Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to run some SCI communication with the C2000 Launchpad for days now without any result so far.
Not even example projects are working so I really don't know whats going on. Perhaps some of my setup is wrong:
I'm running the F2802xSci_echoback example from controlSuite.
I got a Launchpad XL (LAUNCHXL-F28027) connected via USB to my PC. I am flashing and debugging via USB.
All Jumpers all plugged in, all 3 dip switches are on and also S4 is on (so all switches are in up position).
Under COM Ports from my PC i got a FTDI USB to Serial com Port (on TI XDS100 Channel B) installed, so everything should work as expected.
Now if I am starting the application I'm not seeing any communication, not on my own hyper terminal program, neither on the ccs build in terminal (both connected to the installed com port, 9600kbaud and 8N1).
Also no LED's are flashing on the launchpad and the software "hangs" at
while(SCI_getRxFifoStatus(mySci) < SCI_FifoStatus_1_Word){
waiting for a character.
If I am sending a character the led flashes shortly and i receive a "0" in the software.
So what could possibly be wrong? I really need to get this to work as soon as possible...
Thanks in advance
Patrick
