Discrepancy in RCC_AHB4ENR Address for STM32H7A3RGT6

[FELM]

Hello,

I have designed a custom STM32 module using the STM32H7A3RGT6 microcontroller. In my design, PB9 is connected to an LED, and to verify the module's functionality, I attempted to toggle this LED.

Here’s where the issue arises: According to the STM32H7A3RGT6 reference manual, GPIOB is connected to the AHB4 bus, meaning its peripheral clock should be enabled using RCC_AHB4ENR. The manual specifies an offset of 0x140 for this register. However, when I use this offset in my code, the LED does not toggle, suggesting that the address is incorrect.

Interestingly, when I asked ChatGPT for the correct offset, it provided 0xE0—and when I used this value, the LED toggled successfully!

This raises concerns about the correctness of the reference manual or suggests that I may be missing something. Could you clarify why there is a discrepancy in the RCC_AHB4ENR address?


Here are my codes:

GPIO_DRIVER.H Code

#ifndef INC_STM32H7A3XX_GPIO_DRIVER_H_

#define INC_STM32H7A3XX_GPIO_DRIVER_H_

 

#ifndef GPIO_H

#define GPIO_H

 

#include <stdint.h>

 

// Base Addresses

#define RCC_BASE (0x58024400UL)

#define GPIOB_BASE (0x58020400UL)

 

// RCC Register

#define RCC_AHB4ENR (*(volatile uint32_t *)(RCC_BASE + 0xE0))

#define RCC_GPIOB_EN (1 << 1) // Bit 1 enables GPIOB clock

 

// GPIO Registers

#define GPIOB_MODER (*(volatile uint32_t *)(GPIOB_BASE + 0x00))

#define GPIOB_ODR (*(volatile uint32_t *)(GPIOB_BASE + 0x14))

 

// Function Prototypes

void GPIOB_Init(void);

void GPIOB_TogglePin(void);

 

#endif // GPIO_H

 

#endif /* INC_STM32H7A3XX_GPIO_DRIVER_H_ */

GPIO_DRIVER.c code

 

#include "stm32h7a3xx_gpio_driver.h"

 

 

 

// Enable GPIOB clock and configure PB9 as output

void GPIOB_Init(void) {

RCC_AHB4ENR |= RCC_GPIOB_EN; // Enable GPIOB clock

 

// Set PB9 as output (MODER9 = 01)

GPIOB_MODER &= ~(0b11 << (9 * 2)); // Clear MODER9 bits

GPIOB_MODER |= (0b01 << (9 * 2)); // Set MODER9 to 01 (output)

}

 

// Toggle PB9

void GPIOB_TogglePin(void) {

GPIOB_ODR ^= (1 << 9); // Toggle PB9

}

 

 

 LEDtoggle.c code

#include "Stm32h7a3xx_gpio_driver.h"

 

 

void delay(void) {

for (volatile int i = 0; i < 500000; i++);

}

 

int main(void) {

GPIOB_Init(); // Initialize PB9

 

while (1) {

GPIOB_TogglePin(); // Toggle LED on PB9

delay();

}

 

return 0;

}

Dear @FELM ,

Welcome in our Worldwide STCommunity and very pleased to introduce you to our members, your contribution is very appreciated and very detailed !

Most probably this is a Reference Manual defect/typo in Table 63 - Page 479 of RM0455 Rev11. We created an internal (#ticket number 206465 for future follow-up), 

If you look to our HAL CMSIS  cmsis-device-h7/Include/stm32h7a3xx.h at master · STMicroelectronics/cmsis-device-h7 · GitHub  the RCC  definition Registers is inline with your Comments  and it seems an offset is created in the Documentation map starting from Address of CKGAENR register
