@par Application Description

How to perform thread signaling from an interrupt using CMSIS RTOS API.

This example creates a threads that calls osSignalWait to wait for a signal to set bit1 and bit2 then toggles LED2.

SysTick_Handler calls the function "Toggle_Leds" 
Toggle_Leds calls osSignalSet to send a signal = bit1 to Thread2 if a static counter is equal to 400.
and calls osSignalSet to send a signal = bit1 | bit2 to Thread2 if a static counter is equal to 1000
  
As a result, the behaviour is as follows:
LED2 toggles every 1000 ms.


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

@note The FreeRTOS heap size configTOTAL_HEAP_SIZE defined in FreeRTOSConfig.h is set accordingly to the 
      OS resources memory requirements of the application with +10% margin and rounded to the upper Kbyte boundary.

@par Hardware and Software environment

  - This example runs on STM32F373xC devices.
    
  - This example has been tested with STM32373C-EVAL RevB board and can be
    easily tailored to any other supported device and development board.
    

@par How to use it ?

In order to make the program work, you must do the following:
 - Open your preferred toolchain 
 - Rebuild all files and load your image into target memory
 - Run the example
