CTS (if hardware flow control is to be used)
•
RTS (if hardware flow control is to be used)
This wiring can be done either with jumper wires or by designing the board with a connector that plugs into
the isolation jumper block.

BoosterPack Pinout
The 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 LaunchPad kits like the
. This allows some subset of functionality of 40-pin BoosterPack modules to be used
with 20-pin LaunchPad kits.
While most BoosterPack modules are compliant with the standard, some are not. The MSP-
EXP430FR6989 LaunchPad is compatible with all 40-pin BoosterPack modules that are compliant with the
standard. If the reseller or owner of the BoosterPack does not explicitly indicate compatibility with the
MSP-EXP430FR6989 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 MSP430FR6989 device pin function configuration in software. More information about compatibility
can also be found at
.
shows the 40-pin pinout of the MSP430FR6989 LaunchPad.
Note that software configuration of the pin functions plays a role in compatibility. The LaunchPad side of
the dashed line in
shows all of the functions for which the MSP430FR6989 device pins can be
configured. This can also be seen in the MSP430FR6989 data sheet. The BoosterPack side of the dashed
line shows the standard. The LaunchPad function whose color matches the BoosterPack function shows
the specific software-configurable function by which the MSP430FR6989 LaunchPad adheres to the
standard.
