1 Introduction

1.1 CC3100 Module BoosterPack (CC3100MODBOOST)

Add Wi-Fi to any low-cost, low-power microcontroller (MCU) for Internet of Things (IoT) applications using the CC3100 Module BoosterPack (CC3100MODBOOST), which hosts the CC3100 module (CC3100MOD). The CC3100MOD is FCC, IC, CE, and Wi-Fi certified. It integrates all protocols for Wi-Fi and Internet, greatly minimizing host MCU software requirements. With built-in security protocols, the CC3100MOD solution provides a robust and simple security experience. The CC3100MOD integrates the serial flash, RF filter, crystal, and all required passive components.
This document explains the various configurations, usage, and versatility of the CC3100MODBOOST. First, it can be connected to a TI MCU LaunchPad (provided examples for MSPEXP430F5529LP). Second, it can be plugged into a CC31XXEMUBOOST board and connected to a PC for MCU emulation. The CC3100MODBOOST firmware updates requires either the CC31XXEMUBOOST board, or the micro­controller over-the-air(OTA) software and access to a server. Finally, the exposed signals on the 20 pin connector provide an interface to an additional microcontroller or platforms beyond TI's LaunchPads. The CC3100MODBOOST is a complete platform solution, including various tools and software, sample applications, user and programming guides, reference designs, and the TI E2E™ support community.
