I'm using the HAL_UART_Receive_IT function on stm32f303re to recieve data. After each use I want to delete the content of the receive buffer so that the next data that will arrive will start at the first index of the array. Is there a function to delete the content of the receive buffer of the function HAL_UART_Receive_IT(&huart, buffer, sizeofbuffer)?
the receive buffer of the HAL_UART_Receive_IT behaves like a ringbuffer, the new data is stored starting from the index after the previous received data

The HAL should provide two functions, one to see, that at least one byte was available and another to read out a byte from the FIFO. Manipulating the internal FIFO structure should be avoided in general. It may cause hassle.
