Good detective work Jan.

hi,

I hav'nt read all the comments so forgive me if I am being redundant. My experience with graphics was that you will hit bottlenecks with the memory available when you put graphics in your projects. Try and limit the res as well as number of files. I am working with an STM32F7 with a different discovery and the optimization will be the death of me.

for all purposes, select auto generated code wisely and if nothing works, try using a different optimizer setting. I am at the point where I am compiling using a custom make script but setting up things is a bit of a waste. Also I intend to pass this on to a customer who will have developers with 'simpler' minds so I need to package it such that they don't shoot themselves in the foot.

Please also share a blog or video with steps for your final process as it will be helpful. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-1decdb9b-c0dd-497f-9fe4-a40fed754428/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Cheers!

There must be a config file somewhere in TouchGFX to allow for setting the path to STM32CubeProgrammer and such.

One option would be to set it in the gcc/Makefile for the project:

TouchGFX 4.14.0 just recently came out so perhaps there are some issues with it. I did not seem to have these issues with 4.13.0 though.

Nice work getting past this though.

The installation page for TouchGFX does have messages concerning the location of the STM32CubeProgrammer. This still should be something that can be set tough.

Yes, got the CubeIDE and debugger integration working with the screen!

[mention:acaf6a9338de4eef8f6717d5561ed01d:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] well done as usual.

Some of the STM tools (TouchGFX Designer, batch files) expect that the Programmer is installed in your %ProgramFiles(x86)% folder.

I installed it somewhere else, and used windows symlink to fake it's installed there:

Open CMD as admin

output:

From that point on, you can directly build and load examples from TouchGFX Designer

(a new little success. Not yet from the CubeIDE, but a little first Hello, world!)

It's not the build program. Because when I use the command line STMCube programmer to load the binary made by CubeIDE (I used the build profile TouchGFX-STM32H7B3I-DK-Release), the firmware loads and works.

So it must be the debug settings for the project in CubeIDE .... Investigating further ...
