I am having a problem receiving data. Using the logic analyzer I can confirm that Tx is working from the PIC. The Rx register (U1RXREG) is not collecting the Rx data and the data available bit (U1STAbits.URXDA) is never being set to 1. I have tried swapping the pins and Tx works on both pins but still no receive into the PIC.
I tried both interrupt driven Rx and polling the UART in the main loop. When using the interrupt the ISR is never called. Using polling the UART the U1RXREG never contains data and the U1STAbits.URXDA bit never changes. We've confirmed this using an ICD3 in circuit debugger by running the code in debug and looking at the register. It might be worth noting that the Loopback is working as expected, when enabled.
I'm are using the following code:
