startup

1. Power requirements: 3.3-5V
2. Reset circuit (100nF cap)
3. Select clock source (ext.crystal/HSI)
4. Choose halt modes for
   1. flash
   2. HSI, HSE
5. use timer or AWU for wake-up if no ext.ints
6. calibrate LSI osc.
7. configure GPIO
8. use watchdog

AWU

• on int disable AWU (or new int will be generated instantly)
• before re-enable re-load counter

UART

- word length: UART_CR1.M
- stop bits: UART_CR3
- baud rate: UART_BRR2 then UART_BRR1
- en transmitter: UART_CR2.TEN
- send data: UART_DR and wait until TC goes 1

TXE: set at end of transmission (and if TIEN then int is generated) - can send more

TC: transmission complete (and if TCIEN then int is generated) - may disable transmitter
