2.1
Flash Memory Timing
The timing for the flash is automatically handled by the flash controller. However, in order to do so,
it must know the clock rate of the system in order to time its internal signals properly. The number
of clock cycles per microsecond must be provided to the flash controller for it to accomplish this
timing. It is software's responsibility to keep the flash controller updated with this information via the
USec Reload (USECRL) register.
On reset, the USECRL register is loaded with a value that configures the flash timing so that it works
with the maximum clock rate of the part. If software changes the system operating frequency, the
new operating frequency minus 1 (in MHz) must be loaded into USECRL before any flash
modifications are attempted. For example, if the device is operating at a speed of 20 MHz, a value
of 0x13 (20-1) must be written to the USECRL register.
6.2.2.2
Flash Memory Protection
The user is provided two forms of flash protection per 2-KB flash blocks in two pairs of 32-bit wide
registers. The protection policy for each form is controlled by individual bits (per policy per block)
in the FMPPEn and FMPREn registers.
■ Flash Memory Protection Program Enable (FMPPEn): If set, the block may be programmed
(written) or erased. If cleared, the block may not be changed.
■ Flash Memory Protection Read Enable (FMPREn): If a bit is set, the corresponding block may
be executed or read by software or debuggers. If a bit is cleared, the corresponding block may
only be executed, and contents of the memory block are prohibited from being read as data.
The policies may be combined as shown in Table 6-1 on page 219.

No protection. The block may be written, erased, executed or read.
A Flash memory access that attempts to read a read-protected block (FMPREn bit is set) is prohibited
and generates a bus fault. A Flash memory access that attempts to program or erase a
program-protected block (FMPPEn bit is set) is prohibited and can optionally generate an interrupt
(by setting the AMASK bit in the Flash Controller Interrupt Mask (FCIM) register) to alert software
developers of poorly behaving software during the development and debug phases.
The factory settings for the FMPREn and FMPPEn registers are a value of 1 for all implemented
banks. These settings create a policy of open access and programmability. The register bits may
be changed by clearing the specific register bit. The changes are not permanent until the register
is committed (saved), at which point the bit change is permanent. If a bit is changed from a 1 to a
0 and not committed, it may be restored by executing a power-on reset sequence. The changes
are committed using the Flash Memory Control (FMC) register. Details on programming these bits
are discussed in “Nonvolatile Register Programming” on page 221.
6.2.2.3
Interrupts
The Flash memory controller can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
■ Programming Interrupt - signals when a program or erase action is complete.
■ Access Interrupt - signals when a program or erase action has been attempted on a 2-kB block
of memory that is protected by its corresponding FMPPEn bit.
The interrupt events that can trigger a controller-level interrupt are defined in the Flash Controller
Masked Interrupt Status (FCMIS) register (see page 229) by setting the corresponding MASK bits.
If interrupts are not used, the raw interrupt status is always visible via the Flash Controller Raw
Interrupt Status (FCRIS) register (see page 228).
Interrupts are always cleared (for both the FCMIS and FCRIS registers) by writing a 1 to the
corresponding bit in the Flash Controller Masked Interrupt Status and Clear (FCMISC) register
(see page 230).
6.3
Flash Memory Initialization and Configuration
6.3.1
Flash Programming
The Stellaris devices provide a user-friendly interface for flash programming. All erase/program
operations are handled via three registers: FMA, FMD, and FMC.
During a Flash memory operation (write, page erase, or mass erase) access to the Flash memory
is inhibited. As a result, instruction and literal fetches are held off until the Flash memory operation
is complete. If instruction execution is required during a Flash memory operation, the code that is
executing must be placed in SRAM and executed from there while the flash operation is in progress.

6.3.1.1
To program a 32-bit word
1. Write source data to the FMD register.
2. Write the target address to the FMA register.
3. Write the flash write key and the WRITE bit (a value of 0xA442.0001) to the FMC register.
4. Poll the FMC register until the WRITE bit is cleared.
6.3.1.2
To perform an erase of a 1-KB page
1. Write the page address to the FMA register.
2. Write the flash write key and the ERASE bit (a value of 0xA442.0002) to the FMC register.
3. Poll the FMC register until the ERASE bit is cleared.
6.3.1.3
To perform a mass erase of the flash
1. Write the flash write key and the MERASE bit (a value of 0xA442.0004) to the FMC register.
2. Poll the FMC register until the MERASE bit is cleared.
6.3.2
Nonvolatile Register Programming
This section discusses how to update registers that are resident within the Flash memory itself.
These registers exist in a separate space from the main Flash memory array and are not affected
by an ERASE or MASS ERASE operation. The bits in these registers can be changed from 1 to 0
with a write operation. Prior to being committed, the register contents are unaffected by any reset
condition except power-on reset, which returns the register contents to the original value. By
committing the register values using the COMT bit in the FMC register, the register contents become
nonvolatile and are therefore retained following power cycling. Once the register contents are
committed, the contents are permanent, and they cannot be restored to their factory default values.
With the exception of the USER_DBG register, the settings in these registers can be tested before
committing them to Flash memory. For the USER_DBG register, the data to be written is loaded
into the FMD register before it is committed. The FMD register is read only and does not allow the
USER_DBG operation to be tried before committing it to nonvolatile memory.
Important: The Flash memory registers can only have bits changed from 1 to 0 by user programming
and can only be committed once. After being committed, these registers cannot be
restored to their factory default values.
In addition, the USER_REG0, USER_REG1, USER_REG2, USER_REG3, and USER_DBG registers
each use bit 31 (NW) to indicate that they have not been committed and bits in the register may be
changed from 1 to 0. These five registers can only be committed once whereas the Flash memory
protection registers may be committed multiple times. Table 6-2 on page 222 provides the FMA
address required for commitment of each of the registers and the source of the data to be written
when the FMC register is written with a value of 0xA442.0008. After writing the COMT bit, the user
may poll the FMC register to wait for the commit operation to complete.

Register 3: Flash Memory Control (FMC), offset 0x008
When this register is written, the flash controller initiates the appropriate access cycle for the location
specified by the Flash Memory Address (FMA) register (see page 224). If the access is a write
access, the data contained in the Flash Memory Data (FMD) register (see page 225) is written.
This is the final register written and initiates the memory operation. There are four control bits in the
lower byte of this register that, when set, initiate the memory operation. The most used of these
register bits are the ERASE and WRITE bits.
It is a programming error to write multiple control bits and the results of such an operation are
unpredictable.

This register is provided as a means of creating a 1-μs tick divider reload value for the flash controller.
The internal flash has specific minimum and maximum requirements on the length of time the high

registers (if any) provide protection for other 64K blocks. This register is loaded during the power-on
reset sequence. The factory settings for the FMPREn and FMPPEn registers are a value of 1 for
all implemented banks. This achieves a policy of open access and programmability. The register
bits may be changed by writing the specific register bit. However, this register is R/W0; the user can
only change the protection bit from a 1 to a 0 (and may NOT change a 0 to a 1). The changes are
not permanent until the register is committed (saved), at which point the bit change is permanent.
If a bit is changed from a 1 to a 0 and not committed, it may be restored by executing a power-on
reset sequence. The reset value shown only applies to power-on reset; any other type of reset does
not affect this register. For additional information, see the "Flash Memory Protection" section.

Register 10: User Debug (USER_DBG), offset 0x1D0
Note:
Offset is relative to System Control base address of 0x400FE000.
This register provides a write-once mechanism to disable external debugger access to the device
in addition to 27 additional bits of user-defined data. The DBG0 bit (bit 0) is set to 0 from the factory
and the DBG1 bit (bit 1) is set to 1, which enables external debuggers. Changing the DBG1 bit to
0 disables any external debugger access to the device permanently, starting with the next power-up
cycle of the device. The NW bit (bit 31) indicates that the register has not yet been committed and
is controlled through hardware to ensure that the register is only committed once. Prior to being
committed, bits can only be changed from 1 to 0. The reset value shown only applies to power-on
reset; any other type of reset does not affect this register. Once committed, this register cannot be
restored to the factory default value.

registers (if any) provide protection for other 64K blocks. This register is loaded during the power-on

only change the protection bit from a 1 to a 0 (and may NOT change a 0 to a 1). The changes are
not permanent until the register is committed (saved), at which point the bit change is permanent.
If a bit is changed from a 1 to a 0 and not committed, it may be restored by executing a power-on
reset sequence. The reset value shown only applies to power-on reset; any other type of reset does
not affect this register. If the Flash memory size on the device is less than 64 KB, this register usually

0x408
Note:
Offset is relative to System Control base address of 0x400FE000.
This register stores the execute-only protection bits for each 2-KB flash block (FMPREn stores the
execute-only bits). This register is loaded during the power-on reset sequence. The factory settings
for the FMPREn and FMPPEn registers are a value of 1 for all implemented banks. This achieves
a policy of open access and programmability. The register bits may be changed by writing the
specific register bit. However, this register is R/W0; the user can only change the protection bit from
a 1 to a 0 (and may NOT change a 0 to a 1). The changes are not permanent until the register is
committed (saved), at which point the bit change is permanent. If a bit is changed from a 1 to a 0
and not committed, it may be restored by executing a power-on reset sequence. For additional
information, see the "Flash Memory Protection" section.

General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)
The GPIO module is composed of seven physical GPIO blocks, each corresponding to an individual
GPIO port (Port A, Port B, Port C, Port D, Port E, Port F, Port G). The GPIO module supports 23-46
programmable input/output pins, depending on the peripherals being used.
The GPIO module has the following features:
■ 23-46 GPIOs, depending on configuration
■ 5-V-tolerant in input configuration
■ Fast toggle capable of a change every two clock cycles
■ Programmable control for GPIO interrupts
– Interrupt generation masking
– Edge-triggered on rising, falling, or both
– Level-sensitive on High or Low values
■ Bit masking in both read and write operations through address lines
■ Pins configured as digital inputs are Schmitt-triggered.
■ Programmable control for GPIO pad configuration
– Weak pull-up or pull-down resistors
– 2-mA, 4-mA, and 8-mA pad drive for digital communication; up to four pads can be configured
with an 18-mA pad drive for high-current applications
– Slew rate control for the 8-mA drive
– Open drain enables
– Digital input enables
7.1
Signal Description
GPIO signals have alternate hardware functions. Table 7-4 on page 247 and Table 7-5 on page 248
list the GPIO pins and the digital alternate functions. Other analog signals are 5-V tolerant and are
connected directly to their circuitry (C0-, C0+, C1-, C1+). These signals are configured by clearing
the DEN bit in the GPIO Digital Enable (GPIODEN) register. The digital alternate hardware functions
are enabled by setting the appropriate bit in the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL)
and GPIODEN registers and configuring the PMCx bit field in the GPIO Port Control (GPIOPCTL)
register to the numeric enoding shown in the table below. Note that each pin must be programmed
individually; no type of grouping is implied by the columns in the table.
Important: All GPIO pins are configured as GPIOs and tri-stated by default (GPIOAFSEL=0,
GPIODEN=0, GPIOPDR=0, GPIOPUR=0, and GPIOPCTL=0, with the exception of the
four JTAG/SWD pins (shown in the table below). A Power-On-Reset (POR) or asserting
RST puts the pins back to their default state.

7.2
Functional Description
Important: All GPIO pins are tri-stated by default (GPIOAFSEL=0, GPIODEN=0, GPIOPDR=0,
and GPIOPUR=0), with the exception of the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]).
The JTAG/SWD pins default to their JTAG/SWD functionality (GPIOAFSEL=1,
GPIODEN=1 and GPIOPUR=1). A Power-On-Reset (POR) or asserting RST puts both
groups of pins back to their default state.
While debugging systems where PB7 is being used as a GPIO, care must be taken to
ensure that a low value is not applied to the pin when the part is reset. Because PB7
reverts to the TRST function after reset, a Low value on the pin causes the JTAG
controller to be reset, resulting in a loss of JTAG communication.
Each GPIO port is a separate hardware instantiation of the same physical block (see Figure
7-1 on page 250). The LM3S6420 microcontroller contains seven ports and thus seven of these
physical GPIO blocks.

7.2.1
Data Control
The data control registers allow software to configure the operational modes of the GPIOs. The data
direction register configures the GPIO as an input or an output while the data register either captures
incoming data or drives it out to the pads.
7.2.1.1
Data Direction Operation
The GPIO Direction (GPIODIR) register (see page 258) is used to configure each individual pin as
an input or output. When the data direction bit is set to 0, the GPIO is configured as an input and
the corresponding data register bit will capture and store the value on the GPIO port. When the data
direction bit is set to 1, the GPIO is configured as an output and the corresponding data register bit
will be driven out on the GPIO port.
7.2.1.2
Data Register Operation
To aid in the efficiency of software, the GPIO ports allow for the modification of individual bits in the
GPIO Data (GPIODATA) register (see page 257) by using bits [9:2] of the address bus as a mask.
This allows software drivers to modify individual GPIO pins in a single instruction, without affecting
the state of the other pins. This is in contrast to the "typical" method of doing a read-modify-write
operation to set or clear an individual GPIO pin. To accommodate this feature, the GPIODATA
register covers 256 locations in the memory map.
During a write, if the address bit associated with that data bit is set to 1, the value of the GPIODATA
register is altered. If it is cleared to 0, it is left unchanged.
For example, writing a value of 0xEB to the address GPIODATA + 0x098 would yield as shown in
Figure 7-2 on page 251, where u is data unchanged by the write.

During a read, if the address bit associated with the data bit is set to 1, the value is read. If the
address bit associated with the data bit is set to 0, it is read as a zero, regardless of its actual value.
For example, reading address GPIODATA + 0x0C4 yields as shown in Figure 7-3 on page 251.

