Problem solved. I did a little investigative engineering and found
that the serial cable I was using was flaky, at best. Replaced the
cable and haven't had anymore problems.
Thanks for trying to help, Peter.

Hello,

I am currently writing development software for the HCS12 DP256 EVB.
I am trying to test software functionality through SCI data dumps to
a HyperTerminal program running on my workstation.

Currently, I am not getting any input in HyperTerminal. As I trace
through my code with Metrowerks TrueTime Debugger, I don't see the
appropriate changes to the SCI0DRL register as I write to it. I am
not sure if this register is included in the memory map or not. This
is the code I use for SCI0 configuration:

Configuration:
SCI0BDH = 0x00; // ECLK = 8 MHz - Baud Rate = 2400
//CLR 200
SCI0BDL = 0xD0;
//LDAB #208
//STAB 201
SCI0CR1 = 0x00;
//CLR 202
SCI0CR2 = 0x0C; // Set TE and RE
//LDAB #12
//STAB 203

Writing to SCI:
status = SCI0SR1;
//LDAA 204
//STAA status
SCI0DRH = 0x00;
//CLR 206
SCI0DRL = 'C';
//LDAA #67
//STAA 207

The problem could lie within HyperTerminal configuration or the
Serial Port configuration within my PC. But as I am not seeing the
proper resetting of TDRE and TC flags, I suspect the error lies
within the MCU and/or code.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
