The Educational BoosterPack plug-in module MKII adheres to the 40-pin LaunchPad development kit and BoosterPack plug-in module pinout standard (see Figure 2-2). A standard was created to aid compatibility between LaunchPad development kits and BoosterPack plug-in modules across the TI ecosystem.
The 40-pin standard is compatible with the 20-pin standard that is used by other LaunchPad development kits like the MSP-EXP430G2. This allows for 20-pin LaunchPad development kits to be used with 40-pin BoosterPack plug-in modules with some limited functionality.
The BOOSTXL-EDUMKII supports BoosterPack plug-in module stacking with its male and female BoosterPack plug-in module headers. See how many BoosterPack plug-in modules you can stack onto your LaunchPad development kit to add more functionality like wireless and battery power.
