MSP432E401Y: How to create a TCP Client with Freertos CSS

Hi,

  We don't have a MSP432E tcpecho client example for FreeRTOS. However, I find a client example for TI-RTOS NDK but it is for TM4C129 which is the same silicon as MSP432E. You can reference this code and adapt to FreeRTOS.

Thanks very much Charles, that solved my issue.
