Hi everyone,
I'm developing an application for the STM32H755I-Q board in which I'm using the LwIP library (without an OS) to leverage the TCP/IP stack (for the configuration, I followed How to create a project for STM32H7 with Ethernet ... - STMicroelectronics Community).
After verifying that everything was working correctly, I decided to add log management via UART3 printing (according to the reference manual, USART3 supports the Virtual COM Port).
Unfortunately, when I try to print "Hello World", I only see unreadable characters in the terminal.
Below is the main:

}And here the ioc configuration:
1) MPU regions
2) USART3
3)LWIP
I believe there might be an issue with the use of USART and the MPU configuration, but I'm not yet confident enough with these aspects.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you need any other informations ?
