Change Uart baud rate on the fly with cube?

I see that this has been asked a few times with no real resolution or workaround, so I'll ask again please?

I have USART3 configured at 9600 Baud. I test this with a terminal program also set at 9600 and it works fine.

I then execute the following 2 line to try and change the baud rate on the fly

MX_USART3_UART_DeInit();

MX_USART3_UART_Init_Custom(19200); 

and then set my terminal program to 19200 baud but uart on processor just stops receiving....

MX_USART3_UART_Init_Custom is a copy the standard MX_USART3_UART 

function with a configurable baud rate

:-

void MX_USART3_UART_Init_Custom(unsigned int baud)

{

huart3.Instance = USART3;

huart3.Init.BaudRate = baud;

huart3.Init.WordLength = UART_WORDLENGTH_8B;

huart3.Init.StopBits = UART_STOPBITS_1;

huart3.Init.Parity = UART_PARITY_NONE;

huart3.Init.Mode = UART_MODE_TX_RX;

huart3.Init.HwFlowCtl = UART_HWCONTROL_NONE;

huart3.Init.OverSampling = UART_OVERSAMPLING_16;

huart3.Init.OneBitSampling = UART_ONE_BIT_SAMPLE_DISABLE;

huart3.AdvancedInit.AdvFeatureInit = UART_ADVFEATURE_NO_INIT;

if (HAL_UART_Init(&huart3) != HAL_OK)

{

_Error_Handler(__FILE__, __LINE__);

}

}

Any ideas?

But what is the actual issue? Do the functions report an error, does the USART have some pending status? Provide some analysis.

Does the USART have a framing error you need to clear? Does it transition baud rate mid-transmission?

You can use the HAL, or frankly just disable the USART, change the BRR and re-enable.

There isn't some inherent flaw in the USART or software, got several parts here where I negotiate to higher baud rates.

The issue is that nothing else get received. Software just carired on running (no had faults)

I added the following

MX_USART3_UART_DeInit();

MX_USART3_UART_Init_Custom(19200);

if( HAL_UART_GetError(&huart3) )

{

// __HAL_UART_CLEAR_FLAG

diag_log( _EV_VERBOSE, DIAG_FMT( 'Error' )); // stuck a break point here too

}

and stuck a break point on diag_log line for good measure. errors reported back, 0.

what pending status do you refer to?

>>what pending status do you refer to?

USART3->SR

USART3->ISR

Depends on the specific STM32 we're talking about, but start with those, and a review of the relevant RM

Sorry, yeah, Processor is STM32F779. Will keep digging..

ok, not sure why, but its now working with no changes, so this is what I have :-

MX_USART3_UART_DeInit();

MX_USART3_UART_Init_Custom(19200); 

MX_USART3_UART_Init_Custom

is a copy the standard MX_USART3_UART function with a configurable baud rate

:-

void

MX_USART3_UART_Init_Custom(unsigned int baud)

{

huart3.Instance = USART3;

huart3.Init.BaudRate = baud;

huart3.Init.WordLength = UART_WORDLENGTH_8B;

huart3.Init.StopBits = UART_STOPBITS_1;

huart3.Init.Parity = UART_PARITY_NONE;

huart3.Init.Mode = UART_MODE_TX_RX;

huart3.Init.HwFlowCtl = UART_HWCONTROL_NONE;

huart3.Init.OverSampling = UART_OVERSAMPLING_16;

huart3.Init.OneBitSampling = UART_ONE_BIT_SAMPLE_DISABLE;

huart3.AdvancedInit.AdvFeatureInit = UART_ADVFEATURE_NO_INIT;

if (HAL_UART_Init(&huart3) != HAL_OK)

{

_Error_Handler(__FILE__, __LINE__);

}

}

Try this might be easier​

MX_USART3_UART_Init

if(cond)

{Cubesets}

else

{custom}

Or

Switch​

if (HAL_UART_Init(huarthandle) != HAL_OK)

{

_Error_Handler(__FILE__, __LINE__);

}

}

Main

​MX_USARThadle_UART_Init();

Your code....

​cond=false;// this moves into the else statement as defacto

​MX_USARThadle_UART_deInit();

MX_USARThadle_UART_Init(); // custom baud should work.

M​ight be cleaner and less issues as u keeping the standard cude init function and will make things easier moving forward on the fly.

​i tried this once by trying creating a new handle with the same setting. DeInit the cube settings and then tried to used my own handle Init wouldn't work. I think the method you have and the one I am suggesting might be the only way( if I remember the stm32 autobaud function gets trigged by a conditional statement aswell( something to do with the receive start byte).

Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.​

i need to increase the speed of the uart for a Bluetooth-UART module, first 115200bauds for AT commands and then 1Mbps for data mode.

In my head the code would be like this, but reading your comments i realiced it might not work

void changeUARTbaudrate(){
	HAL_UART_DeInit(&huart4);
	huart4.Init.BaudRate = 1000000;
	HAL_UART_Init(&huart4);
}

we dont need to firmware by ourselves, lets talk
