trying to send& recive using uart7 -tm4c1294xl

Hi i am using tm4c-1294xl 

i have managed to work according to the student guide lab10 and see input and outputs from the virtual com(uart0) but now i have decided to talk with another device using uart7 pins

for some reason i cant do this

attaching the code after changes from the uart echo example

help is super needed thanks :)
