@par Example Description 

This example describes how to use an UART to transmit data (transmit/receive)
between a board and an HyperTerminal PC application in Interrupt mode. This example
provides a description of how to use USART peripheral through the STM32F1xx UART HAL
and LL API (LL API usage for performance improvement).

Board: STM32F103RB-Nucleo
Tx Pin: PA.02
Rx Pin: PA.03

  |_STM32_Board_____________|                      

At the beginning of the main program the HAL_Init() function is called to reset 
all the peripherals, initialize the Flash interface and the systick.
Then the SystemClock_Config() function is used to configure the system
clock (SYSCLK) to run at 72 MHz for STM32F1xx Devices.

The UART peripheral configuration is ensured by the HAL_UART_Init() function.
This later is calling the HAL_UART_MspInit()function which core is implementing
the configuration of the needed UART resources according to the used hardware.
You may update this function to change UART configuration.

The UART/Hyperterminal communication is then initiated.
Receive and Transmit functions which allow respectively 
the reception of Data from Hyperterminal and the transmission of a predefined data 
buffer, are implemented using LL USART API.

The Asynchronous communication aspect of the UART is clearly highlighted as the  
data buffers transmission/reception to/from Hyperterminal are done simultaneously.

For this example the TxBuffer is predefined and the RxBuffer size is limited to 
10 data by the mean of the RXBUFFERSIZE define in the main.c file.

In a first step the received data will be stored in the RxBuffer buffer and the 
TxBuffer buffer content will be displayed in the Hyperterminal interface.
In a second step the received data in the RxBuffer buffer will be sent back to 
Hyperterminal and displayed.

STM32 Nucleo board's LEDs can be used to monitor the transfer status:
 - LED2 toggles when the transmission process is complete.
 - LED2 stays ON when the reception process is complete.
 - LED2 is OFF when there is an error in transmission/reception process.  

The UART is configured as follows:
    - BaudRate = 9600 baud  
    - Word Length = 8 Bits (7 data bit + 1 parity bit)
    - One Stop Bit
    - Odd parity
    - Hardware flow control disabled (RTS and CTS signals)
    - Reception and transmission are enabled in the time

@note USARTx/UARTx instance used and associated resources can be updated in "main.h"
      file depending hardware configuration used.
      For example, current example is provided in a configuration based on Virtual Com Port use (USART2).
      Another USART instance could be used, assuming corresponding TX and RX pins are properly wired 
      to PC Com port (updates to be done accordinlgy in main.h).

@note When the parity is enabled, the computed parity is inserted at the MSB
      position of the transmitted data.

@note Care must be taken when using HAL_Delay(), this function provides accurate delay (in milliseconds)
      based on variable incremented in SysTick ISR. This implies that if HAL_Delay() is called from
      a peripheral ISR process, then the SysTick interrupt must have higher priority (numerically lower)
      than the peripheral interrupt. Otherwise the caller ISR process will be blocked.
      To change the SysTick interrupt priority you have to use HAL_NVIC_SetPriority() function.
      
@note The application needs to ensure that the SysTick time base is always set to 1 millisecond
      to have correct HAL operation.

@par Hardware and Software environment

  - This example runs on STM32F103xB devices.
    
  - This example has been tested with STMicroelectronics STM32F103RB-Nucleo board and can be
    easily tailored to any other supported device and development board.    
      
  - STM32F103RB-Nucleo Set-up
    Example is delivered for using Virtual Com port feature of STLINK for connection between STM32F103RB-Nucleo and PC,
    Please ensure that USART communication between the target MCU and ST-LINK MCU is properly enabled 
    on HW board in order to support Virtual Com Port (Default HW SB configuration allows use of VCP)
    GPIOs connected to USART2 TX/RX (PA.02 and PA.03) are automatically mapped
    on RX and TX pins of PC UART Com port selected on PC side (please ensure VCP com port is selected).

  - Launch serial communication SW on PC (as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm) with proper configuration 
    - Word Length = 7 Bits
    - One Stop Bit
    - Odd parity
    - BaudRate = 9600 baud
    - flow control: None
