http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teZyF1IDtCM Not much info yet, just the price; a $4.99 kit. :clap: EDIT1: Found an LCD boosterpack for this board http://www.kentecdisplay.com/uploads/so ... ide_03

I just stumbled across TI's Stellaris Launchpad Tool Folder and found the User Guide: [tipdf]spmu289[/tipdf]   There are some PCB photos, schematics, block diagrams and alot of additional informatio

The Stellaris Launchpad is now available at the TI e-store for preorder! I ordered two of them, some ez430 targets and a v1.5 Launchpad for a total of ~24$ or 20

Now go and check attached image. Prepare for mind explosions...

 

I'm also looking forward to all the BP they mention.

 

Anaren ZigBee

Epson LCDC + Display

Kentec Display

Next Gen Olimex LED Matrix

 

Wireless EM

WiFi CC3000

Sensor-hub

 

Some should be usable with the MSP430 LP

 

Here is one more Kentec link (same company as OP link but different display)

Considering that the outside are designed to be msp launchpad compatible, every boosterpack should be compatible no?

 

Also, will this run linux? (of course it will, I mean, how likely is it to be made nicely like the beaglebones/boards)

All booster packs that use SPI are going to have a problem depending on which chip it was targeting. The MOSI and MISO pins are the opposite on boards with USI vs USCI. If you design your board for the g2452 it won't work with a g2553 chip if you want to use hardware SPI.

 

So no, just because you can physically jam one socket into the other doesn't really mean they are compatible. The booster pack designer has to make sure they provide some form of jumper to allow you to select the proper socket to pin mapping.

The BPs would be compatible, the software wouldn't. A msp booster on the stellaris or piccolo launchpads would need new targeted code anyway, and with the benefits in processing and code space power, software spi/i2c compatibility on any pin necessary would be the way to go.

Says you.

 

I'd prefer that the hardware have some sense of the software that will use it. Designing the pins so the software can take advantage of the hardware would be my preference.
