Hi Chirag,

I had faced this problem with L031 board. Have a look at the schematics --

http://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers/stm32l476rg.html

 and check if the UART pins i.e STLK_TX and STLK_RX are the same as configured using the STMCube. You can check the UART pins in a file that reads something like stm32l4xx_hal_msp.c, and search for void HAL_UART_MspInit(UART_HandleTypeDef* huart). To receive from hyperterminal these pins should match the UART pins mentioned in schematic.  

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Harsha

So what pins does this supposedly use? Save me having to dig through the docs for things you should already be aware of.

Does HAL_UART_Receive() return an error? When you uses a debugger what do you see in the buffer?

Note that an array with 10 elements has them numbered 0 thru 9

data1[10] = data[10]; // this is out side the bounds of the array, not clear on the purpose of this code

Try echoing back one character at a time.

Hi Chirag,

Can you confirm you are using USART2 with PD5 (USART_TX) and PD6 (USART_RX)? Is USART2 connected to PC through the ST-Link Virtual Com Port (VCP)? In such case, there is no modification needed on the board, and you should be able to send/receive through the VCP thanks to the ST-Link USB cable. See

http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/user_manual/d1/84/86/4b/08/82/47/91/DM00172179.pdf/files/DM00172179.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.DM00172179.pdf

User manual Discovery kit with STM32L476VG MCU § 7.9 USART configuration.

I would not recommend to use PA2 and PA3 as I would conflict with JOY_RIGHT and JOY_UP (or you'll have to remove R52 & R56 resistors).
