Hi Yama, I'm not sure what you're asking for here. You should be able to find sample UART code on the TI site. There are samples in the Launchpad download package. The code is a simple echo program that echos characters received back to the terminal. Get that working before you play with printf(). If you're using a Launchpad and hooking the rx and tx to a serial port on a computer you'll need to use a level shifter on the signals. Search for 'rs232 level shifter' on the web.
To get printf() to work you need to provide a putchar() function. Bob.
