I'm programming a STM32F407VG chip on the STM32F4Discovery board using CooCox CoIDE. I've stitched together a program based on some examples and tutorials I found online to get USART1 through pins PB6 and PB7, and USB-serial through the microusb port. I can get both working independently, but when I put them together, the USART doesn't work properly and sometimes spews out garbage. It seems that initializing the system clock changed my USART baudrate of 9600, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Here is my code:
#define HSE_VALUE ((uint32_t)8000000) /* STM32 discovery uses a 8Mhz external crystal */
#include <stdio.h>
#include "misc.h"
#include "stm32f4xx_usart.h"

#include "usbd_usr.h"
#include "usbd_desc.h"
#include "usbd_cdc_vcp.h"
#include "usb_dcd_int.h"
#define MAX_STRLEN 12 // max string length in characters
volatile char received_string[MAX_STRLEN+1];
volatile uint32_t ticker, downTicker;
