Compiler/TMS320C5515: calling an external function causes infinite loop

Part Number: TMS320C5515

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Okay, I'm trying to call a simple SAR setup routine to initialize the ADC on the EVM board I have, so that I can read in voltage levels, perform an FFT on it, then send the results out via UART.  BUT, when I launch the program and it calls the function to initialize the SAR controller, the program just stops responding, it doesn't throw any errors, it just sits and spins, infinitely, there are no loops in my code, so I don't know where it's getting hung up (see below)

Here's the main function(I know it's not all of it, but the first printf is all that's important):

Here's the function it's trying to call (I know it's not all of it, but the first printf is all that's important):

And here's what I get when I run it:

Notice the lack of the "Beginning SAR initialization...\n"

I don't get it, I know it's probably something simple, but I can't figure it out

I've attached the whole project below, the code for this issue is in the DSPFFT project:

Thank you for any of your help,
