SPI Seems garbled on MSP430
MSP430 is a MCU example tha invert the CPHA naming convention, thus diverging from  the standard SPI description: TI MSP430 uses the name UCCKPL instead of CPOL, and its 
UCCKPH is the inverse of CPHA. When connecting two chips together, carefully examine the clock phase initialization values to be sure of using the right settings.
