Write a C code that runs on the LaunchPad and uses Timer_A based on SMCLK (its set to ~1 MHz by default). Our goal is to generate a 4-second delay. The problem is that this clock is very fast and a 4- second delay is a huge number of cycles that cant be measured with 16-bit registers. First, divide the clock by 8 to slow it down. Then, use the up mode to generate a delay of 0.4 seconds. Then, write a code that counts ten such delays to get a 4-second delay. Upon the 4-second interval, flash the red LED, which is mapped to P1.0 (active high).

Start by writing the timers configuration.
