-**Monitor**: You will need monitor with 15-pin VGA input that can handle 800x600 resolution @ 60 Hz. Most higher resolution LCD panels will up-scale the image, but the quality of the scaling may not be ideal. A CRT will give a better image, but you may need to wind up the contrast and brightness to get a workable picture. An old 800x600 native resolution LCD would be ideal.

-**USB**: The Tiva-C Launchpad has a USB micro-AB connector into which you can plug a Raspberry Pi Zero compatible micro-A to full-size A adaptor. There is no USB support in firmware yet, and the board can only supply a limited amount of current, so don't expect your mobile phone to charge.
