MAX14830 SPI UART Bridge not transmitting

Question

I am using a MAX14830 SPI-UART bridge. I am trying to initialize the chip and get it to transmit a few bytes out of one of its UART. I can write to the UART's THR register, which gets added to the TxFIFO of the UART, but the TxFIFO Level keeps increasing. My issue is exactly the same as the one mentioned in this thread. I have checked the ClkDisabl bit as OP mentioned in his answer and the bit is not set.

My initialization procedure for the chip:

1. Reset chip by setting RST bit in MODE2 register and then clearing it
2. Set the baud rate to 115200 by setting clock divider to 2 (DIVLSB = 2, DIVMSB = 0)
3. Set line control register LCR to 3 (8 data bits + 1 stop bit)
4. Set TrnscvCtrl bit in MODE1 register
5. Clear FIFOs by setting FIFORst bit in the MODE2 register and then clearing it

After this initialization procedure, I write 3 bytes ('A', 'B', and 'C') to the THR registers, when I check the TxFIFOLvl register I see a 3. Every subsequent write just adds to the FIFO and nothing ever goes out the FIFO and I see nothing on the TX line with an oscilloscope. The TxFIFOLvl register returns to 0 only after I clear the FIFOs again or reset the chip.

Any advice on how I can go about debugging the issue or what areas I should look at? Any help would be appreciated! Here's the datasheet for the MAX14830.

EDIT: I tried outputting the UART clock on one of the GPIO pins on the MAX14830 using the ClkToGPIO bit in the TxSynch register, the clock is always high and doesn't seem to be ticking at all. Here's a picture of the voltage across my crystal oscillator. Crystal part number E1SFA12-3.6864M TR. Looks like the peak to peak voltage is about 100mV and the time period is 1us. Does this mean my crystal isn't functioning correctly?

From reading the manual it looks like CLKSource register and thus the crystal enable bit, CrystalEn, can only be set by addressing UART0.

You appear to be addressing UART1. Set the bits through UART0 then revert to your desired communication channel.
