HI,

I have written the below code for my STM32F446RE Nucleo board. All I am trying to do is turn on Pin PA3, Pin PA2 and onboard LED Pin PA5. The code compiled and flashed successfully. But no success in turning on LED pins except onboard LED Pin PA5. I don't know why Pin PA3 and Pin PA2 is off?? Am I missing any register?? Need some help guys.

C:
// Enable clock access to the port.

// Set pin mode

// Set pin as o/p


#include "stm32f4xx.h"                           // Device header


#define RED                       (1U << 3)      // PIN PA3

#define VIOLET                    (1U << 2)      // PIN PA2

#define GREEN                     (1U << 5)      // PIN PA5 Onboard LED


#define GPIOA_CLOCK               (1U << 0)


#define RED_OUT_BIT               (1U << 6)      // General purpose output

#define VIOLET_OUT_BIT            (1U << 4)      // General purpose output

#define GREEN_OUT_BIT             (1U << 10)     // General purpose output


int main() {

    RCC -> AHB1ENR |= GPIOA_CLOCK;

    GPIOA -> MODER |= RED_OUT_BIT | VIOLET_OUT_BIT | GREEN_OUT_BIT;

    

    while(1) {

        GPIOA -> ODR |= RED | VIOLET | GREEN;

    }

}


Thank You
 
I can't say I know anything about your board or processor?, but for a 32 bit device you don't appear to be setting anything much up.

Even 8 bit modern PIC's have a plethora of settings you need to do to make them work at all - and I presume an STM32 will have even more (the Arduino IDE hides them, so you don't know they are there if you use the Arduino IDE).
 
Hi,
I am not using Arduino. I am using Keil MDK for my development. Most of the setting is taken care of by Keil. MCU has an internal RC oscillator clocked at 16MHz. The default clock for the MCU is the internal RC oscillator. I have already enabled clocked for port GPIOA.



All the three pins change its sate in debug mode, but only the onboard LED turns on. LEDs connected to Pin PA3 and Pin PA2 is off.

Which is your problem - the Arduino IDE makes it simple as everything is already done for you - looks like Keil isn't so friendly?.

Aren't there any Keil examples you could look at? - the classic 'hello world' type program is the usual starting point (called Blink on Arduino) which is what you're trying to do, surely there's a similar Keil example?.
