This release breaks compatibility with previous releases of the Core SDK in the following ways:
- Period calculation in PWM drivers were off by 1 in previous releases. The equations used have been updated to be as follows.
PWM_PERIOD_US:
periodCounts = (periodValue * (freq.lo / 1000000)) - 1;
PWM_PERIOD_HZ:
periodCounts = (freq.lo / periodValue) - 1;
