The project was designed to be running on a Blue Pill board (STM32F103C8T6) with 8MHz crystal. The firmware was written using only register operations (with ST headers) and CMSIS libraries. The HAL is there only for USB. The code is (quite) extensively commented where needed, so it shouldn't be very hard to understand.
### Demodulator
There are two demodulators (and decoders) running in parallel to provide better efficiency. The signal is sampled at 38400Hz (32 samples per symbol) by DMA. The interrupt is generated after receiving 4 samples and the samples are decimated. Then they are pushed through a preemphasis/deemphasis filter (if enabled) which equalizes tone amplitudes. Filtered samples are multiplied by locally generated mark and space tones (their I and Q parts - cosine and sine). This gives a correlation factor between the input signal and each tone. In the meanwhile an unfiltered symbol is produced to drive the data carrier detection PLL. The difference of correlation factors is the new sample and is pushed through a low pass filter to eliminate noise. Filtered samples are compared to zero and the demodulated symbol is sent to bit recovery mechanism.

### Bit recovery (and NRZI decoder)
Bit recovery mechanism is based on a digital PLL. The PLL is nominally running at 1200Hz (=1200 Baud). The symbol change should occur near PLL counter zero, so that the counter overflows in the middle of the symbol and the symbol value is sampled. With every symbol change the counter is multiplied by a <1 factor to bring it closer to zero, keeping the PLL and incoming signal in phase. The DCD signal is multiplexed from both modems. Explained more in [modem.c](Src/drivers/modem.c). Sampled symbol is decoded by NRZI decoder and sent to AX.25 layer.
