    The UART example code from C:\ti\msp430\MSP430ware_1_00_00_00\examples\devices\5xx_6xx\MSP430F563x, MSP430F663x Code Examples\C says that the USCI_A0_UART TX and RX functions appear on P.0 and P.1 (see sample header below)

    // Note that UCA0RXD and UCA0TXD need to be assigned pins via the PMAP
    // controller.
    //
    // MSP430F66x
    // -----------------
    // /|\| |

    // | | 9600 - 8N1
    // | P2.1/UCA0RXD|<------------

    However, the F6638 datasheet says that USCI_A0_UART appears on P2.4 and P2.5.

    What am I missing?

    Thx,

      Hi Mike,

      Port 2 on the MSP430F6638 is remappable, so any of the pins can be used for UART if you configure the remap registers correctly. 

      It's actually mentioned in both snippets you provided :)

      Tony

      Thanks Tony. I'm (obviously) just learning my way around the MSP430...:). The port mapping is a very nice feature!

      Thx,
