I found 3 app notes covering the topic of implementing a software UART via the McBSP:
spra633c
spra661a
spra882a
spra882a seems to be the newest of the three, as it references the other 2. It also references some code files which seem to contain the exact routines that I need to make the McBSP work as a UART, the problem is that I can't seem to locate these files. Does anyone know where they are?
