Introduction

This user guide describes how to use the TI CC3000 evaluation module (EM) board to evaluate the

solution that enables internet connectivity for a wide variety of microcontroller (MCU) systems. The

SimpleLink Wi-Fi from TI minimizes the host MCU software requirements, making it ideal for low-power

and low-cost applications. The CC3000 EM board is targeted for TI MCUs, such as the MSP430-FR5739

and other various host platforms. This document details the key parts and features of the CC3000 EM

board and the different options available to the user. This document includes layout guidelines to assist
