The TM4C is a development board made by TI for embedded systems development on the ARM Cortex M4 platform. In other words, they took a ARM Cortex M4, and slapped it onto a PCB.
The ARM Cortex M4 uses a Harvard Architecture.
In order to run a program, instructions are first loaded from a separate read-only instruction memory (ROM). Those instructions then can store data into a separate data memory (RAM).
The ARM Cortex M4 is a single-core processor that runs at up to 80MHz, with 32kb of RAM and 256kb of ROM. This places it as a mid-power embedded device with a respectable amount of memory and processing power, far out of reach of computer vision and #bigdata.
