I am happy to announce the launch of UT.6.01x on edX (https://www.edx.org/course/utaustinx/utaustinx-ut-6-01x-embedded-systems-1172). UT.6.01x is an online course (aka MOOC) that serves as an introduction to embedded systems. The teaches students core concepts of embedded engineering on the Tiva Launchpad, an ARM Cortex M4 micro controller board. The basics of C programming, ARM Thumb2 assembly, blinking
So, you want to create a BoosterPack for the Launchpad. Sweet, lets get you jump started. First make sure to grab the BlackstoneEngineering eagle library (it has the headers done so you can just drop them into your project). Next let me point you to some handy resources buried within the TI Wiki. BoosterPack Design
When working with the Stellaris Launchpad it can get confusing which functions are available on which pins. Thus the awesome people over at Energia put together these pinout infographics (https://github.com/energia/Energia/wiki/Hardware). The link also has pinouts for the MSP430 Launchpads. Enjoy!

What is Energia you may ask, well my friend, Energia is a third party app that lets you run Arduino code on a Stellaris Launchpad. It enables you to write code in the most widely known language among the DIY community on a board that is 4 times faster (80Mhz)and 1/3 the cost (13$) of
