You are using Altera's UART?

--- Quote Start ---

IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_DMA_WADDRESS(DMA_BASE, SERIAL_UART_BASE+1); // TxData address is @ SERIAL_UART_BASE + 1(offset)

I think this is not right. Register offset is 1, but the width is 32 bit. So next register address should be BASE + 4.

Try to use this: 

IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_DMA_WADDRESS(DMA_BASE, IOADDR_ALTERA_AVALON_UART_TXDATA(SERIAL_UART_BASE));

Strange you see anything at all......
