STM32H7S, LTCD and uart won't work together

Hi, 

I'm using a STM32H7S78-DK board along with stm32cudeide 1.16.0. I'm loading the example LTDC_ColorKeyring which work fine, here is the issue... I'm trying to implement uart4 connected to the onboard ST-link. If I init MX_UART4_Init() and use HAL_UART_Transmit(), BEFORE MX_LTDC_Init(), it work fine. As soon as the LTDC is init, I cannot use the Uart at all. I don't see any pin conflict here... the uart4_tx is PD1 and is only connect to the VCP of the st-link.

I'm evaluating the STM32H7S for business, but if I cannot get those two simple peripheral working together...thats a big flaw

In the code below from HAL_LTDC_MspInit we can see that in the USER CODE BEGIN section we make a new RCC_OscInitTypeDef with a vlaue of zero , this clears out any values from our original RCC settings , in this case

HSI calibration value. In the code below it is never initialized  again, when the struct is passed to HAL_RCC_OscConfig(&RCC_OscInitStruct) (line 153)  sets HSI calibration value to 0 since it was never initialized in this struct. 

 

The solution is to add RCC_OscInitStruct.HSICalibrationValue = RCC_HSICALIBRATION_DEFAULT before the call to HAL_RCC_OscConfig (line 152 below)

 

Admittedly the example has a few issues, for example the .ioc file sets LTDC to 200MHZ, but fixing it and regenerating does not generate a SystemClockConfig function, hence why the clock is configured in user space. 

 

For now the solution provided fixes the original post's issue. The bugs have been reported internally.

 

 

 

 

void HAL_LTDC_MspInit(LTDC_HandleTypeDef* hltdc)
{
 GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStruct = {0};
 RCC_PeriphCLKInitTypeDef PeriphClkInit = {0};
 if(hltdc->Instance==LTDC)
 {
 /* USER CODE BEGIN LTDC_MspInit 0 */
 RCC_OscInitTypeDef RCC_OscInitStruct={0};
 /* USER CODE END LTDC_MspInit 0 */

 /** Initializes the peripherals clock
 */
 PeriphClkInit.PeriphClockSelection = RCC_PERIPHCLK_LTDC;
 PeriphClkInit.LtdcClockSelection = RCC_LTDCCLKSOURCE_PLL3R;
 if (HAL_RCCEx_PeriphCLKConfig(&PeriphClkInit) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }

Hello @AlexCaron ,

Let me first welcome you to the ST Community.

Please check the clock configuration is initialized/enabled properly for both peripherals. 

Did you follow exactly the readme? Also, check the hardware connections.

Hi Imen,

Thank you for your reply, as I said, they both work unless the ltdc is started so I assume both clock/configuration are fine. Starting the ltdc completely stop the uart4 to work. Anyway the project is comming from one of your example, maybe you should check ?

As a first check, we noticed that there are differences between the pinout for the display connector of the LTDC_ColorKeying example and the pinout of the schematic:

The issue is on LTDC_R2 which was connected to pin PB5 in the SW-example, but it was connected to PF0 on the schematic.

Please, check your LTDC pin configuration, as it can be the same issue for you and in this case the board doesn't work.

This issue is escalated internally for fix in the coming release of software.
