1.2 Using the Ethernet LaunchPad Development Kit
The recommended steps for using the Ethernet LaunchPad development kit are:
- Run the Out of Box demo software. For detailed instruction on how to run the out of box demo, visit this SimpleLink Academy tutorial.
- Take the first step towards developing your own applications. The Ethernet LaunchPad development kit is supported by the SimpleLink MSP432E4 SDK. After installing the SDK, look in the following installation directories for bare metal and rtos based examples
- examples\nortos\MSP_EXP432E401Y\
- examples\rtos\MSP_EXP432E401Y\
See Section 3 for more details about software development.
- Experiment with BoosterPack plug-in modules. This development kit conforms to the latest revision of the BoosterPack plug-in module pinout standard. It has two independent BoosterPack plug-in module connections to enable a multitude of expansion opportunities.
- Customize and integrate the hardware to suit your end application. This development kit can be used as a reference for building your own custom circuits based on SimpleLink microcontrollers or as a foundation for expansion with your custom BoosterPack plug-in module or other circuit. This manual can serve as a starting point for this endeavor.
- More Resources. See the TI MCU LaunchPad web page for more information and available BoosterPack modules.
