INTRODUCTION
MSP430-5438STK development board provides easy way for developing and
prototyping with MSP430F5438 mixed signal microcontroller produced by Texas
Instruments.
This powerful microcontroller supports various serial interfaces such as USB
Device, UART, SPI. In addition you will find also audio input and output, debug
interface, LCD, UEXT, two Extensions, mini SD/MMC, User Joystick, User Leds,
Reset button. All this allows you to build a diversity of powerful applications to be
used in a wide range of situations.

ELECTROSTATIC WARNING
The MSP430-5438STK board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. The
board must not be subject to high electrostatic potentials. General practice for
working with static sensitive devices should be applied when working with this
board.
BOARD USE REQUIREMENTS
Cables: The cable you will need depends on the programmer/debugger you use. If
you use MSP430-JTAG, you will need LPT cable, if you use MSP430-JTAG-TINY or
MSP-JTAG-ISO, you will need 1.8m A-B USB cable, if you use MSP430-JTAG-RF,
you can connect it to the USB port of your computer, or via USB cable type A –
female.
Hardware: Programmer/Debugger – one of our Programmers – MSP430-JTAG,
MSP430-JTAG-TINY, MSP430-JTAG-ISO, or MSP430-JTAG-RF.
Software: MSP430 KickStart software.
