Embedded-hal: Change reference implementation to something more maintained

[TheZoq2]

While scrolling through the docs tooday, I noticed the line

The stm32f30x-hal crate contains a reference implementation of this HAL.

As far as I can tell, this crate hasn't been updated in two years, and is kind of superseded by the stm32-rs maintained version.

Therefore I think it would make sense to switch the reference implementation to something else, or to remove the line completely.

@TheZoq2 Which docs? Can you do a PR with the fix?

[TheZoq2]

I guess I should have clarified that :P. The main page of the docs on docs.rs https://docs.rs/embedded-hal/0.2.3/embedded_hal/#reference-implementation

I'll gladly do a PR, but i'm not sure what to replace it with. Is there still such a thing as a reference implementation? Perhaps we could link to the HAL section of awesome-embedded-rust instead

Good question. @jamesmunns can we stick this on the agenda for Tuesday? Personally, I think there should be a reference implementation - perhaps for lm3s811evb or lm3s6965evb emulated by QEMU.

@thejpster you probably want to ping @therealprof this week, I will likely not be there this week (same with the other issues you tagged).

I can rewrite this part of examples and remove not common code. Btw now I creating new clean PR for embedded-hal. Thanks

I noticed this today as well. I went back and found the wg minutes.
This issue was mentioned, but there were no notes on the result of the conversation.
Does anyone remember the result?

Looks like this is even more wrong in the 1.0.0.alpha version since the mentioned f3 crate is stuck at 0.2.0

Linking to #177

Now the stm32f3 is used directly. Closing.

The reference to stm32f30x-hal is still present in the docs. Reopening
