conflicting declaration 'arduino::HardwareSerial Serial1'

Hi !
Version 3.0.0 throws an error

`
#define Serial1_RX PA10 // Serial1 RX
#define Serial1_TX PA9 // Serial1 TX

HardwareSerial Serial1(Serial1_RX, Serial1_TX);

void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
}

Hi @acronis2000
3.0.0 release deployed the ArduinoCore-API.
HardwareSerial has been renamed Uart.

That's why major release number changed. See #2879.

Could you please show the proper syntax to use?

Hi,

The issue is that since 3.0.0 (see 2d23c7c), the stm32duino concrete serial class is now Uart instead of HardwareSerial.

So this old syntax is no longer valid:

HardwareSerial Serial1(Serial1_RX, Serial1_TX);

It should now be:

Uart Serial1(Serial1_RX, Serial1_TX);

So the migration is basically:

HardwareSerial -> Uart

Thanks.
