I am using STM32F103VBT6

Which part/package are you using exactly?

USART2 at 9600 would work like this

int main(void)

{

USART_InitTypeDef USART_InitStructure;

GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStructure;

RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOA | RCC_APB2Periph_AFIO, ENABLE);

RCC_APB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB1Periph_USART2, ENABLE);

USART_InitStructure.USART_BaudRate = 9600;

USART_InitStructure.USART_WordLength = USART_WordLength_8b;

USART_InitStructure.USART_StopBits = USART_StopBits_1;

USART_InitStructure.USART_Parity = USART_Parity_No ;

USART_InitStructure.USART_HardwareFlowControl = USART_HardwareFlowControl_None;

USART_InitStructure.USART_Mode = USART_Mode_Rx | USART_Mode_Tx;

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_2; // UART2 Tx PA.2

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF_PP;

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;

GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStructure);

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_3; // UART2 Rx PA.3

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_IN_FLOATING;

GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStructure);

USART_Init(USART2, &USART_InitStructure);

USART_Cmd(USART2, ENABLE);

while(1)

USART_SendData(USART2,'A');

}

clive, thank you for the examples. I think since I have access to PA2 I will cut/paste the second example at 9600bps. Do I need to do anything else like setting up closks or any other woodo? Also, do you think that the since the ST is a 3v device that there could be some logic-level issues when using it with a ttl converter? In any case, thanks everyone for your help, at least now I have a starting code that works -- when I get back to work I'll get the scope and check the levels.

Thanks again.

The clocks would only be need to be setup explicitly if you were using synchronous serial modes. The code fragment provided for USART1 was all that was needed on the device. I wasn't remapping the USART so the AFIO clocks might be overkill, I usually enable them, ST does so in the boot loader.

My USART1 is connected up to a debug terminal via a FTDI DLP-RXTX, these boards have a solder jumper so you can switch the IO between 5V, or the voltage (3V/3.3V) supplied by the STM32

http://www.dlpdesign.com/dlptxrx-v12-ds.pdf

A quick check of the manual suggests that the USART1 pins are 5V tolerant, the

USART2

pins are NOT.

Edit: USART2 pins can be remapped to PD.5/PD.6 on the LQFP100 package, these pins are 5V tolerant. I don't have the ST decoder wheel to hand so not sure that is your part, other than it's a Medium Density part.

Clive,

5v Tollerance would be preferred (since It'll be driving fiber optic transcievers) I'll solder up pin 68,69 (PA9/PA10) and give it a try -- I'll let you know.
