Question

USB on H7: unable to open the port

Hello!

I'm migrating from STM32F7 to H7 MCU, but I incurred a strange problem (well, two strange problems...).

I have a QT program that opens COM ports by:

void Sensor_interface::open_port()
{
 if (Device_Sensor_Port.isEmpty())
 {
 qDebug()<<"No Sensor port present-"<<Device_Sensor_Port;
 }
 else
 {
 qDebug()<<"DEVICE Port" << Device_Sensor_Port; // It prints "COM3"
 sensor_used_port.setPortName(Device_Sensor_Port);
 sensor_used_port.setBaudRate(BAUDRATE_SENSOR); 
 sensor_used_port.setDataBits (QSerialPort::Data8);
 sensor_used_port.setParity(QSerialPort::NoParity);
 sensor_used_port.setStopBits (QSerialPort::OneStop);
 sensor_used_port.setFlowControl (QSerialPort::NoFlowControl);
 sensor_used_port.open (QIODevice::ReadOnly);
 sensor_used_port.setDataTerminalReady(true);
 }
}
 

and this function is OK with my F7.

On H7, instead, the COM port is correctly recognized (as COM3) but the open command fails:

bool QSerialPort::setDataTerminalReady(bool): device not open

If I open that port with another program, (i.e. ARDUINO terminal) all works great and I can see STM32H7 messages.

The second strange thing is that USB works only with the SWD debugger connected.

I use an STM32F446RE as an SWD debugger/programmer (it is on COM4). If I remove the USB connected to STM32F446RE, the system stop sending messages.

My H7 is externally supplied.

I can send the code if it is useful...

Thanks,

Mario
