Table 2-1 describes the key parts and jumpers mounted on top of the CC3000 BoosterPack EVM board.

Table 2-1. Key Parts of CC3000 BoosterPack EVM Board Top View

Part Name Description

CC3000MOD Core module for performance evaluation. For more information, see the CC3000 module

datasheet (SWRS126).

Antenna Can be used for radiated testing by reworking the capacitor to correct pads

J1 U.FL RF connector used for conductive power tests

J2 Used to swap between test mode and operation mode. When pins 2 and 3 are shorted, J2 runs in

operation mode. When pins 1 and 2 are shorted, J2 runs in test mode.

J11 Through-hole test points (for more information, see Table 2-3)

J12 Through-hole test points (for more information, see Table 2-4)

J13 Used to switch between external power and power from the motherboard. Can be used for power

measurements. Connect pins 1 and 2 for power from the LaunchPad flash programmer and

debugging tool. Connect pins 2 and 3 for external power.

J14 DC jack for external power supply. If power is not supplied from the motherboard, ensure that

external power is applied.

Table 2-2 describes the J2 configuration of the CC3000 EVM board.

Table 2-2. J2 Configuration of the CC3000 EVM Board

Mode Description

Test mode: CC3000 radio Connect pins 1 and 2. Test mode is used with the CC3000 radio tool to operate, test, and

tool(1) calibrate the CC3000 chipset designs during development. This tool uses the RS232/UART pins

to run radio frequency (RF) RX and TX tests on the CC3000 module. For more information, see

the CC3000 wiki.

Functional mode: Normal mode Connect pins 2 and 3. Normal mode is for regular functionality between the host platform and the

CC3000 module.

(1) For more information about test software for the PC, see the CC3000 wiki.
