The MSP430F5438 Experimenter Board (MSP-EXP430F5438) is a development platform for the latest generation MSP430 MCUs. It features a 100-pin socket which supports the
MSP430F5438 (datasheet) and other devices with similar pinout. The socket allows for quick upgrades to newer devices or quick applications changes. It is compatible with
many TI low-power RF wireless evaluation modules such as the CC2520EMK. The Experimenter Board helps designers quickly learn and develop using the new F5xx MCUs, which provide the industry’s lowest active power consumption, more memory and leading integration for applications such as energy harvesting, wireless sensing and automatic metering infrastructure (AMI).
A TI Flash Emulation Tool, like the MSP-FET430UIF, is required to program and debug the MSP430 devices on the experimenter board.
Based on new MSP430F5438 MCU for ultra-low power designs that need enhanced functionality for energy harvesting, smart metering and wireless sensing applications
Fast low power wireless development with eZ430-RF2500 tool, out-of-the-box platform for Z-Stack Pro and support for various TI Low Power Wireless RF evaluation modules, which cover the sub-1GHz and 2.4GHz frequency bands
138x110 dot-matrix LCD for rich user interfaces and fun games
Multiple input/output options allow for fast system development: microphone,
push buttons, USB and a 3.5mm headphone jack for analog output
JTAG headers make the device accessible for programming and debugging as well as communication between the F5438 MCU and other external devices
Board design files are open source (SLAC228) and created using Eagle CAD software
The ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) classification for this tool will be the same as the included microcontrollers. To find ECCN information for a microcontroller, see the datasheet for that device.
