Buring Arduino bootloader in ARM CORTEX M4

The Arduino is a very easy-to-use IDE and I therefore want to upload a bootloader of Arduino in the ARM CORTEX M4 microcontroller 32bit. Is it possible to do that?? If it is possible then how can I upload such a bootloader?
Also is there any easy-to-use programming IDE for such controllers as programming them is difficult normally?

Which ARM Cortex M4?

There are Arduino bootloaders for a number of microcontrollers using that CPU, but bootloaders are device specific.

I am looking for this processor. Till now for 32 bit I could find the Arduino DUE chip whose bootloader is there. Can you share a link where I could find others?

From the Arduino IDE you can go to the " install boards" menu and see what is available. Aside from the microchip/atmel products there is broad support for STM products including M4 devices. I'm not aware of such support from TI. There is a "launchpad" product from TI that was an Arduino derivative, but that was for their 16 bit MSP430 stuff and and I don't know how well it has been maintained.

"Launchpad" is TI's generic name for all their devboards

Were you thinking of Energia: https://energia.nu/

So a TI Tiva C

might be worth asking on the TI forum:

Indeed, thanks for the correction.

Also, it seems that was a community project rather than TI factory support.
