The LaunchPad platform by Texas Instruments features 16- and 32-bits MCUs, and includes

The IDE is Energia MT, a fork of the Arduino IDE.

Refer to the procedure Install the Energia tools to install the Energia IDE, the drivers for Linux, and the debugging tools.

Warning

Energia is no longer maintained. The last release 1.8.10E23 was published in December 2019.

The official tools from Texas Instruments include Code Composer Studio , based on Eclipse, and the SimpleLink SDK.

Energia MT, or Energia Multi-Tasking, brings RTOS and is based on TI-RTOS, the real-time operating system from Texas Instruments. Energia MT runs on the 32-bit boards.

Refer to the procedure Develop multi-tasks projects to learn more about the RTOS implementation.

Check the tests

The test protocol includes building and linking, uploading and running a sketch on the boards using those versions of the IDEs and plug-ins. Boards packages are versioned but not dated.
