  • Page 4 Carefully scratch off the soldermask from the trace leading to pin 12 on IC111. This will allow for more space to solder a wire. Figure 7: Close-up of IC111 and the Soldering Location for the "SWO" Signal Solder a wire to the exposed copper of the trace and be careful to not strain the wire as it may damage the board.
  • Page 5 Attach the “TDI” and “SWO” wires to their corresponding positions on the target board. Step 8: Connect the MSP432P401R LaunchPad to the computer via the micro USB cable and check to see if “LED102” is illuminated green near the reset button. If the LED is not on, try cycling the power on the target board by quickly removing and replacing the +3.3V wire.
