Unclear empty min. project template with board.h file

Niels Rentenaar

Hi there, i am using CCS Version: 6.2.0.00050

As i just started with the MSP432P401R launchpad i wanted to create a variant of the blinking Led demo also using the RGB Led. I am a total newbie on this and following tutorials.

So i opened a TI-RTOS example project template (empty minimal)

But i noticed something strange in the Board.h file which was created.

I seems that the define Board_LED1 and define Board_LED2 actually point to the same location, is there a special reason for that?

Also uncommenting the define Green and Blue LED code will result in errors. So i think at least te comment should be altered on that.

Ofcourse i alterted the code to work correctly, but since this i a default template i was wondering if i just missed something else or that is a bug.

Any hints would be appreciated

Nope, this is not a bug. This is the way they have decided to do it. Most TI-RTOS examples blink only a max of 2 LEDs (LED0 and LED1) so LED2 is define to be the same as LED1. The PWM LED example uses LED 0,1,2,3 and that is what the comment is trying to convey.
