Arduino_core_STM32 support (improved) (#1571)

* Arduino_core_STM32 support v1 after three previous attempts failed or were abandoned (#1422, #1437, #1486) * fixed compile warning on redefined (v)snprintf * add missing WDG reset, harden VREF and ATEMP to fail gracefully when not available

+# MySensors STM32 Architecture Support
+
+This directory contains the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) implementation for STM32 microcontrollers using the official **STM32duino Arduino core**.
+
+## Overview
+
+The STM32 HAL enables MySensors to run on a wide range of STM32 microcontrollers, including:
+
+- **STM32F0** series (Cortex-M0)
+- **STM32F1** series (Cortex-M3) - Note: This is separate from the old STM32F1 maple implementation
+- **STM32F4** series (Cortex-M4 with FPU)
+- **STM32L0/L4** series (Low-power Cortex-M0+/M4)
+- **STM32G0/G4** series (Cortex-M0+/M4)
+- **STM32H7** series (Cortex-M7)
+
+## Supported Boards
+
+Tested on:
+- **STM32F401CC Black Pill** (84 MHz, 256KB Flash, 64KB RAM)
+- **STM32F411CE Black Pill** (100 MHz, 512KB Flash, 128KB RAM)
+
+Should work on any STM32 board supported by the STM32duino core.
+
+## Features
+
+### Implemented ✅
+- [x] Serial communication (USB CDC and Hardware UART)
+- [x] SPI interface for radios (nRF24L01+, RFM69, RFM95)
+- [x] EEPROM emulation using Flash memory
+- [x] Watchdog support (requires explicit initialization)
+- [x] System reboot
+- [x] Random number generation (using internal temperature sensor)
+- [x] Unique device ID (96-bit STM32 UID)
+- [x] CPU voltage reading (via VREFINT)
+- [x] CPU temperature reading (via internal sensor)
+- [x] CPU frequency reporting
+- [x] Critical section (interrupt disable/restore)
+- [x] RAM routing table support
+
+### Planned 🔄
+- [ ] Low-power sleep modes (STOP, STANDBY)
+- [ ] RTC-based timekeeping
+- [ ] Interrupt-based wake from sleep
+- [ ] Free memory reporting (heap analysis)
+
+## Pin Mapping

+## Sketch Configuration
+
+### Basic Gateway Example
+
+```cpp
+// Enable debug
+#define MY_DEBUG
+
+// Gateway mode
+#define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL
+
+// Radio configuration
+#define MY_RADIO_RF24
+#define MY_RF24_CE_PIN PB0
+#define MY_RF24_CS_PIN PA4
+
+#include <MySensors.h>
+
+void setup() {
+    // MySensors initializes automatically
+}
+
+void presentation() {
+    sendSketchInfo("STM32 Gateway", "1.0");
+}
+
+void loop() {
+    // Add sensor reading code here
+}
+```
+
+### Basic Sensor Node Example
+
+```cpp
+#define MY_DEBUG
+#define MY_RADIO_RF24
+#define MY_RF24_CE_PIN PB0
+#define MY_RF24_CS_PIN PA4
+#define MY_NODE_ID 10
+
+#include <MySensors.h>
+
+#define CHILD_ID_TEMP 0
+MyMessage msgTemp(CHILD_ID_TEMP, V_TEMP);
+
+void setup() {
+    // Setup code
+}
+
+void presentation() {
+    sendSketchInfo("STM32 Sensor", "1.0");
+    present(CHILD_ID_TEMP, S_TEMP);
+}
+
+void loop() {
+    float temperature = 22.5; // Read from sensor
+    send(msgTemp.set(temperature, 1));
+    sleep(60000); // Sleep for 1 minute
+}
+```
+
+## EEPROM Emulation
+
+The STM32 HAL uses the STM32duino EEPROM library, which provides Flash-based EEPROM emulation:
+
+- **Size**: Configurable, typically 1-4KB
+- **Location**: Last Flash page(s)
+- **Wear leveling**: Implemented by STM32duino core
+- **Persistence**: Survives power cycles and resets
+- **Write cycles**: ~10,000 writes per page (Flash limitation)
+
+Configuration is automatic. EEPROM size can be adjusted in the STM32duino menu or via build flags.
+
+## Low-Power Considerations
+
+### Current Status
+Sleep modes are **NOT YET IMPLEMENTED** in this initial release. Calling `sleep()` functions will return `MY_SLEEP_NOT_POSSIBLE`.
+
+### Future Implementation
+The STM32 supports several low-power modes:
+- **Sleep mode**: ~10mA (CPU stopped, peripherals running)
+- **Stop mode**: ~10-100µA (CPU and most peripherals stopped)
+- **Standby mode**: ~1-10µA (only backup domain active)
+
+Implementation will use:
+- RTC for timed wake-up
+- EXTI for interrupt wake-up
+- Backup SRAM for state retention
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Compilation Errors
+
+**Error: `Hardware abstraction not defined`**
+- Solution: Ensure you're using STM32duino core, not Arduino STM32 (maple)
+- The platform should define `ARDUINO_ARCH_STM32`
+
+**Error: `EEPROM.h not found`**
+- Solution: Update STM32duino core to latest version (2.0.0+)
+
+**Error: Undefined reference to `__disable_irq`**
+- Solution: Ensure CMSIS is included (should be automatic with STM32duino)
+
+### Upload Issues
+
+**Upload fails with ST-Link**
+- Check ST-Link connections (SWDIO, SWCLK, GND, 3.3V)
+- Verify ST-Link firmware is up to date
+- Try: `st-flash reset` to reset the chip
+
+**DFU mode not detected**
+- Set BOOT0 jumper to 1 (3.3V)
+- Press reset button
+- Verify with: `dfu-util -l`
+- After upload, set BOOT0 back to 0 (GND)
+
+### Runtime Issues
+
+**Serial monitor shows garbage**
+- Check baud rate matches (default 115200)
+- USB CDC may require driver on Windows
+- Try hardware UART instead
+
+**Radio not working**
+- Verify 3.3V power supply (nRF24 needs clean power)
+- Check SPI pin connections
+- Add 10µF capacitor across radio VCC/GND
+- Verify CE and CS pin definitions
+
+**EEPROM not persisting**
+- EEPROM emulation requires Flash write access
+- Check for debug mode preventing Flash writes
+- Verify sufficient Flash space for EEPROM pages
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### STM32F411CE Black Pill
+- **CPU**: 100 MHz ARM Cortex-M4F
+- **Flash**: 512KB
+- **RAM**: 128KB
+- **Current**: ~50mA active, <1µA standby (when implemented)
+- **MySensors overhead**: ~30KB Flash, ~4KB RAM
+
+### Benchmarks (preliminary)
+- **Radio message latency**: <10ms (similar to AVR)
+- **EEPROM read**: ~50µs per byte
+- **EEPROM write**: ~5ms per byte (Flash write)
+- **Temperature reading**: ~100µs
