Hi Paddy
The UARTs can be driven in interrupt or DMA mode, with or without HW/SW flow control so there are various possible code options.
Take a look at the uTasker project since it includes most options for UART (as well as various other peripherals, an OS, a TCP/IP stack and USB). It also allows you to develop and test complete code for the MCF52233 in the uTasker simulator - the simulated device will communicate either via a real COM port or else a virtual loop back device (eg com0com - see the following
http://www.utasker.com/forum/index.php?topic=343.0 ).
See the web site below and its forum at
www.uTasker.com/forum as well as on-line demo at
demo.utasker.com (where you can configure its UART :smileywink: ).
