1.4 First Steps: Out-of-Box Experience
An easy way to get familiar with the EVM is by using its preprogrammed out-of-box code. It demonstrates
some key features of the LaunchPad development kit from a user level, showing how to use the
pushbutton switches together with onboard LEDs and basic serial communication with a computer.
For a more detailed explanation of the out-of-box demo, see Section 3.
1.5 Next Steps: Looking Into the Provided Code
To get started, you need an integrated development environment (IDE) to explore and start editing the
code examples. See Section 4 for more information on IDEs and where to download them.
The out-of-box source code and more code examples can be downloaded from the MSP-EXP432P401R
tool folder. Find what code examples are available and more details about each example in Section 3. All
code is licensed under BSD, and TI encourages reuse and modifications to fit specific needs.
