How to transmit UART data on STM32 discovery board?

Hi forum,

I'm developing on the stm32f3disovery board with STM32F3-Discovery_FW_V1.1.0 running in IAR Embedded Workbench. I've been able to get the basic demo compiled and running, but I can't seem to get UART data transmission to work. There are no error messages, just no output on the serial terminal when I transmit data. I've made sure to match the serial terminal and UART peripheral settings. Below is the UART initialization and runtime code that I have:

 //Set up UART peripheral 
 RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_USART1, ENABLE);
 RCC_AHBPeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHBPeriph_GPIOC, ENABLE);
 GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOC, GPIO_PinSource4, GPIO_AF_7);
 GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOC, GPIO_PinSource5, GPIO_AF_7);
 
 GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStruct = {0};
 GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF;
 GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_OType = GPIO_OType_PP;
 GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_NOPULL;
 GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;
 GPIO_Init(GPIOC, &GPIO_InitStruct);
 
 USART_InitTypeDef USART1_Struct; 
 USART1_Struct.USART_BaudRate = 38400;
 USART1_Struct.USART_HardwareFlowControl = USART_HardwareFlowControl_None;
 USART1_Struct.USART_Mode = USART_Mode_Rx | USART_Mode_Tx;
 USART1_Struct.USART_Parity = USART_Parity_No;
 USART1_Struct.USART_StopBits = USART_StopBits_1;
 USART1_Struct.USART_WordLength = USART_WordLength_8b;
 USART_Init(USART1, &USART1_Struct);
 
 USART_Cmd(USART1, ENABLE);

 //Transmit heading value over UART for display 
 while(USART_GetFlagStatus(USART1, USART_FLAG_BUSY)) {};
 USART_SendData(USART1, 15);

Thanks!

I use STM32CubeMX from ST to set up peripherals. It can be downloaded free from ST.

Then it is easy to find various examples and you get basic io working.

And then the following would make sense. Google finds quite a lot of help about the keywords. Variable names are in finnish, sorry. You have to change the handles h.... like huart1 to your board.
