hello 🙂

i had a problem  when i send a character or receive a character , i always get a wrong character like ''-'' or a heart ... ps: i'm using rs232 -> USB converter here is my code: &sharpinclude ''stm32f4xx.h'' void main() {  //UART4 initialization RCC->APB1ENR |= 0x00080000; // Enable clock for UART4 RCC->AHB1ENR |= 0x00000004; // Enable clock for GPIOC GPIOC->MODER |= 0x00a00000; // PC10, PC11 => AF mode GPIOC->AFR[1] |= 0x00008800; // select AF8 (UART4,5,6) for PA10, PA11 UART4->BRR = 0x1120; // 9600 baud UART4->CR1 |= 0x200c; // Enable UART for TX, RX UART4->CR1 |= 0x0020; // Enable RX interrupt while(1){   if (UART4->SR & 0x0080) {    UART4->DR='a';    for (int i=0; i<10000000; i++) {};   } } } please any help! :( #too-vague

please any help!

With register level code you really own your own problems. The baud rate value looks wrong, For a chip running at 168 MHz, and APB1 at 42 MHz, 0x1117 would be better for actually getting 9600 baud. Why would you enable a receive interrupt?

thnx for your reply! 🙂

but it still didnt work for me :\ even i changed the baud rate to many values

In that case you'll need to pay particular attention to the crystal on the board, the define for HSE_VALUE, and the PLL settings in system_stm32f4xx.c. Most notably, the STM32F4-Discovery board uses an 8 MHz crystal, and most of ST's other offerings use a 25 MHz crystal. Failing to deal with this will result in baud rates being wrong, I highly recommend sending characters repetitively and measuring the bit time with a scope.

thnx clive for urr answer 🙂 this is my config in system_stm32f4xx.c and plz tell me what can i do

 This file configures the system clock as follows:   *=============================================================================   *=============================================================================   *        Supported STM32F4xx device revision    | Rev A   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        System Clock source                    | PLL (HSE)   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        SYSCLK(Hz)                             | 168000000   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        HCLK(Hz)                               | 168000000   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        AHB Prescaler                          | 1   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        APB1 Prescaler                         | 4   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        APB2 Prescaler                         | 2   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        HSE Frequency(Hz)                      | 25000000   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        PLL_M                                  | 25   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        PLL_N                                  | 336   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        PLL_P                                  | 2   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        PLL_Q                                  | 7   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        PLLI2S_N                               | NA   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        PLLI2S_R                               | NA   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        I2S input clock                        | NA   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        VDD(V)                                 | 3.3   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        Main regulator output voltage          | Scale1 mode   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        Flash Latency(WS)                      | 5   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        Prefetch Buffer                        | OFF   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        Instruction cache                      | ON   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        Data cache                             | ON   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   *        Require 48MHz for USB OTG FS,          | Enabled   *        SDIO and RNG clock                     |   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you have an STM32F4-Discovery board? I've kind of assumed this, but you've not explicitly stated what you're using.

If so you'll need to modify the PLL_M define to 8 in this file, and define HSE_VALUE as 8000000 within the project. In Keil it would be Options -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor Symbols -> Define Should be something like : STM32F4XX, USE_STDPERIPH_DRIVER, HSE_VALUE=8000000 For IAR you'll need to read your manuals. Make sure it's not redefined in any other source files.

thnx! i think i'm near to the good results , because it changed a little and the characters are better but still wrong , i changed the PLL_M to 8 and HSE to 8Mhz , i think it still something missing 🙂

should i change also the APB1 Prescaler or no ? and what is the new baud rate value i should put it ?

and yeah i'm using STM32F4

Have you checked the bit timing with a scope?

Why would you need to change the APB settings? The PLL value being changed is the one that generates the 1 MHz comparison frequency internally. The other setting should get us to 168 MHz. The startup_stm32f4xx.s code calls the SystemInit() routine in system_stm32f4xx.c, and it is this code that should set up the pll and buses. You could also use timers, and MCO pins to confirm internal clock speeds with a scope.

anyway i dont have scope to test on it , i'm little confused what to do

thnx anyway clive 🙂
