I wanted to try and use a 20 MHz crystal on my microcontroller, and reading the microprocessor family datasheet, I believed this all to be possible. Only now, when I actually have everything in the software ready and the parts I need, did I notice that the P5 pins needed for external clock signals are missing on the launchpad. For the first time, I came across the Launchpad's microcontroller board datasheet, and section 2.2.5 explains that the XT2 pins have a 4 MHz ceramic resonator built onto them. Is there any way for me to use my external crystal without buying a different product?
I think I already know the answer, I just want to confirm this before I kick myself too much. I guess this is what I get for not reading thoroughly. :(
