Q: FAQ: Code size requirements for the different sample applications in SimpliciTI (8051 and MSP430) by 1375508

The different code size requirements for the four sample applications included in the SimpliciTI install is listed in the table below. The numbers are approximate due to some differences between the code size for the different devices based on the same MCU.

Remember that changing either NUM_CONNECTIONS, SIZE_INFRAME_Q, SIZE_OUTFRAME_Q or NUM_STORE_AND_FWD_CLIENTS in "smpl_config.dat" will change the code size requirement. Enabling FREQUENCY_AGILITY, APP_AUTO_ACK, EXTENDED_API and SMPL_SECURE in "smpl_nwk_config.dat" will also increase the code size.

wow!  Awesome!  Thanks for the effort to document all these scenarios.
