2.2.9 MCU Debug Interface

The Arm® Cortex® M4F-based MCU - TM4C123GH6PMTR, is only used as a debug interface. The device is not mandatory for the hardware developers to integrate it into their design. The MCU hosts a USB 2.0 to I2C interface. The USB 2.0 interface is connected to a Microsoft® Windows® PC which runs a debug software for the TPS65994 to access and program the PD controller register.
