Unable to View Output from STM32 Board via Serial Port
Greeting Everyone,
I am facing an issue with my STM32 board having STM32F103C8T6 as MCU, while trying to see a normal "Hello World" output. After debugging the board, I attempted to connect it to my PC via the serial port. To ensure proper communication, I installed the necessary Virtual COM Port drivers from the STM32 website.
However, my PC is not detecting the COM port to which the STM32 board is connected. Additionally, when I try to view the output on the Debugger Console within STM32CubeIDE, I encounter an error that prevents me from seeing the expected output.
I have written the code below that I'm using to print the Hello World which I have found online. Also I do not know if their is any problem on the code. With this I have also attached the Pin Configuration and Clock configuration details below as images.
#include "main.h"

int i=0;
for(i=0;i<len;i++)

}

count ++;
printf("Hello World count = %d \n",count);
HAL_Delay(250);
}

#endifCould you please assist me in resolving this issue? I would appreciate any guidance or troubleshooting steps you can provide to help me get the serial communication working and view the output correctly.
Thank you for your support!
Best regards,
