Can't we use HAL_Delay() inside an Interrupt Service Routine ?

[DextroLaev]

I am new to stm32, I have a stm32F407VG discovery board. I tried to implement an interrupt using the user button and added HAL_Delay() inside the interrupt function. After I press the Button the Interrupt execute but it got stuck there, it is not coming back to main(). What should I do to handle this ?

Yes, but it's not best practice.

You need to ensure the SysTick interrupt still fires, so SysTick must be at a higher preemption priority (numerically lower) than the interrupt you're currently in.

Problematic in ISR and call-backs that HAL makes from same interrupt context.

Figure out a better way of coming back later to follow up.

Or change the SysTick to have the highest priority, at its own preemption level, keeping it very short.

Problem solved by reducing the interrupt priority.
