I knew about the UART, default baud rate, and decoding the NMEA string from reading the experience code. I was just confused on which pins I definitely had to wire and didn't have to wire from the tc6000 document to get things working.

I have looked into the user experience code, which is made for the MSP430F5529 Experimenter
