Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR5969
Hello,
I've just opened my new MSP430FR5969 Launchpad and now I am checking the basics of the board. First thing I would like to test the UART loopback, thus I start with the provided example (msp430fr59xx_euscia0_uart_01.c from slac536e.zip). But only semi-works. Can anybody help me with the UART configuration?

* MSP430 code examples are self-contained low-level programs that typically
* demonstrate a single peripheral function or device feature in a highly
* concise manner. For this the code may rely on the device's power-on default
* register values and settings such as the clock configuration and care must
* be taken when combining code from several examples to avoid potential side

// MSP430FR59xx Demo - eUSCI_A0 UART echo at 9600 baud using BRCLK = 8MHz
//
// Description: This demo echoes back characters received via a PC serial port.
// SMCLK/ DCO is used as a clock source and the device is put in LPM3
// The auto-clock enable feature is used by the eUSCI and SMCLK is turned off
// when the UART is idle and turned on when a receive edge is detected.
// Note that level shifter hardware is needed to shift between RS232 and MSP
// voltage levels.
//
// The example code shows proper initialization of registers
// and interrupts to receive and transmit data.
// To test code in LPM3, disconnect the debugger.
//
// ACLK = VLO, MCLK = DCO = SMCLK = 8MHz

line: UCA0TXBUF = UCA0RXBUF;
And the CCS show the right character. However, the received character is rarely sent back to PC and if so, it is completely destroyed.
Then I did check the TX and RX signal on J13 connector. The RX looks pretty nice and flowing data in speed of 9600 baud can be seen here. However, TX signal does not move at all and stays at GND level. Event after disconnecting the TX jumper on J13.
I guess that there is something wrong with the UART transmission configuration in the uart.c example program or the board I've just received is somehow broken. Can anybody help mi with this?
Thanks a lot
