@par Description
How to use semaphores with CMSIS RTOS API.
This application creates two threads that toggle LEDs through a shared semaphore.
The first thread which has the higher priority obtains the semaphore and
toggles the LED1 each 200 ms. After 5 seconds it releases the semaphore and
suspends itself.
The low priority thread can execute now, it obtains the
semaphore and resume execution of the first thread, as it has the higher
priority the first thread will try to obtain the semaphore but it fails
because the semaphore is already taken by the low
priority thread, which will toggle the LED2 for 5 seconds before releasing
the semaphore and begin a new cycle.
@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 according 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 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.
@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
