Basic example of MSP430FR2433 UART usage with driverlib

I don't know why but the line 19: brDiv = (16000000 << 4) / 115200; only works if adjust the division to match 104 us bit time who will be like brDiv = (16000000 << 4) / 145000; in my launchpad, confirmed with a scope. with the supposed correct 115200 the time is 128 us instead of 104 us. That is the way i found for a reliable communication
