CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC1350: RSSI UART for CC1350

I made a small example where I used the rfPacketRX example, and added a UART_write in the callback.

It works as it should.

The code does however just print a fixed string ("RSSI:") for every packet received.

You need to take the rssi value found in rxStatistics.lastRssi and convert that to a string, and then print that instead.

My code is below:
