Hardware Description

2.3 Connecting a BoosterPack

A compatible BoosterPack can be stacked on top of the LaunchPad using the 2x20 pin connectors. Note

that the connectors do not have a “key” to prevent the misalignment of the pins or reverse connection.

Ensure that Vcc and 5V pins, are aligned with the BoosterPack header pins. On the CC3200 LaunchPad,

a small white triangle symbol is provided near Pin-1 (see Figure 3) to orient all BoosterPacks. This same

marking, provided on compatible BoosterPacks, needs to be aligned before powering up the boards.

2.4 Jumpers, switches and LEDs

2.4.1 JTAG Headers

The headers are provided on the board to isolate the CC3200 device from the mounted FTDI JTAG

emulator. These jumpers are shorted by default when the board is shipped from TI. To connect an

external emulator, remove these jumpers and place the external emulator on the pins closer to the

CC3200 device.
