TMS320F28335: Serial Communication.. SCITXDA & SCIRXDA---Example 9_4 (Receiving is not working)

Tool/software:

Dear TI members,

I am testing example 9_4 from the TI F28335 manual, I am unable to receive the data string ("Instruments") by inserting the text "Texas" on the terminal. The example Module 9 with its sample code is given as below:

The Result window is shown below: By typing " Texas" and then pressing enter, I don't receive "Instruments" at the Terminal.... which is a problem:

Please suggest accordingly.

Thanks
