@par Example Description 

This example provides a basic communication between USARTy and USARTz in 
Half-Duplex mode using flags. USARTy and USARTz can be USART1 and USART2 or
USART2 and USART3, depending on the STMicroelectronics EVAL board you are using.

First, the USARTy sends data from TxBuffer1 buffer to USARTz using TXE flag.
Data received using RXNE flag by USARTz is stored in RxBuffer2 then compared with
the sent ones and the result of this comparison is stored in the "TransferStatus1" 
variable.
 
Then, the USARTz sends data from TxBuffer2 buffer to USARTy using TXE flag.
Data received using RXNE flag by USARTy is stored in RxBuffer1 then compared with
the sent ones and the result of this comparison is stored in the "TransferStatus2" 
variable.     

USARTy and USARTz configured as follow:
  - BaudRate = 230400 baud  
  - Word Length = 8 Bits
  - One Stop Bit
  - Even parity
  - Hardware flow control disabled (RTS and CTS signals)
  - Receive and transmit enabled

@par Hardware and Software environment 

  - This example runs on STM32F10x Connectivity line, High-Density, Medium-Density 
    and Low-Density Devices.
  
  - This example has been tested with STMicroelectronics STM3210C-EVAL (STM32F10x 
    Connectivity line), STM3210E-EVAL (STM32F10x High-Density) and STM3210B-EVAL
    (STM32F10x Medium-Density) evaluation boards and can be easily tailored to
    any other supported device and development board.
    To select the STMicroelectronics evaluation board used to run the example, 
    uncomment the corresponding line in USART/HalfDuplex/platform_config.h file

  - STM3210C-EVAL Set-up 
    - Connect USART2 Tx pin (PD.05) to USART3 Tx pin (PC.10) and connect a 
      pull-up resistor to this line (10K).  
      @note In this case USART3 Tx pin is remapped by software.
            Make sure that jumpers JP19 and JP18 are open.
            
  - STM3210E-EVAL Set-up 
    - Connect USART1_Tx(PA.09) to USART2_Tx(PA.02) and connect a pull-up resistor to 
      this line (10K).  

  - STM3210B-EVAL Set-up   
    - Connect USART1_Tx(PA.09) to USART2_Tx(PD.05) and connect a pull-up resistor to 
      this line (10K). 
  
@par How to use it ? 

In order to make the program work, you must do the following :
- Create a project and setup all project configuration
- Add the required Library files :
  - stm32f10x_gpio.c 
  - stm32f10x_rcc.c 
  - stm32f10x_usart.c
  - system_stm32f10x.c (under Libraries\CMSIS\Core\CM3)
    
- Edit stm32f10x.h file to select the device you are working on.
- Edit USART/HalfDuplex/platform_config.h file to select the evaluation board you will use.
  
@b Tip: You can tailor the provided project template to run this example, for 
        more details please refer to "stm32f10x_stdperiph_lib_um.chm" user 
        manual; select "Peripheral Examples" then follow the instructions 
        provided in "How to proceed" section.   
- Link all compiled files and load your image into target memory
- Run the example

@note
 - Low-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where
   the Flash memory density ranges between 16 and 32 Kbytes.
 - Medium-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where
   the Flash memory density ranges between 32 and 128 Kbytes.
 - High-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where
   the Flash memory density ranges between 256 and 512 Kbytes.
 - Connectivity line devices are STM32F105xx and STM32F107xx microcontrollers.
