Hi, 

I have it working but seem to get about 1/3 of the baud rate that I program into USART_InitStructure.USART_BaudRateIn other words, I have to set it to 9600*3 to get a baud rate of approximately 9600 baud.Maybe I have to change something in system_stm32f4xx.c but I'm not sure what?Thanks

My crystal ball says, that you attempt to use firmware intended for the STM32-EVAL board (with 25MHz crystal) on an 'F4 DISCOVERY (8MHz crystal). But my crystal ball used to be wrong at times.

From system_stm32f4xx.c:   * 4. The default value of HSE crystal is set to 25MHz, refer to ''HSE_VALUE'' define   *    in ''stm32f4xx.h'' file. When HSE is used as system clock source, directly or   *    through PLL, and you are using different crystal you have to adapt the HSE   *    value to your own configuration. JW

Thanks, your crystal ball was right!
