Connecting a BoosterPack Plug-in Module

A compatible BoosterPack module can be stacked on top of the LaunchPad kit using the 2x20 pin
connectors. Note that the connectors do not have a key to prevent the misalignment of the pins or reverse
connection. Ensure that VCC and 5V pins are aligned with the BoosterPack module header pins. On the
CC3200 LaunchPad kit, a small white triangle symbol is provided near Pin-1 (see
BoosterPack modules. This same marking, provided on compatible BoosterPack modules, must be
aligned before powering up the boards.
