Serial send, hangs on DX load.

I am writing a simple program to test the serial port. (testing this for three days now, headache!) On the TMS320VC33.

The code sets the I/O to output mode and turns them on. Then it shuts off all interrupts. After this it sets up the serial port for a transmit. I want the DSP to generate the FSX, and CLKX. I have tried many iterations of this code and settings of these registers but every time I send the write command to load the DR register. The program hangs and the I/Os stay high. If I comment out the Load DX line it passes fine and goes to an infinite loop toggling the I/Os which I can see is the end of my program.

Now I have my scope on the CLKX pin and I cannot see any clocking on that pin. Does anyone have any ideas for what maybe wrong because I am out of ideas. My interrupt routines are just empty functions. I have XTINT and XINT enabled but they shouldn't do anything (ive tried off too)? Is there some bit I have to toggle to start a send my data word out of DX/XSR?

Thanks in advance.

Same Problem, My problem is even if the XSR is empty and the DXR is ready for data, once I load the data to DXR there is no transfer to XSR. So no data comes out. I get the Clock out now. Any ideas? or Source code any of you might have would be helpful. Maybe I am doing something fundamentally wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
