problem in msp430g2231 UART..

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2231

hi...

I am currently working  in  MSP430G2231 UART..  I  use the example code...My board is  MSP-EXP430G2(rev1.4)... I need the hardware connections and jumper settings for UART (inbuilt USB to serial)...pls help me..

My code is


//******************************************************************************
//  MSP430G2xx1 Demo - Timer_A, Ultra-Low Pwr UART 9600 Echo, 32kHz ACLK
//
//  Description: Use Timer_A CCR0 hardware output modes and SCCI data latch
//  to implement UART function @ 9600 baud. Software does not directly read and
//  write to RX and TX pins, instead proper use of output modes and SCCI data
//  latch are demonstrated. Use of these hardware features eliminates ISR
//  latency effects as hardware insures that output and input bit latching and
//  timing are perfectly synchronised with Timer_A regardless of other
//  software activity. In the Mainloop the UART function readies the UART to
//  receive one character and waits in LPM3 with all activity interrupt driven.
//  After a character has been received, the UART receive function forces exit
//  from LPM3 in the Mainloop which configures the port pins (P1 & P2) based
//  on the value of the received byte (i.e., if BIT0 is set, turn on P1.0).

//  ACLK = TACLK = LFXT1 = 32768Hz, MCLK = SMCLK = default DCO
//  //* An external watch crystal is required on XIN XOUT for ACLK *//
