Introduction to MINI-M4 for Tiva™ C Series
Key features
Miniature and powerful development tool designed to work
as a standalone device or as a MCU card in DIP40 socket.
MINI-M4 for Tiva™ C Series is preprogrammed with USB HID
bootloader so it is not necessary to have an external programmer. If
you need to use an external programmer (like mikroProg™) attach it
to MINI-M4 for Tiva™ C Series via pads marked with PC0 (TCK/SWC),
PC1 (TMS/SWD), PC2 (TDI), PC3 (TDO) and RST#.

1. Programming with mikroBootloader
You can program the microcontroller with the bootloader that
is preprogrammed into the device by default. To transfer .hex
le from a PC to the MCU you need the bootloader software
(mikroBootloader USB HID) which can be downloaded from:
After the software is downloaded unzip it to the desired loca-
tion and start mikroBootloader USB HID software.

step 1 – Connecting MINI-M4
01
01
To start, connect the USB cable, or if already connected
press the Reset button on your MINI-M4 board. Click the
Connect button within 5s to enter the bootloader mode,
otherwise existing microcontroller program will execute.
