STM32F072 discovery board USART to hyperterminal communication problem

Hi,

I don't know why this code doesn't work. I have following simple code to check USART and the code is running on STM32F072 discovery board. But when I check PA2 pin with scope, it shows nothing. I also connect the board to PC serial port and check with hyperterminal and no luck.

GPIO_AF_1 not 0

change back to GPIO_AF_1 and rerun the code, still no signal out.

This works for me, signal out of PA9

I had a similar problem. The discovery board is set up as if the on-board debugger has virtul com on USART1. It does not. You will need to get out a soldering iron and change some solder bridges on the bottom side. As stated by the others above, this is a board you need to really carefully look at the board manual. Things are not as they seem.
