Hi Adam,
As mentioned in the schematic, "Zero-Ohm-Jumpers R25,R26,R27,R29 and R30 toR34 should be removed in order to interface DRV8313 from external Micro-controller"
There are 9 surface mount zero ohm resistors between the on board MSP430 and the J1 connector. These were placed there to allow customers to use the board with other mcus.
You can hook up a Launchpad as you suggested, but the resistors should be removed. If you do not remove them, the two mcus outputs may interfere with each other. This will create confusion when trying to debug.
In my opinion, you should use the onboard mcu.
