    4.4.4 eZ430-RF2500T Interface The eZ430-RF2500T module can be attached to the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board in one of two ways – through an 18-pin connector (J12 – eZ RF) or a 6-pin connector (J13 – eZ RF Target). The pins on the eZ430-RF2500T headers are multiplexed with the pins on the CC-EM headers, which allows the EZ430-RF2500T module to behave identically to a CC-EM daughterboard.
