DSCOPE: NO TARGET SYSTEM FOUND

QUESTION

I am running MCB520 through dscope. I tried getting serial port 0 working with another computer, using it as a dumb terminal. I'm trying to get communication going, but the characters sent to serial port 0 are wrong.

If I step through the program, at the point where I initialize the serial port, th1 = 0x71, I receive the message:

No target system found,
Please check the settings and your target system.

This happens at all baud rates.

ANSWER

Using Timer 1 destroys Serial port 1. Use Timer 2 for your serial port 0 communications when running in the MCB520 board.
