MSP432E401Y: Development Kit,TI LanchPad.

Hi team,

Here's an issue from the customer may need your help:

The customer has checked these 2 files:

https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AOD4LXqFA8XEr21FehvtQA__J4.hfJy__LATEST

https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AEFKJ9Hm67JXdj9NzpSYFA__J4.hfJy__LATEST&search=432E

And got the related description from the Technical Reference Manual:

Here the issue is: the up-count mode cannot set by themselves when to refill.

Some related information for reference:

a. The down-count mode can be set from 10000 to 0.

b. The code is shown below. Simply change TIMER_CFG_B_PERIODIC to TIMER_CFG_B_PERIODIC _UP for 97 lines and change data for 105 lines to 10000 for easy observation of the blinking frequency of the LED.

    while(1)
    {
    }
}

c. The modified code above can be seen at runtime. When the 97-line parameter is TIMER_CFG_B_PERIODIC, the light blinks very quickly, while when it's TIMER_CFG_B_PERIODIC _UP, no such . This is not a 0-10000 up or down count, it's known as 0-65535.

d. The error in c. will not occur when 104 lines are removed and no division is performed.

Could you please help check this case? Thanks.
