2.9.1 MSP-EXP432P401R Rev 1.0 (Black) LaunchPad Development Kit
As shown in Table 3, this was the initially released LaunchPad development kit, with XMS432P401R Rev
B silicon. Connecting any debugger to this version of the MSP432 MCU will generate a warning telling the
user to update their silicon. TI will continue to support this board for the foreseeable future. However,
upgrading to the latest LaunchPad development kit gets you all the silicon upgrades and the final
production version of Driver Library in ROM.
In addition to the hardware being different, the device revision also changes with the LaunchPad
development kit revisions. Because of this, you must download a software package that matches your
exact hardware. The software example files for older versions of the LaunchPad development kit are
available from MSP‑EXP432P401R Software Examples – navigate to previous release versions according
to Table 3.
2.9.2 MSP-EXP432P401R Rev 2.0 (Red) LaunchPad Development Kit
As shown in Table 3, this is the updated LaunchPad development kit for the production silicon, with
XMS432P401R Rev C or MSP432P401R Rev C silicon. In addition to the latest silicon, several updates
were made to the LaunchPad development kit hardware to enhance the user experience (see
Section 2.9.2.1).