General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)
7.2.2
Interrupt Control
The interrupt capabilities of each GPIO port are controlled by a set of seven registers. With these
registers, it is possible to select the source of the interrupt, its polarity, and the edge properties.
When one or more GPIO inputs cause an interrupt, a single interrupt output is sent to the interrupt
controller for the entire GPIO port. For edge-triggered interrupts, software must clear the interrupt
to enable any further interrupts. For a level-sensitive interrupt, it is assumed that the external source
holds the level constant for the interrupt to be recognized by the controller.
Three registers are required to define the edge or sense that causes interrupts:
■ GPIO Interrupt Sense (GPIOIS) register (see page 259)
■ GPIO Interrupt Both Edges (GPIOIBE) register (see page 260)
■ GPIO Interrupt Event (GPIOIEV) register (see page 261)
Interrupts are enabled/disabled via the GPIO Interrupt Mask (GPIOIM) register (see page 262).
When an interrupt condition occurs, the state of the interrupt signal can be viewed in two locations:
the GPIO Raw Interrupt Status (GPIORIS) and GPIO Masked Interrupt Status (GPIOMIS) registers
(see page 263 and page 264). As the name implies, the GPIOMIS register only shows interrupt
conditions that are allowed to be passed to the controller. The GPIORIS register indicates that a
GPIO pin meets the conditions for an interrupt, but has not necessarily been sent to the controller.
Interrupts are cleared by writing a 1 to the appropriate bit of the GPIO Interrupt Clear (GPIOICR)
register (see page 265).
When programming the following interrupt control registers, the interrupts should be masked (GPIOIM
set to 0). Writing any value to an interrupt control register (GPIOIS, GPIOIBE, or GPIOIEV) can
generate a spurious interrupt if the corresponding bits are enabled.
7.2.3
Mode Control
The GPIO pins can be controlled by either hardware or software. When hardware control is enabled
via the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register (see page 266), the pin state is
controlled by its alternate function (that is, the peripheral). Software control corresponds to GPIO
mode, where the GPIODATA register is used to read/write the corresponding pins.
7.2.4
Commit Control
The GPIO commit control registers provide a layer of protection against accidental programming of
critical hardware peripherals. Protection is currently provided for the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and
PC[3:0]). Writes to protected bits of the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register
(see page 266) are not committed to storage unless the GPIO Lock (GPIOLOCK) register (see
page 276) has been unlocked and the appropriate bits of the GPIO Commit (GPIOCR) register (see
page 277) have been set to 1.
7.2.5
Pad Control
The pad control registers allow for GPIO pad configuration by software based on the application
requirements. The pad control registers include the GPIODR2R, GPIODR4R, GPIODR8R, GPIOODR,
GPIOPUR, GPIOPDR, GPIOSLR, and GPIODEN registers. These registers control drive strength,
open-drain configuration, pull-up and pull-down resistors, slew-rate control and digital enable.
For special high-current applications, the GPIO output buffers may be used with the following
restrictions. With the GPIO pins configured as 8-mA output drivers, a total of four GPIO outputs may
252

Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
be used to sink current loads up to 18 mA each. At 18-mA sink current loading, the VOL value is
specified as 1.2 V. The high-current GPIO package pins must be selected such that there are only
a maximum of two per side of the physical package or BGA pin group with the total number of
high-current GPIO outputs not exceeding four for the entire package.
7.2.6
Identification
The identification registers configured at reset allow software to detect and identify the module as
a GPIO block. The identification registers include the GPIOPeriphID0-GPIOPeriphID7 registers as
well as the GPIOPCellID0-GPIOPCellID3 registers.
7.3
Initialization and Configuration
To use the GPIO, the peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the appropriate GPIO Port bit
field (GPIOn) in the RCGC2 register.
On reset, all GPIO pins (except for the five JTAG pins) are configured out of reset to be undriven
(tristate): GPIOAFSEL=0, GPIODEN=0, GPIOPDR=0, and GPIOPUR=0. Table 7-6 on page 253
shows all possible configurations of the GPIO pads and the control register settings required to
achieve them. Table 7-7 on page 253 shows how a rising edge interrupt would be configured for pin
2 of a GPIO port.

Register Map
Table 7-8 on page 255 lists the GPIO registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the
register’s address, relative to that GPIO port’s base address:
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
GPIO Port A: 0x4000.4000
GPIO Port B: 0x4000.5000
GPIO Port C: 0x4000.6000
GPIO Port D: 0x4000.7000
GPIO Port E: 0x4002.4000
GPIO Port F: 0x4002.5000
GPIO Port G: 0x4002.6000
Note that the GPIO module clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see
page 209). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the GPIO module clock is enabled before
any GPIO module registers are accessed.
Important: The GPIO registers in this chapter are duplicated in each GPIO block; however,
depending on the block, all eight bits may not be connected to a GPIO pad. In those
cases, writing to those unconnected bits has no effect, and reading those unconnected
bits returns no meaningful data.
Note:
The default reset value for the GPIOAFSEL, GPIOPUR, and GPIODEN registers are
0x0000.0000 for all GPIO pins, with the exception of the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and
PC[3:0]). These five pins default to JTAG/SWD functionality. Because of this, the default
reset value of these registers for GPIO Port B is 0x0000.0080 while the default reset value
for Port C is 0x0000.000F.
The default register type for the GPIOCR register is RO for all GPIO pins with the exception
of the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]). These five pins are currently the only
GPIOs that are protected by the GPIOCR register. Because of this, the register type for
GPIO Port B7 and GPIO Port C[3:0] is R/W.
254

The default reset value for the GPIOCR register is 0x0000.00FF for all GPIO pins, with the
exception of the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]). To ensure that the JTAG port
is not accidentally programmed as a GPIO, these five pins default to non-committable.
Because of this, the default reset value of GPIOCR for GPIO Port B is 0x0000.007F while
the default reset value of GPIOCR for Port C is 0x0000.00F0.

Register 1: GPIO Data (GPIODATA), offset 0x000
The GPIODATA register is the data register. In software control mode, values written in the
GPIODATA register are transferred onto the GPIO port pins if the respective pins have been
configured as outputs through the GPIO Direction (GPIODIR) register (see page 258).
In order to write to GPIODATA, the corresponding bits in the mask, resulting from the address bus
bits [9:2], must be High. Otherwise, the bit values remain unchanged by the write.
Similarly, the values read from this register are determined for each bit by the mask bit derived from
the address used to access the data register, bits [9:2]. Bits that are 1 in the address mask cause
the corresponding bits in GPIODATA to be read, and bits that are 0 in the address mask cause the
corresponding bits in GPIODATA to be read as 0, regardless of their value.
A read from GPIODATA returns the last bit value written if the respective pins are configured as
outputs, or it returns the value on the corresponding input pin when these are configured as inputs.
All bits are cleared by a reset.

GPIO Data
This register is virtually mapped to 256 locations in the address space.
To facilitate the reading and writing of data to these registers by
independent drivers, the data read from and the data written to the
registers are masked by the eight address lines ipaddr[9:2]. Reads
from this register return its current state. Writes to this register only affect
bits that are not masked by ipaddr[9:2] and are configured as
outputs. See “Data Register Operation” on page 251 for examples of
reads and writes.

The GPIOIEV register is the interrupt event register. Bits set to High in GPIOIEV configure the
corresponding pin to detect rising edges or high levels, depending on the corresponding bit value
in the GPIO Interrupt Sense (GPIOIS) register (see page 259). Clearing a bit configures the pin to
detect falling edges or low levels, depending on the corresponding bit value in GPIOIS. All bits are
cleared by a reset.

General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)
Register 10: GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL), offset 0x420
The GPIOAFSEL register is the mode control select register. Writing a 1 to any bit in this register
selects the hardware control for the corresponding GPIO line. All bits are cleared by a reset, therefore
no GPIO line is set to hardware control by default.
The GPIO commit control registers provide a layer of protection against accidental programming of
critical hardware peripherals. Protection is currently provided for the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and
PC[3:0]). Writes to protected bits of the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register
(see page 266) are not committed to storage unless the GPIO Lock (GPIOLOCK) register (see
page 276) has been unlocked and the appropriate bits of the GPIO Commit (GPIOCR) register (see
page 277) have been set to 1.
Important: All GPIO pins are tri-stated by default (GPIOAFSEL=0, GPIODEN=0, GPIOPDR=0,
and GPIOPUR=0), with the exception of the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]).
The JTAG/SWD pins default to their JTAG/SWD functionality (GPIOAFSEL=1,
GPIODEN=1 and GPIOPUR=1). A Power-On-Reset (POR) or asserting RST puts both
groups of pins back to their default state.
While debugging systems where PB7 is being used as a GPIO, care must be taken to
ensure that a low value is not applied to the pin when the part is reset. Because PB7
reverts to the TRST function after reset, a Low value on the pin causes the JTAG
controller to be reset, resulting in a loss of JTAG communication.
Caution – It is possible to create a software sequence that prevents the debugger from connecting to
the Stellaris® microcontroller. If the program code loaded into flash immediately changes the JTAG
pins to their GPIO functionality, the debugger may not have enough time to connect and halt the
controller before the JTAG pin functionality switches. This may lock the debugger out of the part. This
can be avoided with a software routine that restores JTAG functionality based on an external or software
trigger.

signal, the corresponding DRV2 bit in the GPIODR2R register and the DRV4 bit in the GPIODR4R
register are automatically cleared by hardware.

Register 14: GPIO Open Drain Select (GPIOODR), offset 0x50C
The GPIOODR register is the open drain control register. Setting a bit in this register enables the
open drain configuration of the corresponding GPIO pad. When open drain mode is enabled, the
corresponding bit should also be set in the GPIO Digital Enable (GPIODEN) register (see page 275).
Corresponding bits in the drive strength registers (GPIODR2R, GPIODR4R, GPIODR8R, and
GPIOSLR ) can be set to achieve the desired rise and fall times. The GPIO acts as an open-drain
input if the corresponding bit in the GPIODIR register is cleared. If open drain is selected while the
GPIO is configured as an input, the GPIO will remain an input and the open-drain selection has no
effect until the GPIO is changed to an output.

the lock status rather than the 32-bit value that was previously written. Therefore, when write accesses
are disabled, or locked, reading the GPIOLOCK register returns 0x00000001. When write accesses

Register 20: GPIO Commit (GPIOCR), offset 0x524
The GPIOCR register is the commit register. The value of the GPIOCR register determines which
bits of the GPIOAFSEL register are committed when a write to the GPIOAFSEL register is performed.
If a bit in the GPIOCR register is a zero, the data being written to the corresponding bit in the
GPIOAFSEL register will not be committed and will retain its previous value. If a bit in the GPIOCR
register is a one, the data being written to the corresponding bit of the GPIOAFSEL register will be
committed to the register and will reflect the new value.
The contents of the GPIOCR register can only be modified if the GPIOLOCK register is unlocked.
Writes to the GPIOCR register are ignored if the GPIOLOCK register is locked.
Important: This register is designed to prevent accidental programming of the registers that control
connectivity to the JTAG/SWD debug hardware. By initializing the bits of the GPIOCR
register to 0 for PB7 and PC[3:0], the JTAG/SWD debug port can only be converted
to GPIOs through a deliberate set of writes to the GPIOLOCK, GPIOCR, and the
corresponding registers.
Because this protection is currently only implemented on the JTAG/SWD pins on PB7
and PC[3:0], all of the other bits in the GPIOCR registers cannot be written with 0x0.
These bits are hardwired to 0x1, ensuring that it is always possible to commit new
values to the GPIOAFSELregister bits of these other pins.

GPIO Commit
On a bit-wise basis, any bit set allows the corresponding GPIOAFSEL
bit to be set to its alternate function.
Note:
The default register type for the GPIOCR register is RO for
all GPIO pins with the exception of the five JTAG/SWD pins
(PB7 and PC[3:0]). These five pins are currently the only
GPIOs that are protected by the GPIOCR register. Because
of this, the register type for GPIO Port B7 and GPIO Port
C[3:0] is R/W.
The default reset value for the GPIOCR register is
0x0000.00FF for all GPIO pins, with the exception of the five
JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]). To ensure that the
JTAG port is not accidentally programmed as a GPIO, these
five pins default to non-committable. Because of this, the
default reset value of GPIOCR for GPIO Port B is
0x0000.007F while the default reset value of GPIOCR for Port
C is 0x0000.00F0.

General-Purpose Timers
Programmable timers can be used to count or time external events that drive the Timer input pins.
®
The Stellaris General-Purpose Timer Module (GPTM) contains three GPTM blocks (Timer0, Timer1,
and Timer 2). Each GPTM block provides two 16-bit timers/counters (referred to as TimerA and
TimerB) that can be configured to operate independently as timers or event counters, or configured
to operate as one 32-bit timer or one 32-bit Real-Time Clock (RTC).
The GPT Module is one timing resource available on the Stellaris microcontrollers. Other timer
resources include the System Timer (SysTick) (see 83).
The General-Purpose Timers provide the following features:
■ Three General-Purpose Timer Modules (GPTM), each of which provides two 16-bit
timers/counters. Each GPTM can be configured to operate independently:
– As a single 32-bit timer
– As one 32-bit Real-Time Clock (RTC) to event capture
– For Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
■ 32-bit Timer modes
– Programmable one-shot timer
– Programmable periodic timer
– Real-Time Clock when using an external 32.768-KHz clock as the input
– User-enabled stalling when the controller asserts CPU Halt flag during debug
■ 16-bit Timer modes
– General-purpose timer function with an 8-bit prescaler (for one-shot and periodic modes only)
– Programmable one-shot timer

and describe the function of each. The GP Timer signals are alternate functions for some GPIO
signals and default to be GPIO signals at reset. The column in the table below titled "Pin Assignment"
lists the possible GPIO pin placements for these GP Timer signals. The AFSEL bit in the GPIO
Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register (page 266) should be set to choose the GP Timer
function. For more information on configuring GPIOs, see “General-Purpose Input/Outputs

Functional Description
The main components of each GPTM block are two free-running 16-bit up/down counters (referred
to as TimerA and TimerB), two 16-bit match registers, two prescaler match registers, and two 16-bit
load/initialization registers and their associated control functions. The exact functionality of each
GPTM is controlled by software and configured through the register interface.
Software configures the GPTM using the GPTM Configuration (GPTMCFG) register (see page 303),
the GPTM TimerA Mode (GPTMTAMR) register (see page 304), and the GPTM TimerB Mode
(GPTMTBMR) register (see page 306). When in one of the 32-bit modes, the timer can only act as
a 32-bit timer. However, when configured in 16-bit mode, the GPTM can have its two 16-bit timers
configured in any combination of the 16-bit modes.
8.3.1
GPTM Reset Conditions
After reset has been applied to the GPTM module, the module is in an inactive state, and all control
registers are cleared and in their default states. Counters TimerA and TimerB are initialized to
0xFFFF, along with their corresponding load registers: the GPTM TimerA Interval Load
(GPTMTAILR) register (see page 317) and the GPTM TimerB Interval Load (GPTMTBILR) register
(see page 318). The prescale counters are initialized to 0x00: the GPTM TimerA Prescale
(GPTMTAPR) register (see page 321) and the GPTM TimerB Prescale (GPTMTBPR) register (see
page 322).
8.3.2
32-Bit Timer Operating Modes
This section describes the three GPTM 32-bit timer modes (One-Shot, Periodic, and RTC) and their
configuration.
The GPTM is placed into 32-bit mode by writing a 0 (One-Shot/Periodic 32-bit timer mode) or a 1
(RTC mode) to the GPTM Configuration (GPTMCFG) register. In both configurations, certain GPTM
registers are concatenated to form pseudo 32-bit registers. These registers include:
■ GPTM TimerA Interval Load (GPTMTAILR) register [15:0], see page 317
■ GPTM TimerB Interval Load (GPTMTBILR) register [15:0], see page 318
■ GPTM TimerA (GPTMTAR) register [15:0], see page 325
■ GPTM TimerB (GPTMTBR) register [15:0], see page 326
June 18, 2012
293
Texas Instruments-Production Data
General-Purpose Timers
In the 32-bit modes, the GPTM translates a 32-bit write access to GPTMTAILR into a write access
to both GPTMTAILR and GPTMTBILR. The resulting word ordering for such a write operation is:
GPTMTBILR[15:0]:GPTMTAILR[15:0]
Likewise, a read access to GPTMTAR returns the value:
GPTMTBR[15:0]:GPTMTAR[15:0]
8.3.2.1
32-Bit One-Shot/Periodic Timer Mode
In 32-bit one-shot and periodic timer modes, the concatenated versions of the TimerA and TimerB
registers are configured as a 32-bit down-counter. The selection of one-shot or periodic mode is
determined by the value written to the TAMR field of the GPTM TimerA Mode (GPTMTAMR) register
(see page 304), and there is no need to write to the GPTM TimerB Mode (GPTMTBMR) register.
When software writes the TAEN bit in the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register (see page 308), the
timer begins counting down from its preloaded value. Once the 0x0000.0000 state is reached, the
timer reloads its start value from the concatenated GPTMTAILR on the next cycle. If configured to
be a one-shot timer, the timer stops counting and clears the TAEN bit in the GPTMCTL register. If
configured as a periodic timer, it continues counting.
In addition to reloading the count value, the GPTM generates interrupts and triggers when it reaches
the 0x000.0000 state. The GPTM sets the TATORIS bit in the GPTM Raw Interrupt Status
(GPTMRIS) register (see page 313), and holds it until it is cleared by writing the GPTM Interrupt
Clear (GPTMICR) register (see page 315). If the time-out interrupt is enabled in the GPTM Interrupt
Mask (GPTMIMR) register (see page 311), the GPTM also sets the TATOMIS bit in the GPTM Masked
Interrupt Status (GPTMMIS) register (see page 314).
If software reloads the GPTMTAILR register while the counter is running, the counter loads the new
value on the next clock cycle and continues counting from the new value.
If the TASTALL bit in the GPTMCTL register is set, the timer freezes counting while the processor
is halted by the debugger. The timer resumes counting when the processor resumes execution.
8.3.2.2
32-Bit Real-Time Clock Timer Mode
In Real-Time Clock (RTC) mode, the concatenated versions of the TimerA and TimerB registers
are configured as a 32-bit up-counter. When RTC mode is selected for the first time, the counter is
loaded with a value of 0x0000.0001. All subsequent load values must be written to the GPTM TimerA
Match (GPTMTAMATCHR) register (see page 319) by the controller.
The input clock on an even CCP input is required to be 32.768 KHz in RTC mode. The clock signal
is then divided down to a 1 Hz rate and is passed along to the input of the 32-bit counter.
When software writes the TAEN bit inthe GPTMCTL register, the counter starts counting up from its
preloaded value of 0x0000.0001. When the current count value matches the preloaded value in the
GPTMTAMATCHR register, it rolls over to a value of 0x0000.0000 and continues counting until
either a hardware reset, or it is disabled by software (clearing the TAEN bit). When a match occurs,
the GPTM asserts the RTCRIS bit in GPTMRIS. If the RTC interrupt is enabled in GPTMIMR, the
GPTM also sets the RTCMIS bit in GPTMMIS and generates a controller interrupt. The status flags
are cleared by writing the RTCCINT bit in GPTMICR.
If the TASTALL and/or TBSTALL bits in the GPTMCTL register are set, the timer does not freeze if
the RTCEN bit is set in GPTMCTL.

8.3.3
16-Bit Timer Operating Modes
The GPTM is placed into global 16-bit mode by writing a value of 0x4 to the GPTM Configuration
(GPTMCFG) register (see page 303). This section describes each of the GPTM 16-bit modes of
operation. TimerA and TimerB have identical modes, so a single description is given using an n to
reference both.
8.3.3.1
16-Bit One-Shot/Periodic Timer Mode
In 16-bit one-shot and periodic timer modes, the timer is configured as a 16-bit down-counter with
an optional 8-bit prescaler that effectively extends the counting range of the timer to 24 bits. The
selection of one-shot or periodic mode is determined by the value written to the TnMR field of the
GPTMTnMR register. The optional prescaler is loaded into the GPTM Timern Prescale (GPTMTnPR)
register.
When software writes the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register, the timer begins counting down from
its preloaded value. Once the 0x0000 state is reached, the timer reloads its start value from
GPTMTnILR and GPTMTnPR on the next cycle. If configured to be a one-shot timer, the timer stops
counting and clears the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register. If configured as a periodic timer, it
continues counting.
In addition to reloading the count value, the timer generates interrupts and triggers when it reaches
the 0x0000 state. The GPTM sets the TnTORIS bit in the GPTMRIS register, and holds it until it is
cleared by writing the GPTMICR register. If the time-out interrupt is enabled in GPTMIMR, the GPTM
also sets the TnTOMIS bit in GPTMISR and generates a controller interrupt.
If software reloads the GPTMTAILR register while the counter is running, the counter loads the new
value on the next clock cycle and continues counting from the new value.
If the TnSTALL bit in the GPTMCTL register is set, the timer freezes counting while the processor
is halted by the debugger. The timer resumes counting when the processor resumes execution.
The following example shows a variety of configurations for a 16-bit free running timer while using
the prescaler. All values assume a 25-MHz clock with Tc=20 ns (clock period).

16-Bit Input Edge Count Mode
Note:
For rising-edge detection, the input signal must be High for at least two system clock periods
following the rising edge. Similarly, for falling-edge detection, the input signal must be Low
for at least two system clock periods following the falling edge. Based on this criteria, the
maximum input frequency for edge detection is 1/4 of the system frequency.
Note:
The prescaler is not available in 16-Bit Input Edge Count mode.
June 18, 2012
295
Texas Instruments-Production Data
General-Purpose Timers
In Edge Count mode, the timer is configured as a down-counter capable of capturing three types
of events: rising edge, falling edge, or both. To place the timer in Edge Count mode, the TnCMR bit
of the GPTMTnMR register must be set to 0. The type of edge that the timer counts is determined
by the TnEVENT fields of the GPTMCTL register. During initialization, the GPTM Timern Match
(GPTMTnMATCHR) register is configured so that the difference between the value in the
GPTMTnILR register and the GPTMTnMATCHR register equals the number of edge events that
must be counted.
When software writes the TnEN bit in the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register, the timer is enabled
for event capture. Each input event on the CCP pin decrements the counter by 1 until the event count
matches GPTMTnMATCHR. When the counts match, the GPTM asserts the CnMRIS bit in the
GPTMRIS register (and the CnMMIS bit, if the interrupt is not masked).
The counter is then reloaded using the value in GPTMTnILR, and stopped since the GPTM
automatically clears the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register. Once the event count has been reached,
all further events are ignored until TnEN is re-enabled by software.
Figure 8-2 on page 296 shows how input edge count mode works. In this case, the timer start value
is set to GPTMTnILR =0x000A and the match value is set to GPTMTnMATCHR =0x0006 so that
four edge events are counted. The counter is configured to detect both edges of the input signal.
Note that the last two edges are not counted since the timer automatically clears the TnEN bit after
the current count matches the value in the GPTMTnMATCHR register.

Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
In Edge Time mode, the timer is configured as a free-running down-counter initialized to the value
loaded in the GPTMTnILR register (or 0xFFFF at reset). The timer is capable of capturing three
types of events: rising edge, falling edge, or both. The timer is placed into Edge Time mode by
setting the TnCMR bit in the GPTMTnMR register, and the type of event that the timer captures is
determined by the TnEVENT fields of the GPTMCTL register.
When software writes the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register, the timer is enabled for event capture.
When the selected input event is detected, the current Tn counter value is captured in the GPTMTnR
register and is available to be read by the controller. The GPTM then asserts the CnERIS bit (and
the CnEMIS bit, if the interrupt is not masked).
After an event has been captured, the timer does not stop counting. It continues to count until the
TnEN bit is cleared. When the timer reaches the 0x0000 state, it is reloaded with the value from the
GPTMTnILR register.
Figure 8-3 on page 297 shows how input edge timing mode works. In the diagram, it is assumed that
the start value of the timer is the default value of 0xFFFF, and the timer is configured to capture
rising edge events.
Each time a rising edge event is detected, the current count value is loaded into the GPTMTnR
register, and is held there until another rising edge is detected (at which point the new count value
is loaded into GPTMTnR).

16-Bit PWM Mode
Note:
The prescaler is not available in 16-Bit PWM mode.
The GPTM supports a simple PWM generation mode. In PWM mode, the timer is configured as a
down-counter with a start value (and thus period) defined by GPTMTnILR. In this mode, the PWM
frequency and period are synchronous events and therefore guaranteed to be glitch free. PWM
mode is enabled with the GPTMTnMR register by setting the TnAMS bit to 0x1, the TnCMR bit to
0x0, and the TnMR field to 0x2.
When software writes the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register, the counter begins counting down
until it reaches the 0x0000 state. On the next counter cycle, the counter reloads its start value from

Texas Instruments-Production Data
General-Purpose Timers
GPTMTnILR and continues counting until disabled by software clearing the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL
register. No interrupts or status bits are asserted in PWM mode.
The output PWM signal asserts when the counter is at the value of the GPTMTnILR register (its
start state), and is deasserted when the counter value equals the value in the GPTM Timern Match
Register (GPTMTnMATCHR). Software has the capability of inverting the output PWM signal by
setting the TnPWML bit in the GPTMCTL register.
Figure 8-4 on page 298 shows how to generate an output PWM with a 1-ms period and a 66% duty
cycle assuming a 50-MHz input clock and TnPWML =0 (duty cycle would be 33% for the TnPWML
=1 configuration). For this example, the start value is GPTMTnIRL=0xC350 and the match value is
GPTMTnMATCHR=0x411A.

Initialization and Configuration
To use the general-purpose timers, the peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the TIMER0,
TIMER1, and TIMER2 bits in the RCGC1 register.
This section shows module initialization and configuration examples for each of the supported timer
modes.
8.4.1
32-Bit One-Shot/Periodic Timer Mode
The GPTM is configured for 32-bit One-Shot and Periodic modes by the following sequence:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TAEN bit in the GPTMCTL register is cleared) before making
any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration Register (GPTMCFG) with a value of 0x0.
298
June 18, 2012
Texas Instruments-Production Data
®
Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
3. Set the TAMR field in the GPTM TimerA Mode Register (GPTMTAMR):
a. Write a value of 0x1 for One-Shot mode.
b. Write a value of 0x2 for Periodic mode.
4. Load the start value into the GPTM TimerA Interval Load Register (GPTMTAILR).
5. If interrupts are required, set the TATOIM bit in the GPTM Interrupt Mask Register (GPTMIMR).
6. Set the TAEN bit in the GPTMCTL register to enable the timer and start counting.
7. Poll the TATORIS bit in the GPTMRIS register or wait for the interrupt to be generated (if enabled).
In both cases, the status flags are cleared by writing a 1 to the TATOCINT bit of the GPTM
Interrupt Clear Register (GPTMICR).
In One-Shot mode, the timer stops counting after step 7 on page 299. To re-enable the timer, repeat
the sequence. A timer configured in Periodic mode does not stop counting after it times out.
8.4.2
32-Bit Real-Time Clock (RTC) Mode
To use the RTC mode, the timer must have a 32.768-KHz input signal on an even CCP input. To
enable the RTC feature, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TAEN bit is cleared) before making any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration Register (GPTMCFG) with a value of 0x1.
3. Write the desired match value to the GPTM TimerA Match Register (GPTMTAMATCHR).
4. Set/clear the RTCEN bit in the GPTM Control Register (GPTMCTL) as desired.
5. If interrupts are required, set the RTCIM bit in the GPTM Interrupt Mask Register (GPTMIMR).
6. Set the TAEN bit in the GPTMCTL register to enable the timer and start counting.
When the timer count equals the value in the GPTMTAMATCHR register, the GPTM asserts the
RTCRIS bit in the GPTMRIS register and continues counting until Timer A is disabled or a hardware
reset. The interrupt is cleared by writing the RTCCINT bit in the GPTMICR register.
8.4.3
16-Bit One-Shot/Periodic Timer Mode
A timer is configured for 16-bit One-Shot and Periodic modes by the following sequence:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TnEN bit is cleared) before making any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration Register (GPTMCFG) with a value of 0x4.
3. Set the TnMR field in the GPTM Timer Mode (GPTMTnMR) register:
a. Write a value of 0x1 for One-Shot mode.
b. Write a value of 0x2 for Periodic mode.
4. If a prescaler is to be used, write the prescale value to the GPTM Timern Prescale Register
(GPTMTnPR).

5. Load the start value into the GPTM Timer Interval Load Register (GPTMTnILR).
6. If interrupts are required, set the TnTOIM bit in the GPTM Interrupt Mask Register (GPTMIMR).
7. Set the TnEN bit in the GPTM Control Register (GPTMCTL) to enable the timer and start
counting.
8. Poll the TnTORIS bit in the GPTMRIS register or wait for the interrupt to be generated (if enabled).
In both cases, the status flags are cleared by writing a 1 to the TnTOCINT bit of the GPTM
Interrupt Clear Register (GPTMICR).
In One-Shot mode, the timer stops counting after step 8 on page 300. To re-enable the timer, repeat
the sequence. A timer configured in Periodic mode does not stop counting after it times out.
8.4.4
16-Bit Input Edge Count Mode
A timer is configured to Input Edge Count mode by the following sequence:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TnEN bit is cleared) before making any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration (GPTMCFG) register with a value of 0x4.
3. In the GPTM Timer Mode (GPTMTnMR) register, write the TnCMR field to 0x0 and the TnMR
field to 0x3.
4. Configure the type of event(s) that the timer captures by writing the TnEVENT field of the GPTM
Control (GPTMCTL) register.
5. Load the timer start value into the GPTM Timern Interval Load (GPTMTnILR) register.
6. Load the desired event count into the GPTM Timern Match (GPTMTnMATCHR) register.
7. If interrupts are required, set the CnMIM bit in the GPTM Interrupt Mask (GPTMIMR) register.
8. Set the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register to enable the timer and begin waiting for edge events.
9. Poll the CnMRIS bit in the GPTMRIS register or wait for the interrupt to be generated (if enabled).
In both cases, the status flags are cleared by writing a 1 to the CnMCINT bit of the GPTM
Interrupt Clear (GPTMICR) register.
In Input Edge Count Mode, the timer stops after the desired number of edge events has been
detected. To re-enable the timer, ensure that the TnEN bit is cleared and repeat step 4 on page 300
through step 9 on page 300.
8.4.5
16-Bit Input Edge Timing Mode
A timer is configured to Input Edge Timing mode by the following sequence:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TnEN bit is cleared) before making any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration (GPTMCFG) register with a value of 0x4.
3. In the GPTM Timer Mode (GPTMTnMR) register, write the TnCMR field to 0x1 and the TnMR
field to 0x3.

