Question

no UART console output for STM32F429ZI dev-kit

I have no console output for UART;

I am using STM32F429ZI dev-kit CubeMX and STM32CubeIDE

The codes compiles and I can see the light blinking but when I connect to Serial terminal with PuttY, I observe no console output.

What am I missing ?

I was able to set up UART5 and observe the bit stream on oscilloscope on PC12 but as I can see on Schematic, the signal doesnt get routed to ST-Link.

PA2 & PA3 are routed to ST-Link (UART2) but no signal on Oscilloscope for PA2 (Tx Pin)

On the NUCLEO-F429ZI, the ST-LINK VCP is connected to USART3 via PD8/PD9, isn't it?

Maybe we found a mistake on Schematic 0693W00000KaSRqQAN.png

Are you talking about the NUCLEO-F429ZI board, or the DISCOVERY one?

Check you're enabling the right clocks.

Check you're enabling the right pins, with the right AF setting for USART2

Should be in the MSP file

I am using NUCLEO board,

I can see

__HAL_RCC_USART2_CLK_ENABLE();

__HAL_RCC_GPIOA_CLK_ENABLE();

in the init function but I can't tell if they are the "right" CLK yet.

Thank you for the support (by the way)
