Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100MODBOOST, MSP-EXP430FR5969, CC31XXEMUBOOST, MSP-EXP430F5529LP, CC3100

Do I need to get the bundled  MSP-EXP430FR5969 or can I use the  LAUNCHXL-F28377S to host the CC3100MODBOOST + CC31XXEMUBOOST? Goal is to add wireless adapter to LAUNCHXL-F28377S.

    It is recommended to use one of the MSP430 platforms (such as the MSP-EXP430FR5969) with the CC3100 BoosterPacks because the existing host driver can support it without needing to be ported.  That being said, if this is your first time using the CC3100 the MSP-EXP430F5529LP would probably be a better choice because there are more pre-made examples for it in the SDK.

    The CC31XXEMUBOOST is just an emulator and can be used to write to the SFLASH on the CC3100MODBOOST or to use your PC as a temporary host for the CC3100 during development.

    Unfortunately, there are challenges to getting up and running quickly with an F28377S host due to the C2000 architecture. Please refer to this post for more details:

    I ordered the MSP-EXP430FR5969 as well as I was afraid of what you replied. The char size difference is scary. I will try but it would be nice to have Launchpad port on C2000 for the CC3100MODBOOST as some kind of networking is sometimes needed on a control application.
