Using McBsp from TMS320C6713 DSK

I have tried to use the McBsp of the DSK6713 in combination with a MAX3110
to convert it to RS232.

At this time I have the problem that the McBsp is not working at all.  
I have already tried the "UART" example program (original from TI) to make
sure that there are no programming errors. This test program was not
working accurate too.

It would be great of someone could give me an advice how to handle the
McBsp correct or maybe a test-program that was in use already.

Thank you for your help,
Juergen

That Maxim part is a 5V device.  The McBSP is 3.3V.  Check out this app 
note:

http://focus.ti.com/docs/apps/catalog/resources/appnoteabstract.jhtml?abstractName=spra633b

It has info on the software as well as the hardware.  If you want to just 
buy a daughtercard that will do the job you can get one from a TI Third 
Party:
