Hardware Description
2.1.7.2 BoosterPack 2
The second BoosterPack XL interface is located near the middle of the board. This interface is fully compliant with the BoosterPack standard and
adds features not covered by the BoosterPack standard that enable operation with additional BoosterPacks.
An additional analog signal is provided on the outer left header (X6-9). This signal can be used to monitor the touch panel on the popular Kentec
EB-LM4F120-L35 BoosterPack.
Using the jumpers JP4 and JP5, Controller Area Network (CAN) digital receive and transmit signals can be optionally routed to the BoosterPack 2
interface. The location of these signals is consistent with the CAN interface on the TM4C Series TM4C123G LaunchPad and the Stellaris
LM4F120 LaunchPad. In the default configuration, UART0 is used for the ICDI virtual UART and CAN is not present on the BoosterPack headers.
In this configuration, the ROM serial bootloader can be used over the ICDI virtual UART. When the jumpers are configured for CAN on the
BoosterPack, then UART2 must be used for the ICDI virtual UART.
To comply with both the original and the new BoosterPack standard, I2C is provided on both sides of the BoosterPack connection. Use of I2C on
the bottom left of the BoosterPack connection is highly encouraged where possible, to be in compliance with the new BoosterPack standard. To
provide I2C capability on the right side of the connector, per the original standard, two zero-ohm resistors (R19 and R20) are used to combine the
SPI and I2C signals. These signals are not shared with any other pins on the LaunchPad and therefore removal of these zero-ohm resistors
should not be required. Software should be certain that unused GPIO signals are configured as inputs.
Table 2-2 provides a complete listing of the BoosterPack pins and the GPIO alternate functions available at each pin. The TM4C129ENCPDT
GPIO register GPIOPCTL values are shown for each configuration. The headers in this table are labeled from left to right in ten pin columns. ‘A’
and ‘D’ make up the outer BoosterPack standard pins, ‘B’ and ‘C’ make up the inner BoosterPack XL standard pins.
