2.7 BoosterPack Pinout

The MSP‑EXP432P401R LaunchPad adheres to the 40-pin LaunchPad pinout standard. A standard was

created to aid compatibility between LaunchPad and BoosterPack tools across the TI ecosystem.

The 40-pin standard is compatible with the 20-pin standard that is used by other LaunchPads like the

MSP‑EXP430FR4133. This allows some subset of functionality of 40-pin BoosterPacks to be used with

20-pin LaunchPads.

While most BoosterPacks are compliant with the standard, some are not. The MSP‑EXP432P401R

LaunchPad is compatible with all 20-pin and 40-pin BoosterPacks that are compliant with the standard. If

the reseller or owner of the BoosterPack does not explicitly indicate compatibility with the

MSP‑EXP432P401R LaunchPad, 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 MSP432P401R device pin function configuration in software. More information about compatibility can

also be found at http://www.ti.com/launchpad.

Figure 11 shows the 40-pin pinout of the MSP‑EXP432P401R LaunchPad.

Note that software configuration of the pin functions plays a role in compatibility. The MSP‑EXP432P401R

LaunchPad side of the dashed line in Figure 11 shows all of the functions for which the MSP432P401R

device's pins can be configured. This can also be seen in the MSP432P401R data sheet. The

BoosterPack side of the dashed line shows the standard. The MSP432P401R function whose color

matches the BoosterPack function shows the specific software-configurable function by which the

MSP‑EXP432P401R LaunchPad adheres to the standard.
