2.7 BoosterPack Plug-in Module Pinout

The LaunchPad development kit adheres to the 40-pin LaunchPad development kit pinout standard. This standard was created to aid compatibility between LaunchPad development kits and BoosterPack plug-in modules across the TI ecosystem.

While most BoosterPack plug-in modules are compliant with the standard, some are not. The LP-MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad development kit is compatible with all 40-pin BoosterPack plug-in modules that are compliant with the standard. If the reseller or owner of the BoosterPack plug-in module does not explicitly indicate compatibility with the LP-MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad development kit, compare the schematic of the candidate BoosterPack plug-in module with the LaunchPad development kit to ensure compatibility. Keep in mind that sometimes conflicts can be resolved by changing the MSP430FR2476 device pin function configuration in software.

To check the compatibility of a BoosterPack plug-in module with the LaunchPad development kit of your choice, use the BoosterPack Checker Tool. This allows you to select any LaunchPad development kit that TI offers and determine its compatibility with any number of BoosterPack plug-in modules that we offer. You can also add your own BoosterPack plug-in module to check its compatibility as you prototype that next design.

Figure 10 shows the 40-pin pinout of the MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad development kit.

Note that software's configuration of the pin functions plays a role in compatibility. The LaunchPad development kit side of the dashed line shows only the applicable function for conforming to the standard. However, each pin has other functionality that can be configured by the software. See the MSP430FR2476 device data sheet for more details on individual pin functions.
