For avr, have you looked on avrfreaks.com yet ?

Lots of code for the different compilers.

No not at all.

IMO Philips still have a way to go to meet Atmels level of
documentation. And atmels website is a thousand times better than Philips.

You can view tables fullscreen properly. Things a half decent web
designer should be able to do very easily.

Compare these two links

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/param_table.asp?family_id=607&OrderBy=part_no&Direction=ASC

Additionally Atmel lets you download it to use in excel

Lot more docs for the avr , lot more app notes.
Lot more code available on the net for the avr.

Should be able to get the usarts up and running in c , in a lot faster
than that on the avrs.

Tried getting the usarts working by themselves before adding the rest of
your code ?
