Hello,
I'm struggling with a really strange issue. I'm trying to make UART RX working on a STM32G4 custom board.
I've followed the UART Interrupt tutorial. (https://wiki.st.com/stm32mcu/wiki/Getting_started_with_UART)
I've tested it with Nucleo-G431RB and it works fine.
Now I'm running the exact same code on my custom board and I have nothing, when using the debugger I can see that the interrupt is never fired. I've check hardware connections and everything seems OK.
I've also tried to implement UART_Receive by polling mode => I can see in the debugger that characters are received, so Hardware is OK.
Can someone help me with this issue ?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

I found a solution by adding "#define USER_VECT_TAB_ADDRESS" to the beginning of system_stm32g4xx.c. The interrupt vector table was not set correctly.
So what I did wrong when I've generate the code with MXCube ?
And why my old code was working on the Nucleo and not on my custom board ?

Perhaps there is a speed mismatch. Perhaps send a repetitive 'U' pattern and scope the signal.
Then try looping back the TX to RX.
What and how are you connecting to your current data source. The MCU is not designed to take RS232 level signals directly.

What's the transmitter?
Prepare a *minimum* but complete compilable example exhibiting the problem (i.e. works on Nucleo, doesn't work on your board) and post.

On Custom board is clock source (HSE) different? Have you changed HSE_VALUE define to reflect this? Baud rate computation depends on this being correct.

Hi,
I'm connecting RX and TX to an UART to USB chip (this one https://www.digikey.nl/nl/products/detail/sparkfun-electronics/DEV-15096/9817166?utm_adgroup=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PMax%20Shopping_Product_High%20ROAS&utm_term=&productid=9817166&utm_content=&utm_id=go_cmp-19662899439_adg-_ad-__dev-c_ext-_prd-9817166_sig-Cj0KCQjwqP2pBhDMARIs...) to send data from my computer to my custom board.
I've checked the output signal from this chip with the scope and I have 0 to 3.3V levels.

I use my PC through a UART to USB chip.

I use HSI 16MHz as clock source for LPUART1.

I'm using an FTDI chip to send data from my laptop. I've analysed levels on RX pin with a scope and I get 0 to 3.3V levels.
2023-10-30 07:19 AM
I've tried to communicate from my laptop to the Nucleo via the FTDI chip by using an other UART port on nucleo and it is working fine.

msg_available and anything else changed and depended upon under interrupt/callback context should be volatile.
Check for error/status issues that might block reception, ie noise, parity, framing, etc as these need to be explicitly cleared. Would recommend a pull-up on RX pin
Check for failure returns from HAL_UART_xxx() functions.
