MSP430F5438 is a Experimenter Board development platform for the latest generation MSP430 MCUs. It features a 100 pin socket which supports the MSP430F5438 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.
