2 Hardware Description

The Ethernet LaunchPad development kit includes an MSP432E401YPDT microcontroller with an integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC and PHY. This advanced Arm Cortex-M4F MCU has a wide range of peripherals that are made available to users through the onboard accessories and the BoosterPack plug-in module connectors. This chapter explains how those peripherals operate and interface to the microcontroller.

Figure 2 shows a high-level block diagram of the Ethernet LaunchPad development kit.
