MSP432E401Y: prebuilt driver lib

Hi, There is SimpleLink Academy as the start training on MSP432E: https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=ADLCiY8-giosk.OGs055kA__J4.hfJy__LATEST. Thanks!

I know these are the built driver libraries. I have a project that needs to link with the driver library ... but which one?

I need to know the significance of the suffix's  (extensions)

my guess is that its the DPL and there is one each for FreeRTOS, TIRTOS and NORTOS but which one is which?

Looking at a /simplelink_msp432e4_sdk_4_20_00_12 installation the source/ti/drivers/package.xs has the following, which shows how the suffixes are built for the driver libraries:

    else if (Program.cpu.deviceName.match(/MSP432E4.*/)) {
        driverString = "_msp432e4";
    }
    else {
        throw ("Driver not found for this device " + Program.cpu.deviceName +
               " and target " + Program.build.target.suffix);
    }

    targetSuffix = ".a" + Program.build.target.suffix + ";";

    retString += driversBase + "/lib/drivers" + driverString + targetSuffix;

So, the suffix has a variations built using the value of Program.build.target.suffix.

source/ti/drivers/package/build.cfg has the following:

pkg.build.libDesc = [
    [
        'lib/drivers_msp432e4.aem4f',
        {
            target: 'ti.targets.arm.elf.M4F',
            suffix: 'em4f'
        }
    ],
    [
        'lib/drivers_msp432e4.am4fg',
        {
            target: 'gnu.targets.arm.M4F',
            suffix: 'm4fg'
        }
    ],
    [
        'lib/drivers_msp432e4.arm4f',
        {
            target: 'iar.targets.arm.M4F',
            suffix: 'rm4f'
        }
    ],
];

So, the above appears to show the suffixes are for different compilers - TI, GNU and IAR.

I couldn't seem to find a documentation link which explained what the library suffixes were, so looked at the build configuration for the drivers.
