1 Board Overview

The SimpleLink Ethernet MSP432E401Y Microcontroller LaunchPad Development Kit is a low-cost evaluation platform for SimpleLink Arm Cortex-M4F-based Ethernet microcontrollers. The Ethernet LaunchPad development kit design highlights the MSP432E401Y microcontroller with its on-chip 10/100 Ethernet MAC and PHY, USB 2.0, hibernation module, motion control pulse-width modulation, and a multitude of simultaneous serial connectivity. The Ethernet LaunchPad development kit also features two user switches, four user LEDs, dedicated reset and wake switches, a breadboard expansion option and two independent BoosterPack™ XL expansion connectors. The preprogrammed quick start application on the Ethernet LaunchPad development kit also enables remote monitoring and control of the evaluation board from an internet browser anywhere in the world. The web interface is provided by a third party, Exosite. Each Ethernet LaunchPad development kit is enabled on the Exosite platform allowing users to create and customize their own Internet-of-Things applications.

Figure 1 shows the Ethernet LaunchPad development kit with key features highlighted.
