LAUNCHXL-F28379D: Custom PCB Programming Help

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28379D

Hello guys,

I am a university student and we are currently prototyping with the LAUNCHXL-F28379D Launchpad. We will soon be creating a custom PCB for our design and we were wondering how we should go about programming it on a custom PCB?

The launchpad has an onboard debugger, but it doesn't appear to have breakout pins for JTAG as the MSP432 launchpad does. We have seen other students program MSP432's on their custom PCBs using the MSP432 launchpad. Is this possible for the F28379D Launchpad to program a custom PCB with an F28379D on it?

Any guidance would be helpful!

Thank you,

  • Hi Raymond,

    You can include headers on your custom PCB for external JTAG programming/debugging. See section 5.9.5 "Emulation/JTAG" of the device datasheet, linked below.

    Yes, you can use the debugger on the MSP432 LP (XDS110 I believe) to program and debug a F28379D, assuming you have the correct signals brought out to headers on your board.

    Best,
