element14 launches 'Build your own BoosterPack' portal
element14 has launched the ‘Build your own BoosterPack’ portal that provides supporting resources to enable designers to create their own BoosterPack, an add-on board designed to work with one of Texas Instruments’ (TI) microcontroller (MCU) LaunchPad evaluation kits.
The step-by-step process gives the engineering and maker communities a systematic framework to work with to bring a new product to market.
The advantage of this site is the comprehensive support it provides through its links to leading industry partners whom developers will need to collaborate with on creating their new board, such as help with design, raising funds, prototyping, manufacture and promoting the board.
Using TI’s MCU LaunchPad evaluation kits, such as the MSP430 LaunchPads, C2000 LaunchPad, Hercules LaunchPad and Tiva LaunchPad, developers can design their own add-on BoosterPack accessory board.
Adrian Fernandez, manager - TI MCU LaunchPad ecosystem, Texas Instruments, said the ecosystem of TI MCU LaunchPads is widely used across many industry segments as a way to evaluate TI’s MCU platforms in an easy and cost-effective manner. Applications include consumer electronics, alternative energy, automation, medical electronics and more.
