D5
Red
PWR Indication
ON, when the 3.3-V power is provided to the board.
D1
Yellow
nRESET
This LED indicates the state of the nRESET pin. If this LED is glowing, the device
is functional.
D6
Green
nHIB
This LED indicates the state of the nHIB pin. When the LED is OFF, the device is
in hibernate state.

J7
USB connector
For powering the booster pack when mated with a Launchpad. This is mandatory when using
“Z” devices. For example, CC3100HZ.
J8
Power selection
Choose the power supply from the Launchpad or the on-board USB.
J8 (1-2) power from MCU Launchpad
J8 (2-3) power from on-board USB using 3.3-V LDO
J6
Current
measurement
For Hibernate and LPDS currents, connect an ammeter across J26 : Range (<500 uA)
For Active current, mount an 0.1-
Ω
resistor on R42 and measure the voltage across the 0.1-
Ω
resistor using a voltmeter. Range (<50 mV peak-peak)
J5
OOB Demo
Closed: GPIO_12 is hard pulled to V
cc
Open: GPIO_12 is pulled to GND using 33K resistor.
J10, J9
Booster pack
header
2×10 pins each connected to the Launchpad.
J3
RF Test
Murata connector (MM8030-2610) for production line tests.
J2
RF Test
U.FL connector for conducted testing in the lab.

2x20 Pin Connector Assignment
The signal assignment on the 2×20 pin connector is shown in
. The convention of J1..J4 is
replaced with P1…P4 to avoid confusion with the actual board reference.
