Question
STM8AF6223A UART 4 RXNE Flag is not set
I have a STM8AF6223A Processor connected to another processor on Pin 2, UART TX and Pin 3, UART RX.
The oscilloscope verifies that both processors send correctly, 19200 Baud, 8bit Data, no parity, 1 stop bit.
The STM8 processor receives the data in the UART4->DR register mostly correct, but not always correct. How is it possible that the RXNE Flag does not get set?
I am using the stdlib STM8S/A Standard Peripherals Library V2.3.1 26-April-2018. The IDE is ST Visual Develop with the Cosmic Compiler.
This is my example code:
The waitCounter always increases to 1000, the RXNE Flag is never set. At the same time the other processor sends 0x55 constantly, the data is available.
