Hi,

Can anybody light me about why the denomination ''Msp'' has been associated to the definitions of the HAL and HAL peripherals initialisation functions at the startup of the embedded code execution ?

It seems so evident in the docs but i cannot found anywhere explanations about the reasons of this naming convention...

thanks

Hi,

In fact the denomination ''Msp'' has been associated to the initialization and de-initialization (main routine and callbacks) of the peripheral used in the user application. And MSP refers to: MCU Specific Package. This naming convention was created in order to create the difference between BSP: Board Support Package, and MCU Specific Package (BSP).