4. Configure the type of event that the timer captures by writing the TnEVENT field of the GPTM
Control (GPTMCTL) register.
5. Load the timer start value into the GPTM Timern Interval Load (GPTMTnILR) register.
6. If interrupts are required, set the CnEIM bit in the GPTM Interrupt Mask (GPTMIMR) register.
7. Set the TnEN bit in the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register to enable the timer and start counting.
8. Poll the CnERIS bit in the GPTMRIS register or wait for the interrupt to be generated (if enabled).
In both cases, the status flags are cleared by writing a 1 to the CnECINT bit of the GPTM
Interrupt Clear (GPTMICR) register. The time at which the event happened can be obtained
by reading the GPTM Timern (GPTMTnR) register.
In Input Edge Timing mode, the timer continues running after an edge event has been detected,
but the timer interval can be changed at any time by writing the GPTMTnILR register. The change
takes effect at the next cycle after the write.
8.4.6
16-Bit PWM Mode
A timer is configured to PWM mode using the following sequence:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TnEN bit is cleared) before making any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration (GPTMCFG) register with a value of 0x4.
3. In the GPTM Timer Mode (GPTMTnMR) register, set the TnAMS bit to 0x1, the TnCMR bit to
0x0, and the TnMR field to 0x2.
4. Configure the output state of the PWM signal (whether or not it is inverted) in the TnPWML field
of the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register.
5. Load the timer start value into the GPTM Timern Interval Load (GPTMTnILR) register.
6. Load the GPTM Timern Match (GPTMTnMATCHR) register with the desired value.
7. Set the TnEN bit in the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register to enable the timer and begin
generation of the output PWM signal.
In PWM Timing mode, the timer continues running after the PWM signal has been generated. The
PWM period can be adjusted at any time by writing the GPTMTnILR register, and the change takes
effect at the next cycle after the write.

Register Map
Table 8-5 on page 302 lists the GPTM registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the
register’s address, relative to that timer’s base address:
■ Timer0: 0x4003.0000
■ Timer1: 0x4003.1000
■ Timer2: 0x4003.2000
Note that the Timer module clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see
page 203). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the Timer module clock is enabled before
any Timer module registers are accessed.

Watchdog Timer
A watchdog timer can generate nonmaskable interrupts (NMIs) or a reset when a time-out value is
reached. The watchdog timer is used to regain control when a system has failed due to a software
error or due to the failure of an external device to respond in the expected way.
®
The Stellaris Watchdog Timer module has the following features:
■ 32-bit down counter with a programmable load register
■ Separate watchdog clock with an enable
■ Programmable interrupt generation logic with interrupt masking
■ Lock register protection from runaway software
■ Reset generation logic with an enable/disable
■ User-enabled stalling when the controller asserts the CPU Halt flag during debug
The Watchdog Timer can be configured to generate an interrupt to the controller on its first time-out,
and to generate a reset signal on its second time-out. Once the Watchdog Timer has been configured,
the lock register can be written to prevent the timer configuration from being inadvertently altered.

Functional Description
The Watchdog Timer module generates the first time-out signal when the 32-bit counter reaches
the zero state after being enabled; enabling the counter also enables the watchdog timer interrupt.
After the first time-out event, the 32-bit counter is re-loaded with the value of the Watchdog Timer
Load (WDTLOAD) register, and the timer resumes counting down from that value. Once the
Watchdog Timer has been configured, the Watchdog Timer Lock (WDTLOCK) register is written,
which prevents the timer configuration from being inadvertently altered by software.
If the timer counts down to its zero state again before the first time-out interrupt is cleared, and the
reset signal has been enabled (via the WatchdogResetEnable function), the Watchdog timer
asserts its reset signal to the system. If the interrupt is cleared before the 32-bit counter reaches its
second time-out, the 32-bit counter is loaded with the value in the WDTLOAD register, and counting
resumes from that value.
If WDTLOAD is written with a new value while the Watchdog Timer counter is counting, then the
counter is loaded with the new value and continues counting.
328
June 18, 2012
Texas Instruments-Production Data
®
Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
Writing to WDTLOAD does not clear an active interrupt. An interrupt must be specifically cleared
by writing to the Watchdog Interrupt Clear (WDTICR) register.
The Watchdog module interrupt and reset generation can be enabled or disabled as required. When
the interrupt is re-enabled, the 32-bit counter is preloaded with the load register value and not its
last state.
9.3
Initialization and Configuration
To use the WDT, its peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the WDT bit in the RCGC0 register.
The Watchdog Timer is configured using the following sequence:
1. Load the WDTLOAD register with the desired timer load value.
2. If the Watchdog is configured to trigger system resets, set the RESEN bit in the WDTCTL register.
3. Set the INTEN bit in the WDTCTL register to enable the Watchdog and lock the control register.
If software requires that all of the watchdog registers are locked, the Watchdog Timer module can
be fully locked by writing any value to the WDTLOCK register. To unlock the Watchdog Timer, write
a value of 0x1ACC.E551.
9.4
Register Map
Table 9-1 on page 329 lists the Watchdog registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to

Register 8: Watchdog Lock (WDTLOCK), offset 0xC00
Writing 0x1ACC.E551 to the WDTLOCK register enables write access to all other registers. Writing
any other value to the WDTLOCK register re-enables the locked state for register writes to all the
other registers. Reading the WDTLOCK register returns the lock status rather than the 32-bit value
written. Therefore, when write accesses are disabled, reading the WDTLOCK register returns
0x0000.0001 (when locked; otherwise, the returned value is 0x0000.0000 (unlocked)).

Signal Description
Table 10-1 on page 352 and Table 10-2 on page 353 list the external signals of the UART module
and describe the function of each. The UART signals are alternate functions for some GPIO signals
and default to be GPIO signals at reset, with the exception of the U0Rx and U0Tx pins which default
to the UART function. The column in the table below titled "Pin Assignment" lists the possible GPIO
pin placements for these UART signals. The AFSEL bit in the GPIO Alternate Function Select
(GPIOAFSEL) register (page 266) should be set to choose the UART function. For more information
on configuring GPIOs, see “General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)” on page 244.

Functional Description
Each Stellaris UART performs the functions of parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel conversions.
It is similar in functionality to a 16C550 UART, but is not register compatible.
The UART is configured for transmit and/or receive via the TXE and RXE bits of the UART Control
(UARTCTL) register (see page 371). Transmit and receive are both enabled out of reset. Before any
control registers are programmed, the UART must be disabled by clearing the UARTEN bit in
UARTCTL. If the UART is disabled during a TX or RX operation, the current transaction is completed
prior to the UART stopping.
The UART peripheral also includes a serial IR (SIR) encoder/decoder block that can be connected
to an infrared transceiver to implement an IrDA SIR physical layer. The SIR function is programmed
using the UARTCTL register.
10.3.1
Transmit/Receive Logic
The transmit logic performs parallel-to-serial conversion on the data read from the transmit FIFO.
The control logic outputs the serial bit stream beginning with a start bit, and followed by the data
bits (LSB first), parity bit, and the stop bits according to the programmed configuration in the control
registers. See Figure 10-2 on page 353 for details.
The receive logic performs serial-to-parallel conversion on the received bit stream after a valid start
pulse has been detected. Overrun, parity, frame error checking, and line-break detection are also
performed, and their status accompanies the data that is written to the receive FIFO.

Baud-Rate Generation
The baud-rate divisor is a 22-bit number consisting of a 16-bit integer and a 6-bit fractional part.
The number formed by these two values is used by the baud-rate generator to determine the bit
period. Having a fractional baud-rate divider allows the UART to generate all the standard baud
rates.
The 16-bit integer is loaded through the UART Integer Baud-Rate Divisor (UARTIBRD) register
(see page 367) and the 6-bit fractional part is loaded with the UART Fractional Baud-Rate Divisor
(UARTFBRD) register (see page 368). The baud-rate divisor (BRD) has the following relationship
to the system clock (where BRDI is the integer part of the BRD and BRDF is the fractional part,
separated by a decimal place.)
June 18, 2012
353
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Universal Asynchronous Receivers/Transmitters (UARTs)
BRD = BRDI + BRDF = UARTSysClk / (16 * Baud Rate)
where UARTSysClk is the system clock connected to the UART.
The 6-bit fractional number (that is to be loaded into the DIVFRAC bit field in the UARTFBRD register)
can be calculated by taking the fractional part of the baud-rate divisor, multiplying it by 64, and
adding 0.5 to account for rounding errors:
UARTFBRD[DIVFRAC] = integer(BRDF * 64 + 0.5)
The UART generates an internal baud-rate reference clock at 16x the baud-rate (referred to as
Baud16). This reference clock is divided by 16 to generate the transmit clock, and is used for error
detection during receive operations.
Along with the UART Line Control, High Byte (UARTLCRH) register (see page 369), the UARTIBRD
and UARTFBRD registers form an internal 30-bit register. This internal register is only updated
when a write operation to UARTLCRH is performed, so any changes to the baud-rate divisor must
be followed by a write to the UARTLCRH register for the changes to take effect.
To update the baud-rate registers, there are four possible sequences:
■ UARTIBRD write, UARTFBRD write, and UARTLCRH write
■ UARTFBRD write, UARTIBRD write, and UARTLCRH write
■ UARTIBRD write and UARTLCRH write
■ UARTFBRD write and UARTLCRH write
10.3.3
Data Transmission
Data received or transmitted is stored in two 16-byte FIFOs, though the receive FIFO has an extra
four bits per character for status information. For transmission, data is written into the transmit FIFO.
If the UART is enabled, it causes a data frame to start transmitting with the parameters indicated
in the UARTLCRH register. Data continues to be transmitted until there is no data left in the transmit
FIFO. The BUSY bit in the UART Flag (UARTFR) register (see page 364) is asserted as soon as
data is written to the transmit FIFO (that is, if the FIFO is non-empty) and remains asserted while
data is being transmitted. The BUSY bit is negated only when the transmit FIFO is empty, and the
last character has been transmitted from the shift register, including the stop bits. The UART can
indicate that it is busy even though the UART may no longer be enabled.
When the receiver is idle (the UnRx is continuously 1) and the data input goes Low (a start bit has
been received), the receive counter begins running and data is sampled on the eighth cycle of
Baud16 (described in “Transmit/Receive Logic” on page 353).
The start bit is valid and recognized if UnRx is still low on the eighth cycle of Baud16, otherwise it
is ignored. After a valid start bit is detected, successive data bits are sampled on every 16th cycle
of Baud16 (that is, one bit period later) according to the programmed length of the data characters.
The parity bit is then checked if parity mode was enabled. Data length and parity are defined in the
UARTLCRH register.
Lastly, a valid stop bit is confirmed if UnRx is High, otherwise a framing error has occurred. When
a full word is received, the data is stored in the receive FIFO, with any error bits associated with
that word.

10.3.4
Serial IR (SIR)
The UART peripheral includes an IrDA serial-IR (SIR) encoder/decoder block. The IrDA SIR block
provides functionality that converts between an asynchronous UART data stream, and half-duplex
serial SIR interface. No analog processing is performed on-chip. The role of the SIR block is to
provide a digital encoded output and decoded input to the UART. The UART signal pins can be
connected to an infrared transceiver to implement an IrDA SIR physical layer link. The SIR block
has two modes of operation:
■ In normal IrDA mode, a zero logic level is transmitted as high pulse of 3/16th duration of the
selected baud rate bit period on the output pin, while logic one levels are transmitted as a static
LOW signal. These levels control the driver of an infrared transmitter, sending a pulse of light
for each zero. On the reception side, the incoming light pulses energize the photo transistor base
of the receiver, pulling its output LOW. This drives the UART input pin LOW.
■ In low-power IrDA mode, the width of the transmitted infrared pulse is set to three times the
period of the internally generated IrLPBaud16 signal (1.63 µs, assuming a nominal 1.8432 MHz
frequency) by changing the appropriate bit in the UARTCR register. See page 366 for more
information on IrDA low-power pulse-duration configuration.
Figure 10-3 on page 355 shows the UART transmit and receive signals, with and without IrDA
modulation.

In both normal and low-power IrDA modes:
■ During transmission, the UART data bit is used as the base for encoding
■ During reception, the decoded bits are transferred to the UART receive logic
The IrDA SIR physical layer specifies a half-duplex communication link, with a minimum 10 ms delay
between transmission and reception. This delay must be generated by software because it is not
automatically supported by the UART. The delay is required because the infrared receiver electronics
might become biased, or even saturated from the optical power coupled from the adjacent transmitter
LED. This delay is known as latency, or receiver setup time.
If the application does not require the use of the UnRx signal, the GPIO pin that has the UnRx signal
as an alternate function must be configured as the UnRx signal and pulled High.

10.3.5
FIFO Operation
The UART has two 16-entry FIFOs; one for transmit and one for receive. Both FIFOs are accessed
via the UART Data (UARTDR) register (see page 360). Read operations of the UARTDR register
return a 12-bit value consisting of 8 data bits and 4 error flags while write operations place 8-bit data
in the transmit FIFO.
Out of reset, both FIFOs are disabled and act as 1-byte-deep holding registers. The FIFOs are
enabled by setting the FEN bit in UARTLCRH (page 369).
FIFO status can be monitored via the UART Flag (UARTFR) register (see page 364) and the UART
Receive Status (UARTRSR) register. Hardware monitors empty, full and overrun conditions. The
UARTFR register contains empty and full flags (TXFE, TXFF, RXFE, and RXFF bits) and the
UARTRSR register shows overrun status via the OE bit.
The trigger points at which the FIFOs generate interrupts is controlled via the UART Interrupt FIFO
Level Select (UARTIFLS) register (see page 373). Both FIFOs can be individually configured to
trigger interrupts at different levels. Available configurations include 1/8, ¼, ½, ¾, and 7/8. For
example, if the ¼ option is selected for the receive FIFO, the UART generates a receive interrupt
after 4 data bytes are received. Out of reset, both FIFOs are configured to trigger an interrupt at the
½ mark.
10.3.6
Interrupts
The UART can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
■ Overrun Error
■ Break Error
■ Parity Error
■ Framing Error
■ Receive Timeout
■ Transmit (when condition defined in the TXIFLSEL bit in the UARTIFLS register is met)
■ Receive (when condition defined in the RXIFLSEL bit in the UARTIFLS register is met)
All of the interrupt events are ORed together before being sent to the interrupt controller, so the
UART can only generate a single interrupt request to the controller at any given time. Software can
service multiple interrupt events in a single interrupt service routine by reading the UART Masked
Interrupt Status (UARTMIS) register (see page 378).
The interrupt events that can trigger a controller-level interrupt are defined in the UART Interrupt
Mask (UARTIM ) register (see page 375) by setting the corresponding IM bit to 1. If interrupts are
not used, the raw interrupt status is always visible via the UART Raw Interrupt Status (UARTRIS)
register (see page 377).
Interrupts are always cleared (for both the UARTMIS and UARTRIS registers) by setting the
corresponding bit in the UART Interrupt Clear (UARTICR) register (see page 379).
The receive interrupt changes state when one of the following events occurs:
356
June 18, 2012
Texas Instruments-Production Data
®
Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
■ If the FIFOs are enabled and the receive FIFO reaches the programmed trigger level, the RXRIS
bit is set. The receive interrupt is cleared by reading data from the receive FIFO until it becomes
less than the trigger level, or by clearing the interrupt by writing a 1 to the RXIC bit.
■ If the FIFOs are disabled (have a depth of one location) and data is received thereby filling the
location, the RXRIS bit is set. The receive interrupt is cleared by performing a single read of the
receive FIFO, or by clearing the interrupt by writing a 1 to the RXIC bit.
The transmit interrupt changes state when one of the following events occurs:
■ If the FIFOs are enabled and the transmit FIFO reaches the programmed trigger level, the TXRIS
bit is set. The transmit interrupt is cleared by writing data to the transmit FIFO until it becomes
greater than the trigger level, or by clearing the interrupt by writing a 1 to the TXIC bit.
■ If the FIFOs are disabled (have a depth of one location) and there is no data present in the
transmitters single location, the TXRIS bit is set. It is cleared by performing a single write to the
transmit FIFO, or by clearing the interrupt by writing a 1 to the TXIC bit.
10.3.7
Loopback Operation
The UART can be placed into an internal loopback mode for diagnostic or debug work. This is
accomplished by setting the LBE bit in the UARTCTL register (see page 371). In loopback mode,
data transmitted on UnTx is received on the UnRx input.
10.3.8
IrDA SIR block
The IrDA SIR block contains an IrDA serial IR (SIR) protocol encoder/decoder. When enabled, the
SIR block uses the UnTx and UnRx pins for the SIR protocol, which should be connected to an IR
transceiver.
The SIR block can receive and transmit, but it is only half-duplex so it cannot do both at the same
time. Transmission must be stopped before data can be received. The IrDA SIR physical layer
specifies a minimum 10-ms delay between transmission and reception.
10.4
Initialization and Configuration
To use the UART, the peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the UART0 bit in the RCGC1
register.
This section discusses the steps that are required to use a UART module. For this example, the
UART clock is assumed to be 20 MHz and the desired UART configuration is:
■ 115200 baud rate
■ Data length of 8 bits
■ One stop bit
■ No parity
■ FIFOs disabled
■ No interrupts
June 18, 2012
357
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Universal Asynchronous Receivers/Transmitters (UARTs)
The first thing to consider when programming the UART is the baud-rate divisor (BRD), since the
UARTIBRD and UARTFBRD registers must be written before the UARTLCRH register. Using the
equation described in “Baud-Rate Generation” on page 353, the BRD can be calculated:
BRD = 20,000,000 / (16 * 115,200) = 10.8507
which means that the DIVINT field of the UARTIBRD register (see page 367) should be set to 10.
The value to be loaded into the UARTFBRD register (see page 368) is calculated by the equation:
UARTFBRD[DIVFRAC] = integer(0.8507 * 64 + 0.5) = 54
With the BRD values in hand, the UART configuration is written to the module in the following order:
1. Disable the UART by clearing the UARTEN bit in the UARTCTL register.
2. Write the integer portion of the BRD to the UARTIBRD register.
3. Write the fractional portion of the BRD to the UARTFBRD register.
4. Write the desired serial parameters to the UARTLCRH register (in this case, a value of
0x0000.0060).
5. Enable the UART by setting the UARTEN bit in the UARTCTL register.

