USART1 is configured using code generated by CubeMX to run at 9600 8N1 in FIFO mode with Rx FIFO threshold set to 7/8 full. Receive is done via interrupts into an 80-byte buffer and callbacks are used to transfer data out of the 80-byte buffer. Everything seems to run as expected here.
Then I configure receive timeout and enable the interrupt. That's when I observe (using a GPIO toggle) the USART1 ISR running every 1.5 us or so even when no data is being received. When I break execution with a debugger, the overrun flag is set.
Why is it that when receive timeout is enabled, I get rx overruns?
I noted that the overruns start about 4 UART bytes after a call to HAL_UART_Receive_IT(). Without receive timeout interrupt enabled, the ISR runs every 7 UART bytes, which is expected for a 7/8 Rx FIFO threshold.
This is using stm32h7xx HAL v1.6.0.
Thanks! (code and scope trace are below)
