Did you connect the RS232 UART to the respective FTDI Rx/Tx pins C8/D8?

i don't know, how can i know that? my kit is like a pendrive (www.arrow.com/bemicro)

Did you select the virtual COM-Port assigned to the BeMicro RS232 channel in Hyperterminal?

yes i guess, i did see it on my hardware devices and connected to it with the hyperterminal

Did you set the same baud rate in Hyperterminal and your UART IP?

yes

Did you verify, e.g. with SignalTap II, that the UART is sending out correct frames to the TxD pin D8?

how can i do that?

I am newbie, just followed the tutorial :S