Register Map
Table 10-3 on page 358 lists the UART registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the
register’s address, relative to that UART’s base address:
■ UART0: 0x4000.C000
Note that the UART module clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see
page 203). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the UART module clock is enabled before
any UART module registers are accessed.
Note:
The UART must be disabled (see the UARTEN bit in the UARTCTL register on page 371)
before any of the control registers are reprogrammed. When the UART is disabled during
a TX or RX operation, the current transaction is completed prior to the UART stopping.

Universal Asynchronous Receivers/Transmitters (UARTs)
Register 1: UART Data (UARTDR), offset 0x000
Important: This register is read-sensitive. See the register description for details.
This register is the data register (the interface to the FIFOs).
When FIFOs are enabled, data written to this location is pushed onto the transmit FIFO. If FIFOs
are disabled, data is stored in the transmitter holding register (the bottom word of the transmit FIFO).
A write to this register initiates a transmission from the UART.
For received data, if the FIFO is enabled, the data byte and the 4-bit status (break, frame, parity,
and overrun) is pushed onto the 12-bit wide receive FIFO. If FIFOs are disabled, the data byte and
status are stored in the receiving holding register (the bottom word of the receive FIFO). The received
data can be retrieved by reading this register.

UART Break Error
This bit is set to 1 when a break condition is detected, indicating that
the receive data input was held Low for longer than a full-word
transmission time (defined as start, data, parity, and stop bits).
In FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character at the top of
the FIFO. When a break occurs, only one 0 character is loaded into the
FIFO. The next character is only enabled after the received data input
goes to a 1 (marking state) and the next valid start bit is received.

Register 2: UART Receive Status/Error Clear (UARTRSR/UARTECR), offset
0x004
The UARTRSR/UARTECR register is the receive status register/error clear register.
In addition to the UARTDR register, receive status can also be read from the UARTRSR register.
If the status is read from this register, then the status information corresponds to the entry read from
UARTDR prior to reading UARTRSR. The status information for overrun is set immediately when
an overrun condition occurs.
The UARTRSR register cannot be written.
A write of any value to the UARTECR register clears the framing, parity, break, and overrun errors.
All the bits are cleared to 0 on reset.

Register 4: UART IrDA Low-Power Register (UARTILPR), offset 0x020
The UARTILPR register is an 8-bit read/write register that stores the low-power counter divisor
value used to derive the low-power SIR pulse width clock by dividing down the system clock (SysClk).
All the bits are cleared to 0 when reset.
The internal IrLPBaud16 clock is generated by dividing down SysClk according to the low-power
divisor value written to UARTILPR. The duration of SIR pulses generated when low-power mode
is enabled is three times the period of the IrLPBaud16 clock. The low-power divisor value is
calculated as follows:
ILPDVSR = SysClk / FIrLPBaud16
where FIrLPBaud16 is nominally 1.8432 MHz.
You must choose the divisor so that 1.42 MHz < FIrLPBaud16 < 2.12 MHz, which results in a low-power
pulse duration of 1.41–2.11 μs (three times the period of IrLPBaud16). The minimum frequency
of IrLPBaud16 ensures that pulses less than one period of IrLPBaud16 are rejected, but that
pulses greater than 1.4 μs are accepted as valid pulses.
Note:
Zero is an illegal value. Programming a zero value results in no IrLPBaud16 pulses being
generated.

Register 7: UART Line Control (UARTLCRH), offset 0x02C
The UARTLCRH register is the line control register. Serial parameters such as data length, parity,
and stop bit selection are implemented in this register.
When updating the baud-rate divisor (UARTIBRD and/or UARTIFRD), the UARTLCRH register
must also be written. The write strobe for the baud-rate divisor registers is tied to the UARTLCRH
register.

Register 8: UART Control (UARTCTL), offset 0x030
The UARTCTL register is the control register. All the bits are cleared on reset except for the
Transmit Enable (TXE) and Receive Enable (RXE) bits, which are set to 1.
To enable the UART module, the UARTEN bit must be set to 1. If software requires a configuration
change in the module, the UARTEN bit must be cleared before the configuration changes are written.
If the UART is disabled during a transmit or receive operation, the current transaction is completed
prior to the UART stopping.
Note:
The UARTCTL register should not be changed while the UART is enabled or else the results
are unpredictable. The following sequence is recommended for making changes to the
UARTCTL register.
1. Disable the UART.
2. Wait for the end of transmission or reception of the current character.
3. Flush the transmit FIFO by disabling bit 4 (FEN) in the line control register (UARTLCRH).
4. Reprogram the control register.
5. Enable the UART.

Register 9: UART Interrupt FIFO Level Select (UARTIFLS), offset 0x034
The UARTIFLS register is the interrupt FIFO level select register. You can use this register to define
the FIFO level at which the TXRIS and RXRIS bits in the UARTRIS register are triggered.
The interrupts are generated based on a transition through a level rather than being based on the
level. That is, the interrupts are generated when the fill level progresses through the trigger level.
For example, if the receive trigger level is set to the half-way mark, the interrupt is triggered as the
module is receiving the 9th character.
Out of reset, the TXIFLSEL and RXIFLSEL bits are configured so that the FIFOs trigger an interrupt
at the half-way mark.

Functional Description
The SSI performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data received from a peripheral device. The CPU
accesses data, control, and status information. The transmit and receive paths are buffered with
internal FIFO memories allowing up to eight 16-bit values to be stored independently in both transmit
and receive modes.
11.3.1
Bit Rate Generation
The SSI includes a programmable bit rate clock divider and prescaler to generate the serial output
clock. Bit rates are supported to 2 MHz and higher, although maximum bit rate is determined by
peripheral devices.
The serial bit rate is derived by dividing down the input clock (FSysClk). The clock is first divided
by an even prescale value CPSDVSR from 2 to 254, which is programmed in the SSI Clock Prescale
(SSICPSR) register (see page 413). The clock is further divided by a value from 1 to 256, which is
1 + SCR, where SCR is the value programmed in the SSI Control0 (SSICR0) register (see page 406).
The frequency of the output clock SSIClk is defined by:
SSIClk = FSysClk / (CPSDVSR * (1 + SCR))
Note:
For master mode, the system clock must be at least two times faster than the SSIClk. For
slave mode, the system clock must be at least 12 times faster than the SSIClk.
See “Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)” on page 527 to view SSI timing parameters.

11.3.2
FIFO Operation
11.3.2.1
Transmit FIFO
The common transmit FIFO is a 16-bit wide, 8-locations deep, first-in, first-out memory buffer. The
CPU writes data to the FIFO by writing the SSI Data (SSIDR) register (see page 410), and data is
stored in the FIFO until it is read out by the transmission logic.
When configured as a master or a slave, parallel data is written into the transmit FIFO prior to serial
conversion and transmission to the attached slave or master, respectively, through the SSITx pin.
In slave mode, the SSI transmits data each time the master initiates a transaction. If the transmit
FIFO is empty and the master initiates, the slave transmits the 8th most recent value in the transmit
FIFO. If less than 8 values have been written to the transmit FIFO since the SSI module clock was
enabled using the SSI bit in the RGCG1 register, then 0 is transmitted. Care should be taken to
ensure that valid data is in the FIFO as needed. The SSI can be configured to generate an interrupt
or a µDMA request when the FIFO is empty.
11.3.2.2
Receive FIFO
The common receive FIFO is a 16-bit wide, 8-locations deep, first-in, first-out memory buffer.
Received data from the serial interface is stored in the buffer until read out by the CPU, which
accesses the read FIFO by reading the SSIDR register.
When configured as a master or slave, serial data received through the SSIRx pin is registered
prior to parallel loading into the attached slave or master receive FIFO, respectively.
11.3.3
Interrupts
The SSI can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
■ Transmit FIFO service
■ Receive FIFO service
■ Receive FIFO time-out
■ Receive FIFO overrun
All of the interrupt events are ORed together before being sent to the interrupt controller, so the SSI
can only generate a single interrupt request to the controller at any given time. You can mask each
of the four individual maskable interrupts by setting the appropriate bits in the SSI Interrupt Mask
(SSIIM) register (see page 414). Setting the appropriate mask bit to 1 enables the interrupt.
Provision of the individual outputs, as well as a combined interrupt output, allows use of either a
global interrupt service routine, or modular device drivers to handle interrupts. The transmit and
receive dynamic dataflow interrupts have been separated from the status interrupts so that data
can be read or written in response to the FIFO trigger levels. The status of the individual interrupt
sources can be read from the SSI Raw Interrupt Status (SSIRIS) and SSI Masked Interrupt Status
(SSIMIS) registers (see page 416 and page 417, respectively).
11.3.4
Frame Formats
Each data frame is between 4 and 16 bits long, depending on the size of data programmed, and is
transmitted starting with the MSB. There are three basic frame types that can be selected:
■ Texas Instruments synchronous serial
June 18, 2012
395
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
■ Freescale SPI
■ MICROWIRE
For all three formats, the serial clock (SSIClk) is held inactive while the SSI is idle, and SSIClk
transitions at the programmed frequency only during active transmission or reception of data. The
idle state of SSIClk is utilized to provide a receive timeout indication that occurs when the receive
FIFO still contains data after a timeout period.
For Freescale SPI and MICROWIRE frame formats, the serial frame (SSIFss ) pin is active Low,
and is asserted (pulled down) during the entire transmission of the frame.
For Texas Instruments synchronous serial frame format, the SSIFss pin is pulsed for one serial
clock period starting at its rising edge, prior to the transmission of each frame. For this frame format,
both the SSI and the off-chip slave device drive their output data on the rising edge of SSIClk, and
latch data from the other device on the falling edge.
Unlike the full-duplex transmission of the other two frame formats, the MICROWIRE format uses a
special master-slave messaging technique, which operates at half-duplex. In this mode, when a
frame begins, an 8-bit control message is transmitted to the off-chip slave. During this transmit, no
incoming data is received by the SSI. After the message has been sent, the off-chip slave decodes
it and, after waiting one serial clock after the last bit of the 8-bit control message has been sent,
responds with the requested data. The returned data can be 4 to 16 bits in length, making the total
frame length anywhere from 13 to 25 bits.
11.3.4.1
Texas Instruments Synchronous Serial Frame Format
Figure 11-2 on page 396 shows the Texas Instruments synchronous serial frame format for a single
transmitted frame.

MSB

4 to 16 bits
In this mode, SSIClk and SSIFss are forced Low, and the transmit data line SSITx is tristated
whenever the SSI is idle. Once the bottom entry of the transmit FIFO contains data, SSIFss is
pulsed High for one SSIClk period. The value to be transmitted is also transferred from the transmit
FIFO to the serial shift register of the transmit logic. On the next rising edge of SSIClk, the MSB
of the 4 to 16-bit data frame is shifted out on the SSITx pin. Likewise, the MSB of the received data
is shifted onto the SSIRx pin by the off-chip serial slave device.
Both the SSI and the off-chip serial slave device then clock each data bit into their serial shifter on
the falling edge of each SSIClk. The received data is transferred from the serial shifter to the receive
FIFO on the first rising edge of SSIClk after the LSB has been latched.
Figure 11-3 on page 397 shows the Texas Instruments synchronous serial frame format when
back-to-back frames are transmitted.

