STM32L496VGT6 - Does anyone know for a fact that receive works on USART3? Please no "assumptions" -- I already did that.

Transmit works to PC via FTDI cable.

Receive works from PC to PC (TXRX looped) So FTDI transmit working.

Receive generates no interrupt.

Receive sets no status.

Receive data register remains zero.

As GPIO, receive pin sees signal.

It is as if the alternate function value was programmed wrong -- but it is not.

Using PD9. However, a reconfigure to PC11 also fails.

Not a chip/board I have, constituency here likely to be relatively low.

Got a NUCLEO-L4A6ZG, close enough?

Probably not. The same software works on USART1 or 2, so if it is a programming problem it relates to some special feature of USART3 or some bug that effects only that peripheral.

Isn't L4A6 the same chip (crypto enabled version)?

How do you know? Did you read out the GPIO registers? Post them, together with the UART registers.

Yes, exact same die

Ok, NUCLEO-L4A6ZG, LPUART1 PG7/PG8 VCP, ARDUINO D0 (PD9 USART3-RX), here connected to a GNSS receiver shield at 38400 baud forwarding the VCP

Conclusion USART3 works just fine
