How to start learning HAL library (beside the datasheet)

[GGODA]

Hello,

I learned to blink a led as well as using the user's button to make interrupt using HAL library and CubeMX

However I learnt that through tutorials.

I tried to learn more thanks to the datasheet but it doesn't really help. For instance, the ReadPin function part doesn't give many instructions since it's just written"HAL_GPIO_ReadPin()". Therefore, I wouldn't have known what to put in the parenthesis without youtube.

So is there any (fan made) in deep guide about HAL library? (or something else)

Thanks 🙂

Hello,

You can refer to the User Manual relevent to your device " Description of STM32XXxx HAL and Low-layer drivers"

The user manual provides an overview of the HAL drivers and detailed each peripheral driver: configuration structures, functions, and how to use the given API to build your application.

Not a Fan here, but all the source is provided and internally documented, and there is a heap of examples under the HAL trees of the cube repository.
