Example `blink_tiva_c` does not compile

[gyscos]

When running the recommended nightly version (rustc --version returns d4037fc47 2016-09-16), the examples/blink_tiva_c example does not compile for two reasons:

• #![deny(missing_docs)] errors because of the missing doc in the tiva_c module (See #373)
• Even after fixing this, I get:

% cargo build --target=thumbv7em-none-eabi --features mcu_tiva_c --release

error: Could not compile `blink_tiva_c`.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

Note: compiling the blink_k20 works properly, but apparently these two examples have different structures.

I ran into the same problems and eventually managed to fix them. The changes were merged in #399. I managed to compile the Tiva examples with Rust 1.13.0-nightly. There's a sample project here that you could try and build on. It seems Zinc requires quite a specific version of Rust to work properly at the moment. YMMV of course :)

Confirmed that this example builds as of e68f861, so I'm going to close this. I'm leaving #373 open since #399 just basically ignored-away the missing_docs errors, and we really should go back through and fix that instead of just ignoring the errors / warnings.

I noted that on #373 as well.
