CC2520DK kit and UART A1 problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2618, CC2520

Hi,

I am currently working with CC2520DK kit.I have a stand-alone application,that activates UART A1 module of MSP4302618.The application writes data to PC and receives data from PC.

The UART A0 of MSP430 works well,while UART A1 has only right TX functionality (Tx to PC,i am successufully write the information to PC).When i trying to receive data from PC,the UART A1 RX BUF is always 0 and flag isn't activated.

I check the serial cable with scope and it works well on both directions....,so the cable isn't a problem,espacially it works on UART A0.

Please help me.

I work with TI example file for UART A1: MSP430x261x_uscia0_uart_01.c and change the configuration to UART A1.

    What hardware are you using which has the MSP430F2618 on it?

    Would you be able to post your modifications to the MSP430x261x_uscia0_uart_01.c which have it configured to use UART A1?

    I wrote that my HW is

    1)      CC2520DK evaluation board(SmartRF05 EB1.3) with CCMSP-EM430F2618 1.0.

    2)      I am starting with MSP430x261x_uscia1_uart_02.c and continue with my modifications of MSP430x261x_uscia0_uart_01.c.See the file below.

    You mentioned seeing signals on the RX line from the PC when using either USCI A0 or USCI A1.

    Where are you measuring these?  Is it on the CCMSP-EM430F2618 board?

    On the CC2520DK there are 2 resistors (zero ohm) that shorts between the UART1 and the CC2520 GPIOs. I think they are colliding. Should we remove them? (see the schematics of CC2520DK)

    I would as a test to make sure there isn't any conflict that may be getting in your way.
