MSP430FR2355 LaunchPad™ Development Kit (MSP
‑
EXP430FR2355)
While most BoosterPack plug-in modules are compliant with the standard, some are not. The MSP-
EXP430FR2355 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 MSP-EXP430FR2355 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 MSP430FR2355
device pin function configuration in software.
Figure 9. BoosterPack Checker Tool
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 we
offer 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 MSP430FR2355 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
MSP430FR2355 device data sheet for more details on individual pin functions.
