Part Number: BOOST5545ULP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C1294XL, , CC2640, CC2650

Will the C5545 Booster Pack (BOOST5545ULP) works with the Tiva C Series TM4C1294 LaunchPad (EK-TM4C1294XL)?

    Hi,

    Take a look at the booster pack description:
     "The Booster Pack features C5545 ULP DSP at 100MHz with plenty of interfaces, such as I2S, SPI, USB2 and more. It has an on-board CC2650 BLE radio for easy connectivity and interface to MSP432 Launch Pad for easy expansion. to read as follows: It has an on-board SimpleLink™ Bluetooth® low energy CC2640 wireless microcontroller for easy connectivity which interfaces to the MSP432™ MCU LaunchPad™ development kit for easy expansion."

    Not sure what connection are you trying to establish but you should be able to use SPI or USB bus to communicate between the devices.


    Best Regards,

    Thank you Yordan

    Your're right in your comments, what happens is that I own a Tiva C series TM4C1294 LaunchPad board which uses an ARM Cortex M-4 CPU - like the MSP432 LaunchPad, and I don't want to buy this another board, I want to use the LaunchPad that I have at hand.

    I compare the pinout of the BoosterPack connectors and it seems to be the same (also I'm sure that TI made it compatible for all BoosterPacks) but it's not written, so I need to verify.

    Best regards,

    I cannot add much to what Yordan already said. The EK-TM4C1294XL launchpad is compatible hardware wise for power, ground, reset, UART and I2C. There is no I2S interface on the EK-TM4C1294XL. However, you still might prefer spending the $20 for the MSP432P401R so that you are using SimpleLink software on both platforms instead of TivaWare on one and SimpleLink on the other.
