How do I enable UART4 on the B-L475E-IOT01A? It appears that UART4 needs to be defined; but in which header file. What else needs to be done to enable and use the port?

I desire to use UART4 to talk to a GPS module over serial communications on an Arduino shield board. To do this I need to use UART4, but it does not appear to be enabled.

I tried to enable the UART4 from the STMCubeMX - it seems to works as for other boards (actually I do not have this one). Probably you need to share more details about the issue you are facing. What have you tried?

Can we try not to put the entire question in the summary.

Make sure STM32L475xx is defined (compiler command line)

Check stm32l475xx.h shows as a dependency (via stm32l4xx.h)

Make sure the pins are properly configured.

The clocks are all enabled.

I've used GPS on the IoT shield, UART4 works.
