Beagleconnect freedom: common questions
What microcontroller does the Beagleconnect freedom use?
The Beagleconnect freedom is built around the MSP430F5503, from the TI MSP430/CC family.
How big is the Beagleconnect freedom PCB?
The Beagleconnect freedom measures 35.8 × 58 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 0.8 mm thick.
How many components are on the Beagleconnect freedom?
176 components, from 96 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Beagleconnect freedom design files?
From the beagleboard/beagleconnect-freedom repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Beagleconnect freedom design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CC-BY-4.0 license, which beagleboard chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Beagleconnect freedom without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug TI MSP430/CC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
