This tutorial teaches how to program and use RS232 serial links on the NUCLEO-L476RG board and the L475 IoT Node Discovery Board (B-L475E-IOT01A). It shows how to create UART projects for each board in STM32CubeMX and TrueSTUDIO, and transmit test data over the UART interface. The goals are to get familiar with the boards, learn how to configure and use UART communication on each, and now be able to program and interface with the UART on both boards.

CREATE NUCLEO-L476RG UART PROJECT USING CUBEMX


 Create a new project using STM32CubeMX.
 Select NUCLEO-L476RG board using board selector.
 Answer Yes to Initialize all peripherals with their default Mode ? popup.
 In Pinout tab that USART2 mode in configured to Asynchronous, PA2 is connected to USART2_TX and
PA3 is connected to USART2_RX.

 Click on USART2 button in Configuration tab and set Word Length to 8


Bits .
 Make sure that the settings are as in the screenshot below:

 Disable all other USARTs.


 Click on Apply then OK.

 Go to Project menu and click on Settings. Select TrueSTUDIO as Toolchain / IDE, give a name to your
project then click OK .
 Click on Project then Generate Code and accept to open your project in TrueSTUDIO.

EDIT AND COMPILE NUCLEO-L476RG UART PROJECT USING TRUESTUDIO
 Open main.c in Project Explorer / myproject / Src / main.com.
 Insert the following lines:
uint8_t Test[] = "Hello World !!!\r\n"; //Data to send
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2,Test,sizeof(Test),10);// Sending in normal mode
HAL_Delay(1000);
between /* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */ and /* USER CODE END 3 */
 Click on Build button to compile the project.
 Click in Debug button to run the software.
 Click on Console button to open a console, select Data bits: 8 and click OK . Port name may differ on
your PC.
 TrueSTUDIO will open Debug perspective. Click on Resume button to execute your code.
 Terminal Window will display Hello World !!! string confirming you were able to program and use RS232.