11.3.4.2
Freescale SPI Frame Format
The Freescale SPI interface is a four-wire interface where the SSIFss signal behaves as a slave
select. The main feature of the Freescale SPI format is that the inactive state and phase of the
SSIClk signal are programmable through the SPO and SPH bits within the SSISCR0 control register.
SPO Clock Polarity Bit
When the SPO clock polarity control bit is Low, it produces a steady state Low value on the SSIClk
pin. If the SPO bit is High, a steady state High value is placed on the SSIClk pin when data is not
being transferred.
SPH Phase Control Bit
The SPH phase control bit selects the clock edge that captures data and allows it to change state.
It has the most impact on the first bit transmitted by either allowing or not allowing a clock transition
before the first data capture edge. When the SPH phase control bit is Low, data is captured on the
first clock edge transition. If the SPH bit is High, data is captured on the second clock edge transition.
11.3.4.3
Freescale SPI Frame Format with SPO=0 and SPH=0
Single and continuous transmission signal sequences for Freescale SPI format with SPO=0 and

In this configuration, during idle periods:
■ SSIClk is forced Low
■ SSIFss is forced High
■ The transmit data line SSITx is arbitrarily forced Low
■ When the SSI is configured as a master, it enables the SSIClk pad
■ When the SSI is configured as a slave, it disables the SSIClk pad
If the SSI is enabled and there is valid data within the transmit FIFO, the start of transmission is
signified by the SSIFss master signal being driven Low. This causes slave data to be enabled onto
the SSIRx input line of the master. The master SSITx output pad is enabled.
One half SSIClk period later, valid master data is transferred to the SSITx pin. Now that both the
master and slave data have been set, the SSIClk master clock pin goes High after one further half
SSIClk period.
The data is now captured on the rising and propagated on the falling edges of the SSIClk signal.
In the case of a single word transmission, after all bits of the data word have been transferred, the
SSIFss line is returned to its idle High state one SSIClk period after the last bit has been captured.
However, in the case of continuous back-to-back transmissions, the SSIFss signal must be pulsed
High between each data word transfer. This is because the slave select pin freezes the data in its
serial peripheral register and does not allow it to be altered if the SPH bit is logic zero. Therefore,
the master device must raise the SSIFss pin of the slave device between each data transfer to
enable the serial peripheral data write. On completion of the continuous transfer, the SSIFss pin
is returned to its idle state one SSIClk period after the last bit has been captured.

If the SSI is enabled and there is valid data within the transmit FIFO, the start of transmission is

a further one half SSIClk period, both master and slave valid data is enabled onto their respective
transmission lines. At the same time, the SSIClk is enabled with a rising edge transition.
Data is then captured on the falling edges and propagated on the rising edges of the SSIClk signal.
In the case of a single word transfer, after all bits have been transferred, the SSIFss line is returned
to its idle High state one SSIClk period after the last bit has been captured.
For continuous back-to-back transfers, the SSIFss pin is held Low between successive data words
and termination is the same as that of the single word transfer.

One half period later, valid master data is transferred to the SSITx line. Now that both the master
and slave data have been set, the SSIClk master clock pin becomes Low after one further half
SSIClk period. This means that data is captured on the falling edges and propagated on the rising
edges of the SSIClk signal.
In the case of a single word transmission, after all bits of the data word are transferred, the SSIFss
line is returned to its idle High state one SSIClk period after the last bit has been captured.
However, in the case of continuous back-to-back transmissions, the SSIFss signal must be pulsed

Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
MICROWIRE format is very similar to SPI format, except that transmission is half-duplex instead of
full-duplex, using a master-slave message passing technique. Each serial transmission begins with
an 8-bit control word that is transmitted from the SSI to the off-chip slave device. During this
transmission, no incoming data is received by the SSI. After the message has been sent, the off-chip
slave decodes it and, after waiting one serial clock after the last bit of the 8-bit control message has
been sent, responds with the required data. The returned data is 4 to 16 bits in length, making the
total frame length anywhere from 13 to 25 bits.
In this configuration, during idle periods:
■ SSIClk is forced Low
■ SSIFss is forced High
■ The transmit data line SSITx is arbitrarily forced Low
A transmission is triggered by writing a control byte to the transmit FIFO. The falling edge of SSIFss
causes the value contained in the bottom entry of the transmit FIFO to be transferred to the serial
shift register of the transmit logic, and the MSB of the 8-bit control frame to be shifted out onto the
SSITx pin. SSIFss remains Low for the duration of the frame transmission. The SSIRx pin remains
tristated during this transmission.
The off-chip serial slave device latches each control bit into its serial shifter on the rising edge of
each SSIClk. After the last bit is latched by the slave device, the control byte is decoded during a
one clock wait-state, and the slave responds by transmitting data back to the SSI. Each bit is driven
onto the SSIRx line on the falling edge of SSIClk. The SSI in turn latches each bit on the rising
edge of SSIClk. At the end of the frame, for single transfers, the SSIFss signal is pulled High one
clock period after the last bit has been latched in the receive serial shifter, which causes the data
to be transferred to the receive FIFO.
Note:
The off-chip slave device can tristate the receive line either on the falling edge of SSIClk
after the LSB has been latched by the receive shifter, or when the SSIFss pin goes High.
For continuous transfers, data transmission begins and ends in the same manner as a single transfer.
However, the SSIFss line is continuously asserted (held Low) and transmission of data occurs
back-to-back. The control byte of the next frame follows directly after the LSB of the received data
from the current frame. Each of the received values is transferred from the receive shifter on the
falling edge of SSIClk, after the LSB of the frame has been latched into the SSI.

In the MICROWIRE mode, the SSI slave samples the first bit of receive data on the rising edge of

the SSIFss signal has sufficient setup and hold margins with respect to the rising edge of SSIClk.

Figure 11-12 on page 403 illustrates these setup and hold time requirements. With respect to the
SSIClk rising edge on which the first bit of receive data is to be sampled by the SSI slave, SSIFss
must have a setup of at least two times the period of SSIClk on which the SSI operates. With
respect to the SSIClk rising edge previous to this edge, SSIFss must have a hold of at least one
SSIClk period.

Initialization and Configuration
To use the SSI, its peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the SSI bit in the RCGC1 register.
For each of the frame formats, the SSI is configured using the following steps:
1. Ensure that the SSE bit in the SSICR1 register is disabled before making any configuration
changes.
2. Select whether the SSI is a master or slave:
a. For master operations, set the SSICR1 register to 0x0000.0000.
b. For slave mode (output enabled), set the SSICR1 register to 0x0000.0004.
c. For slave mode (output disabled), set the SSICR1 register to 0x0000.000C.
3. Configure the clock prescale divisor by writing the SSICPSR register.
4. Write the SSICR0 register with the following configuration:
■ Serial clock rate (SCR)
■ Desired clock phase/polarity, if using Freescale SPI mode (SPH and SPO)
■ The protocol mode: Freescale SPI, TI SSF, MICROWIRE (FRF)
■ The data size (DSS)
5. Enable the SSI by setting the SSE bit in the SSICR1 register.
As an example, assume the SSI must be configured to operate with the following parameters:
■ Master operation
■ Freescale SPI mode (SPO=1, SPH=1)
June 18, 2012
403
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
■ 1 Mbps bit rate
■ 8 data bits
Assuming the system clock is 20 MHz, the bit rate calculation would be:
FSSIClk = FSysClk / (CPSDVSR * (1 + SCR))
1x106 = 20x106 / (CPSDVSR * (1 + SCR))
In this case, if CPSDVSR=2, SCR must be 9.
The configuration sequence would be as follows:
1. Ensure that the SSE bit in the SSICR1 register is disabled.
2. Write the SSICR1 register with a value of 0x0000.0000.
3. Write the SSICPSR register with a value of 0x0000.0002.
4. Write the SSICR0 register with a value of 0x0000.09C7.
5. The SSI is then enabled by setting the SSE bit in the SSICR1 register to 1.

Register Map
Table 11-3 on page 404 lists the SSI registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the
register’s address, relative to that SSI module’s base address:
■ SSI0: 0x4000.8000
Note that the SSI module clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see
page 203). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the SSI module clock is enabled before
any SSI module registers are accessed.
Note:
The SSI must be disabled (see the SSE bit in the SSICR1 register) before any of the control
registers are reprogrammed.

SCR
R/W
0x0000
SSI Serial Clock Rate
The value SCR is used to generate the transmit and receive bit rate of
the SSI. The bit rate is:
BR=FSSIClk/(CPSDVSR * (1 + SCR))
where CPSDVSR is an even value from 2-254 programmed in the
SSICPSR register, and SCR is a value from 0-255.

SPH
R/W
0
SSI Serial Clock Phase
This bit is only applicable to the Freescale SPI Format.
The SPH control bit selects the clock edge that captures data and allows
it to change state. It has the most impact on the first bit transmitted by
either allowing or not allowing a clock transition before the first data
capture edge.
When the SPH bit is 0, data is captured on the first clock edge transition.
If SPH is 1, data is captured on the second clock edge transition.
6
SPO

0
SSI Serial Clock Polarity
This bit is only applicable to the Freescale SPI Format.
When the SPO bit is 0, it produces a steady state Low value on the
SSIClk pin. If SPO is 1, a steady state High value is placed on the
SSIClk pin when data is not being transferred.

SSI Slave Mode Output Disable
This bit is relevant only in the Slave mode (MS=1). In multiple-slave
systems, it is possible for the SSI master to broadcast a message to all
slaves in the system while ensuring that only one slave drives data onto
the serial output line. In such systems, the TXD lines from multiple slaves
could be tied together. To operate in such a system, the SOD bit can be
configured so that the SSI slave does not drive the SSITx pin.
The SOD values are defined as follows:

Register 3: SSI Data (SSIDR), offset 0x008
Important: This register is read-sensitive. See the register description for details.
SSIDR is the data register and is 16-bits wide. When SSIDR is read, the entry in the receive FIFO
(pointed to by the current FIFO read pointer) is accessed. As data values are removed by the SSI
receive logic from the incoming data frame, they are placed into the entry in the receive FIFO (pointed
to by the current FIFO write pointer).
When SSIDR is written to, the entry in the transmit FIFO (pointed to by the write pointer) is written
to. Data values are removed from the transmit FIFO one value at a time by the transmit logic. It is
loaded into the transmit serial shifter, then serially shifted out onto the SSITx pin at the programmed
bit rate.
When a data size of less than 16 bits is selected, the user must right-justify data written to the
transmit FIFO. The transmit logic ignores the unused bits. Received data less than 16 bits is
automatically right-justified in the receive buffer.
When the SSI is programmed for MICROWIRE frame format, the default size for transmit data is
eight bits (the most significant byte is ignored). The receive data size is controlled by the programmer.
The transmit FIFO and the receive FIFO are not cleared even when the SSE bit in the SSICR1
register is set to zero. This allows the software to fill the transmit FIFO before enabling the SSI.

SSI Receive/Transmit Data
A read operation reads the receive FIFO. A write operation writes the

Software must right-justify data when the SSI is programmed for a data
size that is less than 16 bits. Unused bits at the top are ignored by the
transmit logic. The receive logic automatically right-justifies the data.

Block Diagram
As shown in Figure 12-1 on page 432, the Ethernet Controller is functionally divided into two layers:
the Media Access Controller (MAC) layer and the Network Physical (PHY) layer. These layers
correspond to the OSI model layers 2 and 1. The CPU accesses the Ethernet Controller via the
MAC layer. The MAC layer provides transmit and receive processing for Ethernet frames. The MAC
layer also provides the interface to the PHY layer via an internal Media Independent Interface (MII).
The PHY layer communicates with the Ethernet bus.

Signal Description
Table 12-1 on page 433 and Table 12-2 on page 433 list the external signals of the Ethernet Controller
and describe the function of each. The Ethernet LED signals are alternate functions for GPIO signals
and default to be GPIO signals at reset. The column in the table below titled "Pin Assignment" lists
the GPIO pin placement for the LED signals. The AFSEL bit in the GPIO Alternate Function Select
(GPIOAFSEL) register (page 266) should be set to choose the LED function. For more information
on configuring GPIOs, see “General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)” on page 244. The remaining
signals (with the word "fixed" in the Pin Mux/Pin Assignment column) have a fixed pin assignment
and function.

Functional Description
Note:
A 12.4-kΩ resistor should be connected between the ERBIAS and ground. The 12.4-kΩ
resistor should have a 1% tolerance and should be located in close proximity to the ERBIAS
pin. Power dissipation in the resistor is low, so a chip resistor of any geometry may be used.
The functional description of the Ethernet Controller is discussed in the following sections.
12.3.1
MAC Operation
The following sections decribe the operation of the MAC unit, including an overview of the Ethernet
frame format, the MAC layer FIFOs, Ethernet transmission and reception options, and LED indicators.
12.3.1.1
Ethernet Frame Format
Ethernet data is carried by Ethernet frames. The basic frame format is shown in Figure
12-3 on page 434.

The seven fields of the frame are transmitted from left to right. The bits within the frame are
transmitted from least to most significant bit.
■ Preamble
The Preamble field is used to synchronize with the received frame’s timing. The preamble is 7
octets long.
■ Start Frame Delimiter (SFD)
The SFD field follows the preamble pattern and indicates the start of the frame. Its value is
1010.1011.
■ Destination Address (DA)
This field specifies destination addresses for which the frame is intended. The LSB (bit 16 of DA
oct 1 in the frame, see Table 12-3 on page 436) of the DA determines whether the address is an
individual (0), or group/multicast (1) address.
■ Source Address (SA)
The source address field identifies the station from which the frame was initiated.
■ Length/Type Field
The meaning of this field depends on its numeric value. This field can be interpreted as length
or type code. The maximum length of the data field is 1500 octets. If the value of the Length/Type
field is less than or equal to 1500 decimal, it indicates the number of MAC client data octets. If
the value of this field is greater than or equal to 1536 decimal, then it is type interpretation. The
meaning of the Length/Type field when the value is between 1500 and 1536 decimal is unspecified
by the IEEE 802.3 standard. However, the Ethernet Controller assumes type interpretation if the
434
June 18, 2012
Texas Instruments-Production Data
®
Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
value of the Length/Type field is greater than 1500 decimal. The definition of the Type field is
specified in the IEEE 802.3 standard. The first of the two octets in this field is most significant.
■ Data
The data field is a sequence of octets that is at least 46 in length, up to 1500 in length. Full data
transparency is provided so any values can appear in this field. A minimum frame size of 46
octets is required to meet the IEEE standard. If the frame size is too small, the Ethernet Controller
automatically appends extra bits (a pad), thus the pad can have a size of 0 to 46 octets. Data
padding can be disabled by clearing the PADEN bit in the Ethernet MAC Transmit Control
(MACTCTL) register.
For the Ethernet Controller, data sent/received can be larger than 1500 bytes without causing
a Frame Too Long error. Instead, a FIFO overrun error is reported using the FOV bit in the
Ethernet MAC Raw Interrupt Status(MACRIS) register when the frame received is too large
to fit into the Ethernet Controller’s 2K RAM.
■ Frame Check Sequence (FCS)
The frame check sequence carries the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value. The CRC is
computed over the destination address, source address, length/type, and data (including pad)
fields using the CRC-32 algorithm. The Ethernet Controller computes the FCS value one nibble
at a time. For transmitted frames, this field is automatically inserted by the MAC layer, unless
disabled by clearing the CRC bit in the MACTCTL register. For received frames, this field is
automatically checked. If the FCS does not pass, the frame is not placed in the RX FIFO, unless
the FCS check is disabled by clearing the BADCRC bit in the MACRCTL register.
12.3.1.2
MAC Layer FIFOs
The Ethernet Controller is capable of simultaneous transmission and reception. This feature is
enabled by setting the DUPLEX bit in the MACTCTL register.
For Ethernet frame transmission, a 2 KB transmit FIFO is provided that can be used to store a single
frame. While the IEEE 802.3 specification limits the size of an Ethernet frame's payload section to
1500 Bytes, the Ethernet Controller places no such limit. The full buffer can be used, for a payload
of up to 2032 bytes (as the first 16 bytes in the FIFO are reserved for destination address, source
address and length/type information).
For Ethernet frame reception, a 2-KB receive FIFO is provided that can be used to store multiple
frames, up to a maximum of 31 frames. If a frame is received, and there is insufficient space in the
RX FIFO, an overflow error is indicated using the FOV bit in the MACRIS register.
For details regarding the TX and RX FIFO layout, refer to Table 12-3 on page 436. Please note the
following difference between TX and RX FIFO layout. For the TX FIFO, the Data Length field in the
first FIFO word refers to the Ethernet frame data payload, as shown in the 5th to nth FIFO positions.
For the RX FIFO, the Frame Length field is the total length of the received Ethernet frame, including
the Length/Type bytes and the FCS bits.
If FCS generation is disabled by clearing the CRC bit in the MACTCTL register, the last word in the
TX FIFO must contain the FCS bytes for the frame that has been written to the FIFO.
Also note that if the length of the data payload section is not a multiple of 4, the FCS field is not be
aligned on a word boundary in the FIFO. However, for the RX FIFO the beginning of the next frame
is always on a word boundary.

