MSP430F6779: Calculating EMDC Baud Rates

Part Number: MSP430F6779

Hi there,

I'm attempting to change the baud rate of the EMDC program on MSP430F6779.

I've seen links to Page 1040, Table 39-5, in the "Family" user's guide:
www.ti.com/.../slau208q.pdf

I've also seen references to the UART Baud Rate Calculator:
software-dl.ti.com/.../index.html

However, I cannot replicate the parameters in the EMDC program:

#if (EM_SMCLK_FREQ_IN_HZ == 25165824)

//250K Baud Rate @ 25MHz	
#define UART__PRESCALER                                                  (0x06)
#define UART__FIRST_STAGE_MOD                                            (0x03)
#define UART__SECOND_STAGE_MOD                                           (0x02)

Why does the calculator give me a different set of parameters?

The Family user-guide does not appear to have an SMCLK -> BRCLK value of 25165824 Hz in the table.

How do I calculate the parameters to get to... 9600 Baud, or 115200 Baud, or 400 kBaud?
