1 Introduction
This document provides a quick start guide on using the CC3100 Booster Pack Rev 2.0B .
This is not applicable to other revisions of the board.
2 Overview
The CC3100 Booster Pack is a board designed to interface with the TI standard Launchpad
including the Tiva-C series and the MSP430 value line launchpads. In addition to the
launchpads, there is support available to mate the board with a FTDI Debug board to
interface directly to a PC host using USB cable. A picture of the board is presented below
with the main components marked.

3.3 Jumper and connector information
3.3.1 2x20 pin connector
The signal assignment on the 2x20 pin connector is shown below. The convention of J1..J4
is replaced with P1…P4 to avoid confusion with the actual board reference.
Outer row connectors
Inner row connectors
Note : All signals are 3.3V COMS logic levels and is referred w.r.t. CC3100 IC. For e.g.
UART1_TX is an output from the CC3100.
TI Proprietary Information - Strictly Private
For the SPI lines, the CC3100 always acts like a slave.
Reference
Usage
Comments
J5
USB connector
For powering the booster pack when
mated with a Launchpad
J6
Power selection
Choose the power supply from the
Lauchpad or the on-board USB.
J6 (1-2) power from MCU Launchpad
J6 (2-3) power from on-board USB using
3.3V LDO
J24
Current
measurement
Voltage is measured across the 0.1 Ohm
resistor using a voltmeter.
Can be used for IDLE and Active
currents.
For Hibernate currents, remove R42 and
connect a ammeter across J24. Range
(< 100uA)
J23
OOB Demo
Closed : GPIO_12 is hard pulled to Vcc
Open : GPIO_12 is pulled to GND using
33K resistor.
J22
RESET
Closed : Routes the RESET signal from
the MCU Launchpad to the CC3100.
Open : The RESET is cut off from the
MCU. (Used with MSP430 boards where
RESET line is muxed with TEST)
J8,J7
Booster pack header
2x10 pins each connected to the
Launchpad.
J25
Flash power
Power the top die flash of the CC3100Z
