Unable to blink LED on TM4C123G?

My TI Tiva ARM program is not working on TM4C123G. Using board EK TM4C123GXL. Program doesn't blink on board RGB LEDs. I am able to run other example program to check the LEDs, this program is from textbook TI TIVA ARM PROGRAMMING FOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS. Need help to debug this program. Thanks

Code:

/*  p2.4.c: Toggling a single LED

/*  This program turns on the red LED and toggles the blue LED 0.5 sec on and 0.5 sec off. */

#include "TM4C123GH6PM.h"

void delayMs(int n);

int main(void)
{

    /* enable clock to GPIOF at clock gating control register */
    SYSCTL->RCGCGPIO |= 0x20;
    /* enable the GPIO pins for the LED (PF3, 2 1) as output */
    GPIOF->DIR = 0x0E;
    /* enable the GPIO pins for digital function */
    GPIOF->DEN = 0x0E;
    /* turn on red LED only and leave it on */
    GPIOF->DATA = 0x02;
    
    while(1)
    {      
        GPIOF->DATA |= 4;    /* turn on blue LED */
        delayMs(500);

        GPIOF->DATA &= ~4;   /* turn off blue LED */
        delayMs(500); 
    }
}

/* delay n milliseconds (16 MHz CPU clock) */
void delayMs(int n)
{
    int i, j;
    for(i = 0 ; i < n; i++)
        for(j = 0; j < 3180; j++)
        {}  /* do nothing for 1 ms */
}

Solution

  • It looks like some issue with the compiler version optimization. Reverted back to v5. enter image description here
