Problem with "official" LCD software example on STM32F4 Discovery Expansion Board

Former Member

Hi,

 

I've just started to use my STM32F4 discovery expansion board (discovery board, base board, LCD and camera) and as a first shot I want to try out the software examples found here:

 

http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-51670/l/stm32f4dis-bb-discover-more-software-examples

 

I've tried to run the LCD example called "LCD_35T" located in the folder "STM32F4xx_LCD_Example" but ran into some problems...

 

I'm using IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM as my IDE and have performed the following steps:

 

  • Open the project file located in "LCD_35T/EWARM" folder
  • Rebuild all --> Results in a successful build without errors/warnings
  • Download and debug --> Code is flashed and debugger started (using ST-LINK)
  • Running program (Go) --> Expecting LCD to show color bars according to the example but the screen is just white...


Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance for all response!

    I would like to try the examples but do not have the usual IDE's.  I'm currently downloading one now, a massive, 274MB that is going to take ~ 4 hours!  Could some kind soul post a working hex file to test the display so I know it is working before returning it to Farnell when really it is my software at fault. image

     

    Thanks Chuck for your link, I git cloned your repro ... but it is incomplete, Where is make.include, the readme mentions uart.c etc.

     

    A hex file would be great.  Farnell your people must have tested this stuff for suitability before selling it, surely you have some test files.
