UART overrrun error while using STM32L476RG - interrupt

Question

I am running my code on an STM32L476RG which generates a UART interrupt every time it receives data. I am using UART2 for this purpose and USART2_IRQHandler is called after I send data from my terminal. But inside HAL_UART_IRQHandler, my code gets stuck on an overrun error interrupt. What is the reason for this? I've been pulling my hair trying to figure out the source of the problem. Here is my code -
UART configuration -
void uart_config(void)
{
/* Configure the UART peripheral ######################################*/
/* Put the USART peripheral in UART Mode */
/* UART configured as follows:
- Word Length = 8 Bits
- Stop Bit = One Stop bit
- Parity = None
- BaudRate = 9600 baud
- Hardware flow control disabled (RTS and CTS signals) */
UartHandle.Instance = USARTx;//USART2
UartHandle.Init.BaudRate = 9600;
UartHandle.Init.WordLength = UART_WORDLENGTH_8B;
UartHandle.Init.StopBits = UART_STOPBITS_1;
UartHandle.Init.Parity = UART_PARITY_NONE;
UartHandle.Init.HwFlowCtl = UART_HWCONTROL_NONE;
UartHandle.Init.Mode = UART_MODE_TX_RX;
UartHandle.Init.OverSampling = UART_OVERSAMPLING_16;
UartHandle.AdvancedInit.AdvFeatureInit = UART_ADVFEATURE_NO_INIT;
if(HAL_UART_DeInit(&UartHandle) != HAL_OK)
{
sprintf(errvar,"This is line %d of file %s (function %s)\n", __LINE__, __FILE__, __func__);
Error_Handler(101); // See "error codes.txt"
}
if(HAL_UART_Init(&UartHandle) != HAL_OK)
{
sprintf(errvar,"This is line %d of file %s (function %s)\n", __LINE__, __FILE__, __func__);
Error_Handler(102); // See "error codes.txt"
}
/* Put UART peripheral in reception process */
if(HAL_UART_Receive_IT(&UartHandle, &aRxBuffer, 1) != HAL_OK)
{
sprintf(errvar,"This is line %d of file %s (function %s)\n", __LINE__, __FILE__, __func__);
Error_Handler(103); // See "error codes.txt"
}
#ifdef DEBUG_MODE
sprintf(dispvar,"UART = USART%d \n BAUDRATE = %d \n Word Length = 8 bits \n Stop Bit = 1 \nParity = None \n Flow Control = None \n Mode = TxRx ", 2,UartHandle.Init.BaudRate );
serial_printf();
#endif
}

Answer 1

I solved it myself. Looks like there was some problem in HAL UART .c and .h files. I just copied them from another example program for the same board and it works fine.
