MSP430FR2433: Saving Data to INFOA Memory

#include <msp430.h> 
#include <stdint.h>

/*
 * Notes: By default both data and program FRAM memory is enabled and must be
 * disabled in order to write to these sections.
 * For more information on this topic see section 5.12.22
 * https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slau132v/slau132v.pdf
 *
 * Noinit and persistent variables behave identically with the exception of
 * whether or not they are initialized at load time.
 * The NOINIT pragma may be used only with uninitialized variables. It
 * prevents such variables from being set to 0 during a reset.
 * It may be used in conjunction with the LOCATION pragma to map variables
 * to special memory locations, like memory-mapped registers, without
 * generating unwanted writes.
 * The PERSISTENT pragma may be used only with statically-initialized variables.
 * It prevents such variables from being initialized during a reset.
 * Persistent variables disable startup initialization; they are given an
 * initial value when the code is loaded, but are never again initialized.
 * By default, noinit or persistent variables are placed in sections
 * named .TI.noinit and .TI.persistent, respectively. The location of these
 * sections is controlled by the linker command file. Typically .TI.persistent
 * sections are placed in FRAM for devices that support FRAM and .TI.noinit sections
 * are placed in RAM.
