This reference design features an evaluation module for the 24-port PSE system which contains a hardware kit, a system firmware image, and a system firmware GUI. The hardware kit consists of a motherboard (PSEMTHR24EVM-081), MSP430 daughtercard (PSEMCUDAUEVM-082) or MSPM0 daughtercard (PSEM0DAUEVM-018), and a PSE daughtercard (TPS23881EVM-083). To evaluate the system (both hardware and software), USB2ANY and MSP-FET adapters are also needed. This guide has been revised to reflect hardware design using the new MSPM0G1107 MCU for multiport PoE systems.
