1.4.1 Connecting to the Computer

Connect the LaunchPad development kit using the included USB cable to a computer. A green power LED should illuminate. For proper operation, drivers are needed. TI recommends installing the TI Code Composer Studio IDE or IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430 IDE. Drivers are also available at ti.com/MSPdrivers.