If the CRC bit in the MACTCTL register is clear, the FCS bytes must be written with the
correct CRC. If the CRC bit is set, the Ethernet Controller automatically writes the FCS bytes.
Ethernet Transmission Options
At the MAC layer, the transmitter can be configured for both full-duplex and half-duplex operation
by using the DUPLEX bit in the MACTCTL register.
The Ethernet Controller automatically generates and inserts the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) at
the end of the transmit frame when the CRC bit in the MACTCTL register is set. However, for test
purposes, this feature can be disabled in order to generate a frame with an invalid CRC by clearing
the CRC bit.
The IEEE 802.3 specification requires that the Ethernet frame payload section be a minimum of 46
bytes. The Ethernet Controller automatically pads the data section if the payload data section loaded
into the FIFO is less than the minimum 46 bytes when the PADEN bit in the MACTCTL register is
set. This feature can be disabled by clearing the PADEN bit.
The transmitter must be enabled by setting the TXEN bit in the TCTL register.
436

Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
12.3.1.4
Ethernet Reception Options
The Ethernet Controller RX FIFO should be cleared during software initialization. The receiver should
first be disabled by clearing the RXEN bit in the Ethernet MAC Receive Control (MACRCTL)
register, then the FIFO can be cleared by setting the RSTFIFO bit in the MACRCTL register.
The receiver automatically rejects frames that contain bad CRC values in the FCS field. In this case,
a Receive Error interrupt is generated and the receive data is lost. To accept all frames, clear the
BADCRC bit in the MACRCTL register.
In normal operating mode, the receiver accepts only those frames that have a destination address
that matches the address programmed into the Ethernet MAC Individual Address 0 (MACIA0)
and Ethernet MAC Individual Address 1 (MACIA1) registers. However, the Ethernet receiver can
also be configured for Promiscuous and Multicast modes by setting the PRMS and AMUL bits in the
MACRCTL register.
12.3.2
Internal MII Operation
For the MII management interface to function properly, the MDIO signal must be connected through
a 10k Ω pull-up resistor to the +3.3 V supply. Failure to connect this pull-up resistor prevents
management transactions on this internal MII to function. Note that it is possible for data transmission
across the MII to still function since the PHY layer auto-negotiates the link parameters by default.
For the MII management interface to function properly, the internal clock must be divided down from
the system clock to a frequency no greater than 2.5 MHz. The Ethernet MAC Management Divider
(MACMDV) register contains the divider used for scaling down the system clock. See page 456 for
more details about the use of this register.
12.3.3
PHY Operation
The Physical Layer (PHY) in the Ethernet Controller includes integrated ENDECs,
scrambler/descrambler, dual-speed clock recovery, and full-featured auto-negotiation functions.
The transmitter includes an on-chip pulse shaper and a low-power line driver. The receiver has an
adaptive equalizer and a baseline restoration circuit required for accurate clock and data recovery.
The transceiver interfaces to Category-5 unshielded twisted pair (Cat-5 UTP) cabling for 100BASE-TX
applications, and Category-3 unshielded twisted pair (Cat-3 UTP) for 10BASE-T applications. The
Ethernet Controller is connected to the line media via dual 1:1 isolation transformers. No external
filter is required.
12.3.3.1
Clock Selection
The Ethernet Controller has an on-chip crystal oscillator which can also be driven by an external
oscillator. In this mode of operation, a 25-MHz crystal should be connected between the XTALPPHY
and XTALNPHY pins. Alternatively, an external 25-MHz clock input can be connected to the XTALPPHY
pin. In this mode of operation, a crystal is not required and the XTALNPHY pin must be tied to ground.
12.3.3.2
Auto-Negotiation
The Ethernet Controller supports the auto-negotiation functions of Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3
standard for 10/100 Mbps operation over copper wiring. This function is controlled via register
settings. The auto-negotiation function is turned on by default, and the ANEGEN bit in the Ethernet
PHY Management Register 0 - Control (MR0) is set after reset. Software can disable the
auto-negotiation function by clearing the ANEGEN bit. The contents of the Ethernet PHY Management
Register - Auto-Negotiation Advertisement (MR4) are reflected to the Ethernet Controller’s link
partner during auto-negotiation via fast-link pulse coding.
June 18, 2012
437
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Ethernet Controller
Once auto-negotiation is complete, the DPLX and RATE bits in the Ethernet PHY Management
Register 18 - Diagnostic (MR18) register reflect the actual speed and duplex condition. If
auto-negotiation fails to establish a link for any reason, the ANEGF bit in the MR18 register reflects
this and auto-negotiation restarts from the beginning. Setting the RANEG bit in the MR0 register also
causes auto-negotiation to restart.
12.3.3.3
Polarity Correction
The Ethernet Controller is capable of either automatic or manual polarity reversal for 10BASE-T
and auto-negotiation functions. Bits 4 and 5 (RVSPOL and APOL) in the Ethernet PHY Management
Register 16 - Vendor-Specific (MR16) control this feature. The default is automatic mode, where
APOL is clear and RVSPOL indicates if the detection circuitry has inverted the input signal. To enter
manual mode, APOL should be set. In manual mode RVSPOL controls the signal polarity.
12.3.3.4
MDI/MDI-X Configuration
The Ethernet Controller supports the MDI/MDI-X configuration as defined in IEEE 802.3-2002
specification. The MDI/MDI-X configuration eliminates the need for cross-over cables when connecting
to another device, such as a hub. The algorithm is controlled via settings in the Ethernet PHY
Management Register 24 - MDI/MIDIX Control (MR24). Refer to page 478 for additional details
about these settings.
12.3.3.5
Power Management
The PHY has two power-saving modes:
■ Power-Down
■ Receive Power Management
Power-down mode is activated by setting the PWRDN bit in the MR0 register. When the PHY is in
power-down mode, it consumes minimum power. While in the power-down state, the Ethernet
Controller still responds to management transactions.
Receive power management (RXCC mode) is activated by setting the RXCC bit in the MR16 register.
In this mode of operation, the adaptive equalizer, the clock recovery phase lock loop (PLL), and all
other receive circuitry are powered down. As soon as a valid signal is detected, all circuits are
automatically powered up to resume normal operation. Note that the RXCC mode is not supported
during 10BASE-T operation.
12.3.3.6
LED Indicators
The Ethernet Controller supports two LED signals that can be used to indicate various states of
operation. These signals are mapped to the LED0 and LED1 pins. By default, these pins are
configured as GPIO signals (PF3 and PF2). For the PHY layer to drive these signals, they must be
reconfigured to their alternate function. See “General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)” on page 244
for additional details. The function of these pins is programmable via the PHY layer Ethernet PHY
Management Register 23 - LED Configuration (MR23). Refer to page 477 for additional details on
how to program these LED functions.
12.3.4
Interrupts
The Ethernet Controller can generate an interrupt for one or more of the following conditions:
■ A frame has been received into an empty RX FIFO
438
June 18, 2012

■ A frame transmission error has occurred
■ A frame has been transmitted successfully
■ A frame has been received with inadequate room in the RX FIFO (overrun)
■ A frame has been received with one or more error conditions (for example, FCS failed)
■ An MII management transaction between the MAC and PHY layers has completed
■ One or more of the following PHY layer conditions occurs:
– Auto-Negotiate Complete
– Remote Fault
– Link Status Change
– Link Partner Acknowledge

Software Configuration
To use the Ethernet Controller, it must be enabled by setting the EPHY0 and EMAC0 bits in the
RCGC2 register (see page 209). The following steps can then be used to configure the Ethernet
Controller for basic operation.
1. Program the MACDIV register to obtain a 2.5 MHz clock (or less) on the internal MII. Assuming
a 20-MHz system clock, the MACDIV value should be 0x03 or greater.
2. Program the MACIA0 and MACIA1 register for address filtering.
3. Program the MACTCTL register for Auto CRC generation, padding, and full-duplex operation
using a value of 0x16.

4. Program the MACRCTL register to flush the receive FIFO and reject frames with bad FCS using
a value of 0x18.
5. Enable both the Transmitter and Receive by setting the LSB in both the MACTCTL and
MACRCTL registers.
6. To transmit a frame, write the frame into the TX FIFO using the Ethernet MAC Data (MACDATA)
register. Then set the NEWTX bit in the Ethernet Mac Transmission Request (MACTR) register
to initiate the transmit process. When the NEWTX bit has been cleared, the TX FIFO is available
for the next transmit frame.
7. To receive a frame, wait for the NPR field in the Ethernet MAC Number of Packets (MACNP)
register to be non-zero. Then begin reading the frame from the RX FIFO by using the MACDATA
register. To ensure that the entire packet is received, either use the DriverLib EthernetPacketGet()
API or compare the number of bytes received to the Length field from the frame to determine
when the packet has been completely read.

Ethernet Register Map
Table 12-4 on page 441 lists the Ethernet MAC registers. All addresses given are relative to the
Ethernet MAC base address of 0x4004.8000. Note that the Ethernet module clock must be enabled
before the registers can be programmed (see page 209). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks
after the Ethernet module clock is enabled before any Ethernet module registers are accessed.
The IEEE 802.3 standard specifies a register set for controlling and gathering status from the PHY
layer. The registers are collectively known as the MII Management registers and are detailed in
Section 22.2.4 of the IEEE 802.3 specification. Table 12-4 on page 441 also lists these MII
Management registers. All addresses given are absolute and are written directly to the REGADR field
of the Ethernet MAC Management Control (MACMCTL) register. The format of registers 0 to 15
are defined by the IEEE specification and are common to all PHY layer implementations. The only
variance allowed is for features that may or may not be supported by a specific PHY implementation.
Registers 16 to 31 are vendor-specific registers, used to support features that are specific to a
vendor's PHY implementation. Vendor-specific registers not listed are reserved.

Register 1: Ethernet MAC Raw Interrupt Status/Acknowledge
(MACRIS/MACIACK), offset 0x000
The MACRIS/MACIACK register is the interrupt status and acknowledge register. On a read, this
register gives the current status value of the corresponding interrupt prior to masking. On a write,
setting any bit clears the corresponding interrupt status bit.

Register 5: Ethernet MAC Data (MACDATA), offset 0x010
Important: This register is read-sensitive. See the register description for details.
This register enables software to access the TX and RX FIFOs.
Reads from this register return the data stored in the RX FIFO from the location indicated by the
read pointer. The read pointer is then auto incremented to the next RX FIFO location. Reading from
the RX FIFO when a frame has not been received or is in the process of being received will return
indeterminate data and not increment the read pointer.
Writes to this register store the data in the TX FIFO at the location indicated by the write pointer.
The write pointer is the auto incremented to the next TX FIFO location. Writing more data into the
TX FIFO than indicated in the length field will result in the data being lost. Writing less data into the
TX FIFO than indicated in the length field will result in indeterminate data being appended to the
end of the frame to achieve the indicated length. Attempting to write the next frame into the TX FIFO
before transmission of the first has completed will result in the data being lost.
There is no mechanism for randomly accessing bytes in either the RX or TX FIFOs. Data must be
read from the RX FIFO sequentially and stored in a buffer for further processing. Once a read has
been performed, the data in the FIFO cannot be re-read. Data must be written to the TX FIFO
sequentially. If an error is made in placing the frame into the TX FIFO, the write pointer can be reset
to the start of the TX FIFO by writing the TXER bit of the MACIACK register and then the data
re-written.

Register 8: Ethernet MAC Threshold (MACTHR), offset 0x01C
In order to increase the transmission rate, it is possible to program the Ethernet Controller to begin
transmission of the next frame prior to the completion of the transmission of the current frame. Note:
Extreme care must be used when implementing this function. Software must be able to guarantee
that the complete frame is able to be stored in the transmission FIFO prior to the completion of the
transmission frame.
This register enables software to set the threshold level at which the transmission of the frame
begins. If the THRESH bits are set to 0x3F, which is the reset value, the early transmission feature
is disabled, and transmission does not start until the NEWTX bit is set in the MACTR register.
Writing the THRESH bits to any value besides 0x3F enables the early transmission feature. Once
the byte count of data in the TX FIFO reaches the value derived from the THRESH bits as shown
below, transmission of the frame begins. When THRESH is set to all 0s, transmission of the frame
begins after 4 bytes (a single write) are stored in the TX FIFO. Each increment of the THRESH bit
field waits for an additional 32 bytes of data (eight writes) to be stored in the TX FIFO. Therefore,
a value of 0x01 causes the transmitter to wait for 36 bytes of data to be written while a value of 0x02
makes the wait equal to 68 bytes of written data. In general, early transmission starts when:
Number of Bytes >= 4 (THRESH x 8 + 1)
Reaching the threshold level has the same effect as setting the NEWTX bit in the MACTR register.
Transmission of the frame begins and then the number of bytes indicated by the Data Length field
is transmitted. Because under-run checking is not performed, if any event, such as an interrupt,
delays the filling of the FIFO, the tail pointer may reach and pass the write pointer in the TX FIFO.
In this event, indeterminate values are transmitted rather than the end of the frame. Therefore,
sufficient bus bandwidth for writing to the TX FIFO must be guaranteed by the software.
If a frame smaller than the threshold level must be sent, the NEWTX bit in the MACTR register must
be set with an explicit write. This initiates the transmission of the frame even though the threshold
limit has not been reached.
If the threshold level is set too small, it is possible for the transmitter to underrun. If this occurs, the
transmit frame is aborted, and a transmit error occurs. Note that in this case, the TXER bit in the
MACRIS is not set meaning that the CPU receives no indication that a transmit error happened.

