At the core of this innovative approach lies the utilisation of network connectivity in lieu of physical flash memory. Leveraging the TM4C1294NCPDT microcontroller, specifically the “TM4C1294 Connected LaunchPad – EK-TM4C1294XL” development board, serves as the hardware foundation. With integrated USB and Ethernet connectors, the board streamlines the implementation process. Peripherals such as UART, USB, Ethernet PHY, and timer peripherals are meticulously initialized to establish the groundwork for subsequent operations.
The software architecture comprises the LWIP stack for TCP/IP functionality and the USBLIB library for USB stack implementation. These stacks facilitate seamless communication between the USB device, host PC, and cloud server. The firmware application, developed atop the initialized stacks, orchestrates the behaviour of the USB device, ensuring data transmission and retrieval adhere to predefined protocols.
