CMSIS-Driver USART Setup

The CMSIS-Driver USART requires:

  • Setup of USART/UART mode (Asynchronous, Synchronous, Single wire, IrDA or SmartCard)

Valid settings for various evaluation boards are listed in the table below:

Peripheral Resource STM32H743I-EVAL
USART Peripheral USART1
USART Mode Synchronous
TX Pin PB14
RX Pin PB15
CK Pin PA8

For different boards, refer to the hardware schematics to reflect correct setup values.

The STM32CubeMX configuration for STM32H743I-EVAL with steps for Pinout, Clock, and System Configuration are listed below. Enter the values that are marked bold.

Pinout tab

  1. Configure USART1 mode
    • Peripherals USART1: Mode=Synchronous

Clock Configuration tab

  1. Configure USART1 Clock.

Configuration tab

  1. Under Connectivity open USART1 Configuration:
    • optional DMA Settings: setup DMA transfers for Rx and Tx (DMA is optional)
      Add - Select USART1_RX: Stream=DMA1 Channel 3, DMA Request Settings: not used
      Add - Select USART1_TX: Stream=DMA1 Channel 4, DMA Request Settings: not used
    • GPIO Settings: review settings, no changes required
      Pin Name Signal on Pin GPIO mode GPIO Pull-up/Pull..Maximum out User Label
      PB14 USART1_TX Alternate Pull-up Very High .
      PB15 USART1_RX Alternate Pull-up Very High .
      PA8 USART1_CK Alternate No pull-up and no..Very High .
      - NVIC Settings: enable interrupts
      Interrupt Table Enable Preemption Priority Sub Priority
      USART1 global interrupt ON 0 0
      DMA1 stream3 global interrupt ON 0 0
      DMA1 stream4 global interrupt ON 0 0
      - Parameter Settings: not used
    • User Constants: not used
    • Click OK to close the USART1 Configuration dialog
  2. Open Project - Settings - Advanced Settings from the menu and enable "Not Generate Function call" for MX_USART1_Init
