Hi,
First a small premise, the support is given by volunteers, please try to find answers first by yourself by:
- Reading and Data Sheet and the Reference Manual for device-related questions.
- Reading the documentation and the articles available here:

http://www.chibios.org/dokuwiki/doku.ph ... cles:start
http://wiki.chibios.org/dokuwiki/doku.p ... :documents
- Reading the community-contributed guides available here: http://wiki.chibios.org/dokuwiki/doku.p ... :community
- Searching the forum in order to see if your question has been already answered. It is better to search using Google and by restricting the result to this forum by adding: site:forum.chibios.org to your search query. The forum search does not function well.
If all the above fails then ask on the forum by giving as much information as possible, at very minimum:
1) Which platform, for example STM32F4xx.
2) ChibiOS version used.
3) Nature of the problem and effects.
For hard to debug problems it is a good idea to attach a small project, that would enable us to help with debugging. Keep the project *minimal*. Read this topic about submitting reports.
Various answered questions:
About Kernel
I lock state or S lock state?
Event not triggering
See also this contributed guide about events:
Serial and UART drivers
Difference between UART and Serial driver
Events and Serial Driver
ADC
ADCConversionGroup in ChibiOS 2.6
DMA
SPI1 DMA already allocated
PAL
PAL differnce between PORT and PAD ?
PWM
Dynamic PWM channel configuration?
USB
Configuring the USB on the STM32L1xx
I2C
Generic troubleshooting guide
I2C No ack error
CAN
CAN Frames not received on STM3210C-EVAL
µGFX
