Trasmitting through UART

I am trying to transmit a string of characters through USART3 of a STM32F215RG using the code below. If I run this code, I see no output on my terminal. If I single step through this code I see all characters on the terminal. If I replace the wait for TXE to go high with a HAL_Delay(1), I see all characters on the terminal. What am I missing ?

char
textbuff[32];


strcpy
( textbuff, 
''Hello\r\n''
);


for
( i = 0 ; i < 
strlen
( textbuff ) ; i++ )

{

while
( USART3->SR & UART_FLAG_TXE == 0 )

;


USART3->DR = textbuff[ i ]; 

}

while
( (USART3->SR & UART_FLAG_TXE) == 0 )
;

Damn, that’s embarrassing !

A rookie mistake and I have been coding for 30 years :~(

Thanks for pointing out that I really need to read my code more carefully before posting for help.

Best Regards

Andy

It's one of those things you can stare at and not see. Like errant semi-colons at the end of if, for or while statements.

So true :)

Thanks for the second pair of (working) eyes.

The double reply is because this forum software works about as well as my firmware !
