bool uart_getchar_available (char * c) - this routine returns a Boolean value determining if a buffer character could be read, in which case the value is found in parameter c. If there is no character in the buffer, the routine returns immediately and the result of the call is false.
The buffer gets data from UART reception.
Find out which UART you're using.

When you know that, locate it's data sheet (google "nameofmyuart data sheet").
Eg. http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/pc16550d.pdf
Locate the "register map" or programmer reference information.
Your're basically looking for
- the register that tells you characters are available
- the register where characters will be read from.
Find out how your UART is wired to your processor. Typically, your UART will appear at some hard-wired memory address.
Do you have an operating system on your processor?
Which compiler are you using?
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I'm using STM32F767 Nucleo. Yes, I have FreeRTOS in my CPU. I'm using SW4STM32 as my IDE. By the way, that bool function needs to be a task with normal priority in my operating system (FreeRTOS).Originally Posted by Salem
I am using STM32 Cube Mx, which uses HAL Library.
I'm using STM32F767 Nucleo and its operating system which is FreeRTOS. The bool function that I need to create needs to be used by a task with normal priority. The IDE that I'm using is SW4STM32 AC6 Eclipse.

An application note may contain a ready example.
The reference manual definitely tells you all you need to know, assuming you actually know how to program a UART once you've found it.
