Hi Brian.

Fine, you're welcome.

I see you wrote about MSP430. Maybe you already know that MSP432 is a whole different thing,
being an ARM-Cortex based chip. The MSP430 is instead a proprietary TI line of cores, which SweetAda does
not support. Just to avoid misunderstandings -- apologize if I write something already clear to you.

That being said, I'll try to slowly work on MSP432. Next releases maybe will come with more peripherals I/O
declarations to make the target barely usable. I use a MSP432P401R board, if you want to physically
download code from the SweetAda environment via USB, you have to install OpenOCD, it's pretty simple
by taking a look at the scripts.

Let me know and best regards,
G
