2.7 BoosterPack Plug-in Module Pinout

The LaunchPad development kit adheres to the 20-pin LaunchPad pinout standard. A standard was created to aid compatibility between the LaunchPad development kit and BoosterPack plug-in module tools across the TI ecosystem.

The 40-pin standard is compatible with the 20-pin standard that is used by other LaunchPad development kit's like the MSP-EXP430FR6989. This allows some subset of functionality of 40-pin BoosterPack modules to be used with 20-pin LaunchPad development kits.

While most BoosterPack plug-in modules are compliant with the standard, some are not. The MSP-EXP430FR2311 MCU LaunchPad development kit is compatible with all 20-pin BoosterPacks 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-EXP430FR2311 MCU LaunchPad development kit, compare the schematic of the candidate BoosterPack with the LaunchPad to ensure compatibility. Keep in mind that sometimes conflicts can be resolved by changing the MSP430FR2311 MCU pin function configuration in software. More information about compatibility can also be found at www.ti.com/launchpad.

Figure 9 shows the 20-pin pinout of the MSP430FR2311 MCU LaunchPad development kit.

Note that software configuration of the pin functions plays a role in compatibility. The LaunchPad development kit side of the dashed line in Figure 9 shows all of the functions for which the MSP430FR2311 MCU's pins can be configured. This can also be seen in the MSP430FR2311 MCU data sheet. The BoosterPack plug-in module side of the dashed line shows the standard. The LaunchPad development kit function whose color matches the BoosterPack plug-in module function shows the specific software-configurable function by which the MSP430FR2311 LaunchPad development kit adheres to the standard.
