Why don't you just call your local TI distributor? They will be happy to steer you in the right direction, and can probably help with samples.

There are lots of examples of how to implement a UART with software ("bit banging"), but it's an ugly job. Of course, if you're only sending, and not receiving, data, it's a lot easier since you don't have to synchronize/oversample the sender's data.

What are you communicating with? Do you HAVE to use UART?