This register holds the number of frames that are currently in the RX FIFO. When NPR is 0, there
are no frames in the RX FIFO, and the RXINT bit is clear. When NPR is any other value, at least
one frame is in the RX FIFO, and the RXINT bit in the MACRIS register is set.
Note:
The FCS bytes are not included in the NPR value. As a result, the NPR value could be zero
before the FCS bytes are read from the FIFO. In addition, a new packet could be received
before the NPR value reaches zero. To ensure that the entire packet is received, either use
the DriverLib EthernetPacketGet() API or compare the number of bytes received to the

Auto-Polarity Disable

Receive Data Polarity
This bit indicates whether the receive data pulses are being inverted.
If the APOL bit is 0, then the RVSPOL bit is read-only and indicates
whether the auto-polarity circuitry is reversing the polarity. In this case,
if RVSPOL is set, it indicates that the receive data is inverted; if RVSPOL
is clear, it indicates that the receive data is not inverted.
If the APOL bit is 1, then the RVSPOL bit is writable and software can
force the receive data to be inverted. Setting RVSPOL to 1 forces the
receive data to be inverted; clearing RVSPOL does not invert the receive
data.

Analog Comparators
An analog comparator is a peripheral that compares two analog voltages, and provides a logical
output that signals the comparison result.
Note:
Not all comparators have the option to drive an output pin.
The comparator can provide its output to a device pin, acting as a replacement for an analog
comparator on the board, or it can be used to signal the application via interrupts to cause it to start
capturing a sample sequence.
®
The Stellaris Analog Comparators module has the following features:
■ Two independent integrated analog comparators
■ Configurable for output to drive an output pin or generate an interrupt
■ Compare external pin input to external pin input or to internal programmable voltage reference
■ Compare a test voltage against any one of these voltages
– An individual external reference voltage
– A shared single external reference voltage
– A shared internal reference voltage

Signal Description
Table 13-1 on page 480 and Table 13-2 on page 480 list the external signals of the Analog Comparators
and describe the function of each. The Analog Comparator output signals are alternate functions
for some GPIO signals and default to be GPIO signals at reset. The column in the table below titled
"Pin Assignment" lists the possible GPIO pin placements for the Analog Comparator signals. The
AFSEL bit in the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register (page 266) should be set
to choose the Analog Comparator function. The positive and negative input signals are configured
by clearing the DEN bit in the GPIO Digital Enable (GPIODEN) register. For more information on
configuring GPIOs, see “General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)” on page 244.

Functional Description
Important: It is recommended that the Digital-Input enable (the GPIODEN bit in the GPIO module)
for the analog input pin be disabled to prevent excessive current draw from the I/O
pads.
The comparator compares the VIN- and VIN+ inputs to produce an output, VOUT.
VIN- < VIN+, VOUT = 1
VIN- > VIN+, VOUT = 0
As shown in Figure 13-2 on page 481, the input source for VIN- is an external input. In addition to
an external input, input sources for VIN+ can be the +ve input of comparator 0 or an internal reference.

ACCTL
A comparator is configured through two status/control registers (ACCTL and ACSTAT ). The internal
reference is configured through one control register (ACREFCTL). Interrupt status and control is
configured through three registers (ACMIS, ACRIS, and ACINTEN).
Typically, the comparator output is used internally to generate controller interrupts. It may also be
used to drive an external pin.
Important: The ASRCP bits in the ACCTLn register must be set before using the analog
comparators.
13.3.1
Internal Reference Programming
The structure of the internal reference is shown in Figure 13-3 on page 481. This is controlled by a
single configuration register (ACREFCTL). Table 13-3 on page 481 shows the programming options
to develop specific internal reference values, to compare an external voltage against a particular
voltage generated internally.

Initialization and Configuration
The following example shows how to configure an analog comparator to read back its output value
from an internal register.
1. Enable the analog comparator 0 clock by writing a value of 0x0010.0000 to the RCGC1 register
in the System Control module.
2. In the GPIO module, enable the GPIO port/pin associated with C0- as a GPIO input.
3. Configure the internal voltage reference to 1.65 V by writing the ACREFCTL register with the
value 0x0000.030C.
4. Configure comparator 0 to use the internal voltage reference and to not invert the output by
writing the ACCTL0 register with the value of 0x0000.040C.
5. Delay for some time.
6. Read the comparator output value by reading the ACSTAT0 register’s OVAL value.
Change the level of the signal input on C0- to see the OVAL value change.
13.5
Register Map
Table 13-4 on page 483 lists the comparator registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment
to the register’s address, relative to the Analog Comparator base address of 0x4003.C000.
Note that the analog comparator module clock must be enabled before the registers can be
programmed (see page 203). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the ADC module clock
is enabled before any ADC module registers are accessed.

Connections for Unused Signals
Table 15-9 on page 516 show how to handle signals for functions that are not used in a particular
system implementation for devices that are in a 100-pin LQFP package. Two options are shown in
the table: an acceptable practice and a preferred practice for reduced power consumption and
improved EMC characteristics. If a module is not used in a system, and its inputs are grounded, it
is important that the clock to the module is never enabled by setting the corresponding bit in the
RCGCx register.

Maximum current per output pins
Maximum input voltage on a non-power pin when the
microcontroller is unpowered
a. Voltages are measured with respect to GND.
Important: This device contains circuitry to protect the inputs against damage due to high-static
voltages or electric fields; however, it is advised that normal precautions be taken to
avoid application of any voltage higher than maximum-rated voltages to this
high-impedance circuit. Reliability of operation is enhanced if unused inputs are
connected to an appropriate logic voltage level (for example, either GND or VDD).
17.1.2
Recommended DC Operating Conditions
For special high-current applications, the GPIO output buffers may be used with the following
restrictions. With the GPIO pins configured as 8-mA output drivers, a total of four GPIO outputs may
be used to sink current loads up to 18 mA each. At 18-mA sink current loading, the VOL value is
specified as 1.2 V. The high-current GPIO package pins must be selected such that there are only
a maximum of two per side of the physical package or BGA pin group with the total number of
high-current GPIO outputs not exceeding four for the entire package.

a. Two simple 1:1 isolation transformers are required at the line interface. Transformers with integrated common-mode
chokes are recommended for exceeding FCC requirements. This table gives the recommended line transformer
characteristics.
Note:
The 100Base-TX amplitude specifications assume a transformer loss of 0.4 dB. For the
transmit line transformer with higher insertion losses, up to 1.2 dB of insertion loss can be
compensated by selecting the appropriate setting in the Transmit Amplitude Selection (TXO)
bits in the MR19 register.

Serial Flash Loader
A.1
Serial Flash Loader
®
The Stellaris serial flash loader is a preprogrammed flash-resident utility used to download code
to the flash memory of a device without the use of a debug interface. The serial flash loader uses
a simple packet interface to provide synchronous communication with the device. The flash loader
runs off the crystal and does not enable the PLL, so its speed is determined by the crystal used.
The two serial interfaces that can be used are the UART0 and SSI0 interfaces. For simplicity, both
the data format and communication protocol are identical for both serial interfaces.
A.2
Interfaces
Once communication with the flash loader is established via one of the serial interfaces, that interface
is used until the flash loader is reset or new code takes over. For example, once you start
communicating using the SSI port, communications with the flash loader via the UART are disabled
until the device is reset.
A.2.1
UART
The Universal Asynchronous Receivers/Transmitters (UART) communication uses a fixed serial
format of 8 bits of data, no parity, and 1 stop bit. The baud rate used for communication is
automatically detected by the flash loader and can be any valid baud rate supported by the host
and the device. The auto detection sequence requires that the baud rate should be no more than
1/32 the crystal frequency of the board that is running the serial flash loader. This is actually the
same as the hardware limitation for the maximum baud rate for any UART on a Stellaris device
which is calculated as follows:
Max Baud Rate = System Clock Frequency / 16
In order to determine the baud rate, the serial flash loader needs to determine the relationship
between its own crystal frequency and the baud rate. This is enough information for the flash loader
to configure its UART to the same baud rate as the host. This automatic baud-rate detection allows
the host to use any valid baud rate that it wants to communicate with the device.
The method used to perform this automatic synchronization relies on the host sending the flash
loader two bytes that are both 0x55. This generates a series of pulses to the flash loader that it can
use to calculate the ratios needed to program the UART to match the host’s baud rate. After the
host sends the pattern, it attempts to read back one byte of data from the UART. The flash loader
returns the value of 0xCC to indicate successful detection of the baud rate. If this byte is not received
after at least twice the time required to transfer the two bytes, the host can resend another pattern
of 0x55, 0x55, and wait for the 0xCC byte again until the flash loader acknowledges that it has
received a synchronization pattern correctly. For example, the time to wait for data back from the
flash loader should be calculated as at least 2*(20(bits/sync)/baud rate (bits/sec)). For a baud rate
of 115200, this time is 2*(20/115200) or 0.35 ms.
A.2.2
SSI
The Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) port also uses a fixed serial format for communications,
with the framing defined as Motorola format with SPH set to 1 and SPO set to 1. See “Frame
Formats” on page 395 in the SSI chapter for more information on formats for this transfer protocol.
Like the UART, this interface has hardware requirements that limit the maximum speed that the SSI
clock can run. This allows the SSI clock to be at most 1/12 the crystal frequency of the board running

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Serial Flash Loader
the flash loader. Since the host device is the master, the SSI on the flash loader device does not
need to determine the clock as it is provided directly by the host.
A.3
Packet Handling
All communications, with the exception of the UART auto-baud, are done via defined packets that
are acknowledged (ACK) or not acknowledged (NAK) by the devices. The packets use the same
format for receiving and sending packets, including the method used to acknowledge successful or
unsuccessful reception of a packet.
A.3.1
Packet Format
All packets sent and received from the device use the following byte-packed format.
struct
{
unsigned char ucSize;
unsigned char ucCheckSum;
unsigned char Data[];
};
A.3.2
ucSize
The first byte received holds the total size of the transfer including
the size and checksum bytes.
ucChecksum
This holds a simple checksum of the bytes in the data buffer only.
The algorithm is Data[0]+Data[1]+…+ Data[ucSize-3].
Data
This is the raw data intended for the device, which is formatted in
some form of command interface. There should be ucSize–2
bytes of data provided in this buffer to or from the device.
Sending Packets
The actual bytes of the packet can be sent individually or all at once; the only limitation is that
commands that cause flash memory access should limit the download sizes to prevent losing bytes
during flash programming. This limitation is discussed further in the section that describes the serial
flash loader command, COMMAND_SEND_DATA (see “COMMAND_SEND_DATA
(0x24)” on page 536).
Once the packet has been formatted correctly by the host, it should be sent out over the UART or
SSI interface. Then the host should poll the UART or SSI interface for the first non-zero data returned
from the device. The first non-zero byte will either be an ACK (0xCC) or a NAK (0x33) byte from
the device indicating the packet was received successfully (ACK) or unsuccessfully (NAK). This
does not indicate that the actual contents of the command issued in the data portion of the packet
were valid, just that the packet was received correctly.
A.3.3
Receiving Packets
The flash loader sends a packet of data in the same format that it receives a packet. The flash loader
may transfer leading zero data before the first actual byte of data is sent out. The first non-zero byte
is the size of the packet followed by a checksum byte, and finally followed by the data itself. There
is no break in the data after the first non-zero byte is sent from the flash loader. Once the device
communicating with the flash loader receives all the bytes, it must either ACK or NAK the packet to
indicate that the transmission was successful. The appropriate response after sending a NAK to
the flash loader is to resend the command that failed and request the data again. If needed, the
host may send leading zeros before sending down the ACK/NAK signal to the flash loader, as the
534

Texas Instruments-Production Data
®
Stellaris LM3S6420 Microcontroller
flash loader only accepts the first non-zero data as a valid response. This zero padding is needed
by the SSI interface in order to receive data to or from the flash loader.
A.4
Commands
The next section defines the list of commands that can be sent to the flash loader. The first byte of
the data should always be one of the defined commands, followed by data or parameters as
determined by the command that is sent.
A.4.1
COMMAND_PING (0X20)
This command simply accepts the command and sets the global status to success. The format of
the packet is as follows:
Byte[0] = 0x03;
Byte[1] = checksum(Byte[2]);
Byte[2] = COMMAND_PING;
The ping command has 3 bytes and the value for COMMAND_PING is 0x20 and the checksum of one
byte is that same byte, making Byte[1] also 0x20. Since the ping command has no real return status,
the receipt of an ACK can be interpreted as a successful ping to the flash loader.
A.4.2
COMMAND_GET_STATUS (0x23)
This command returns the status of the last command that was issued. Typically, this command
should be sent after every command to ensure that the previous command was successful or to
properly respond to a failure. The command requires one byte in the data of the packet and should
be followed by reading a packet with one byte of data that contains a status code. The last step is
to ACK or NAK the received data so the flash loader knows that the data has been read.
Byte[0] = 0x03
Byte[1] = checksum(Byte[2])
Byte[2] = COMMAND_GET_STATUS
A.4.3
COMMAND_DOWNLOAD (0x21)
This command is sent to the flash loader to indicate where to store data and how many bytes will
be sent by the COMMAND_SEND_DATA commands that follow. The command consists of two 32-bit
values that are both transferred MSB first. The first 32-bit value is the address to start programming
data into, while the second is the 32-bit size of the data that will be sent. This command also triggers
an erase of the full area to be programmed so this command takes longer than other commands.
This results in a longer time to receive the ACK/NAK back from the board. This command should
be followed by a COMMAND_GET_STATUS to ensure that the Program Address and Program size
are valid for the device running the flash loader.
The format of the packet to send this command is a follows:
Byte[0]
Byte[1]

A.4.4
COMMAND_SEND_DATA (0x24)
This command should only follow a COMMAND_DOWNLOAD command or another
COMMAND_SEND_DATA command if more data is needed. Consecutive send data commands
automatically increment address and continue programming from the previous location. The caller
should limit transfers of data to a maximum 8 bytes of packet data to allow the flash to program
successfully and not overflow input buffers of the serial interfaces. The command terminates
programming once the number of bytes indicated by the COMMAND_DOWNLOAD command has been
received. Each time this function is called it should be followed by a COMMAND_GET_STATUS to
ensure that the data was successfully programmed into the flash. If the flash loader sends a NAK
to this command, the flash loader does not increment the current address to allow retransmission
of the previous data.
Byte[0] = 11
Byte[1] = checksum(Bytes[2:10])
Byte[2] = COMMAND_SEND_DATA
Byte[3] = Data[0]
Byte[4] = Data[1]
Byte[5] = Data[2]
Byte[6] = Data[3]
Byte[7] = Data[4]
Byte[8] = Data[5]
Byte[9] = Data[6]
Byte[10] = Data[7]
A.4.5
COMMAND_RUN (0x22)
This command is used to tell the flash loader to execute from the address passed as the parameter
in this command. This command consists of a single 32-bit value that is interpreted as the address
to execute. The 32-bit value is transmitted MSB first and the flash loader responds with an ACK
signal back to the host device before actually executing the code at the given address. This allows
the host to know that the command was received successfully and the code is now running.

COMMAND_RESET (0x25)
This command is used to tell the flash loader device to reset. This is useful when downloading a
new image that overwrote the flash loader and wants to start from a full reset. Unlike the
COMMAND_RUN command, this allows the initial stack pointer to be read by the hardware and set
up for the new code. It can also be used to reset the flash loader if a critical error occurs and the
host device wants to restart communication with the flash loader.

The flash loader responds with an ACK signal back to the host device before actually executing the
software reset to the device running the flash loader. This allows the host to know that the command
was received successfully and the part will be reset.
