CC3100 BoosterPack

The CC3100 SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® solution provides the flexibility to add Wi-Fi to any microcontroller (MCU). This user guide explains the various configurations of the CC3100 hardware BoosterPack™. This internet on a chip solution contains everything that you need to easily create IoT solutions – security, quick connection, cloud support and more. The CC3100 BoosterPack can be used in several ways. First, it can be connected to a TI MCU LaunchPad (software examples provided for MSP-EXP430F5529LP). Second, it can be plugged into a CC31XXEMUBOOST1 board and connected to a PC for MCU emulation. Finally, it can be connected onto an adapter board (MCU-ADAPT), which allows customers to use CC3100BOOST with additional platforms beyond TI LaunchPad.

This kit comes in three configurations:

CC3100BOOST + CC31XXEMUBOOST + MSP-EXP430F5529LP – Able to run all software in SDK, and develop on MSP430F5529 MCU
CC3100BOOST + CC31XXEMUBOOST – Used for any CC3100 development
CC3100BOOST – If extra CC3100 BoosterPacks are needed, and the user already has CC31XXEMUBOOST
