EK-TM4C1294XL: Transmit and Receive RS485 data from encoder

Part Number: EK-TM4C1294XL

I am trying to read data from RS485 absolute Encoder with 2.5MBps(ecoder20) with my EK-TM4C1294 kit(The encoder requires transmitting Data ID) , I have to read the data and then send to a BLDC driver which only accept SPI , so will then need to send using SPI.
Firstly, CAn I use differential pins of TM4C1294 for this purpose?
Currently I am using Max485 module to convetrt the data into UART, but didn't get the data.(The code is attached)

Secondly, is it possible to recieve the data from encoder at 2.5MBPS, and then send to driver in SPI.

Regards,
