@par Description
How to use mail queues with CMSIS RTOS API.
This example creates two threads that send and receive mail the mail to send/receive
is a structure that holds three variables (var1 and var2 are uint32, var3 is a uint8)
One thread acts as a producer and the other as the consumer.
The consumer has a higher priority than the producer and is set to block on mail receiving.
The Mail queue has space for one item. The producer allocates the mail and puts it in the mail queue.
As soon as the producer posts a mail to the queue the consumer will unblock, preempt the producer,
get the mail and free it.
Add the following variables to LiveWatch, the three producer values must respectively remain
equal to the three consumer values all the time:
- ConsumerValue1 must remain equal to ProducerValue1
- ConsumerValue2 must remain equal to ProducerValue2
- ConsumerValue3 must remain equal to ProducerValue3
STM32 Eval board's LEDs can be used to monitor the example status:
- LED1 should toggle when the example runs successfully.
- LED3 toggles in a forever loop when any error occurs.
@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 need 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 according to
the OS resources memory requirements of the application with +10% margin and rounded to the
upper Kbyte boundary.

on STM32Cube with RTOS".

@par Hardware and Software environment
- This application runs on STM32F756xx/STM32F746xx devices.
- This example has been tested with STM327x6G_EVAL evaluation board and can be
easily tailored to any other supported device and development board.
- STM327x6G_EVAL Set-up
- Ensure that JP24 is in position 2-3 to use LED1.
- Ensure that JP23 is in position 2-3 to use LED3.
@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
