STM8AF5286 UART3/LINUART not sending data

[PPate.1]

My following code is not working for sending data over LINUART port of STM8AF5286. I am using STVD and STM8_Standard_Project_Template.

GPIO_Init(GPIOD, GPIO_PIN_5, GPIO_MODE_OUT_PP_HIGH_FAST);

UART3_DeInit();

UART3_Init(9600,UART3_WORDLENGTH_8D,UART3_STOPBITS_1,UART3_PARITY_NO,UART3_MODE_TX_ENABLE);

UART3_Cmd(ENABLE);

UART3_SendData8(0xAA);

Can you please guide me as why data (0xAA) is not coming out on PD5 pin of microcontroller?

Make sure GPIOD and UART3 clocks are enabled prior to configuration

[PPate.1]

Yes...clocks are enabled for all peripherals.

CLK->PCKENR1 = 0xFF;

CLK->PCKENR2 = 0xFF;

I tested GPIO Port D pin5 to go high and low as i write high or low through the code .

One more input - As i am using STM8AF5286 and in STM8 standard library i do not see any #define for STM8AF528x controllers and hence i have uncommented STM8AF52Ax in stm8s.h file. Please refer below section from this file.
