Testers will be selected on the basis of quality of applications: we expect a full and complete description of why you want to test these particular products.
Testers are required to produce a full, comprehensive and well thought out review within 2 months of receipt of the products.
Failure to provide this review within the above timescale will result in the enrolee being excluded from future Road Tests.
gsgill112 Got my samples from TI today and I will see if switching out the controller allows me to run any of the demos for the 2802F C2000 Launchpad, I'll let you know what happens, if anything happens.

Moreover, I did manage to get an Example Project working with LED's all on, but it so seems that this kit was not intended to be a Launchpad ?? , I mean there isn't any easy way around this damn kit. It tool me 2-3 weeks getting a Simple blink Led Working ?? I wanted to use this kit in my Bluetooth Controlled Mobile Robot Project(technervers.com), but instead I ended up using MSP430 and Even demonstrated it at Makerspace Bangalore. I will do a review once I am settled at my new Room. I don't think it will be as a good review as i did for few kits before due to the fact that I have to learn Loads of stuff before I even get somewhere near being comfortable with this kit .
@Kas Lewis : thanks for the links, I will publish the Blink LED Example using CCS6 on my GitHub Hope that Helps . And thanks again
