    Hey Matt,

    I am using MSP430 from TI . I am trying to send data through UART to PC from every task. However its not working. Transmit Buffer is loading with data but i am not able to receive data in my PC.

    Here is example of my code:

    i have called  the uart setup function in main function.

     

    void uart_setup()

    {

      OS_ERR err;

      OSSemPost(&MySem,OS_OPT_POST_1,&err);

      P3SEL = 0x30;                         

      UCA0CTL1 |= UCSWRST;           

      UCA0CTL1 |= UCSSEL_2;                     // SMCLK

      UCA0BR0 = 9;                              // 1MHz 115200 (see User's Guide)

      UCA0BR1 = 0;                              // 1MHz 115200

      UCA0MCTL |= UCBRS_1 + UCBRF_0;            // Modulation UCBRSx=1, UCBRFx=0

      UCA0CTL1 &= ~UCSWRST;                     // **Initialize USCI state machine**

      UCA0IE |= UCRXIE;                         // Enable USCI_A0 RX interrupt

    }

     

     

    void  AppTask1 (void *p_arg)

    {

        OS_ERR  err;

       while (1) {

           /

            send('1');

              OSTimeDlyHMSM(0u, 0u, 0u, 10u,

                          OS_OPT_TIME_HMSM_STRICT,

                          &err);

     

     

        }

    }

     

    // and my send function is like this:

    void send(char a)

    {

     

      while (!(UCA0IFG&UCTXIFG));             // USCI_A0 TX buffer ready?

        UCA0TXBUF = a;

    }
