STM32CubeIDE and TouchGFX 4.10.0: Resolving compilation issues

Hi everyone,

I've removed the previous, textual guide. Instead, here's a video guide on how to get CubeIDE and TouchGFX working on an STM32F746G-DISCO board. I accidentally exported the video in 720p but have created a 1080p version. Leaving both links here because the 720p version may have useful comments and resolutions:

1080p: https://youtu.be/VOs2LYO7wSA

720p: https://youtu.be/xZ0pPhQCQUY

And here's the project i created and modified:

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D50X0000At0N95SQE/cubeide-100-touchgfx-4100-working-project-inside-stm32f746gdisco

(NOTE: This project does not have the modifications from our STM32F746G-DISCO/CubeMX article).

Best regards,

Martin

Hi Martin, this your post is very precious, I'll try asap and I'll write a feedback for sure. Maybe some screenshots could be very helpful for better understandings 5/6/7 steps. THANKS!!!;)

Hi @Martin KJELDSEN ,

This tutorial worked for me! Only one thing that I needed to change was NOT excluding from build the OSWrappers.ccp, because if I exclude I get error generating .ELF file in touchgfx::OSWrappers::signalVSync() call.

So I included again and it worked!

Thanks for the tutorial.

Regards!

Hi @eng23,

Glad it helped. The reason for excluding the OSWrappers.cpp is because there may be two versions of it (+OSWrappers_cmsis.cpp). I guess you didn't have that one in your project? Maybe i'll update the guide to be more clear about this.

Hi @Martin KJELDSEN ,

I searched for this file but I don't have it, neither in cmsis files.

Sorry, I can't get this to work.

During step 3 when I should build my project I get the following:

Another note on that step:

Shouldn't you make sure that the LCD RESET Pin XRES is tied to PI12 [LCD_DISP...] ?

Hi,

In step 3 you will have errors because touchgfx files are not generated at this moment, you must execute until step 7 to compile without errors.

About the reset pint question you are right, is necessary to set this. You can follow this other tutorial about CubeMX settings, because there are others like QUADSPI, LTDC...

Hi @Martin KJELDSEN , Can I follow the same method to use STM32L4R9-EVAL board with 1315A LCD?

Is there a reason TouchGFX is not enabled with CubeIDE on this platform? Only STemWIN shows up.

Thanks!

Martin KJELDSENAuthor

There's a good reason, yes. That combination is not supported yet from CubeMX side. It will be in version 6.0 at the end of the year - I know that's not very encouraging :\

Hi Martin,

Even if it's not supported from CubeMX side (which just means that TGFX files are not populated and IDE right configured automatically), it would be nice to have the same kind of working project on L4R9 (ideally + DPI screen) in CubeIDE, as a proven/checked guide.

It would suppose for us manually changes to update gui parts during dev but at least it would be usefull to be sure on the correct files choice and right configuration on this board.

It would be an acceptable solution to wait the full integration at the end of the year.

Thanks.

Hi Martin,

I've followed the guide, the only (minor) issue I found was the path

\Middlewares\ST\TouchGFX\touchgfx\lib\core\cortex_mx\gcc\

for me is actually

\Middlewares\ST\TouchGFX\touchgfx\lib\core\cortex_m7\gcc\

I can test that most of the steps have been successful by checking what issues they cause when omitted, however unfortunately I still have a problem:

arm-none-eabi-g++ -o "car3.elf" @"objects.list" -ltouchgfx-float-abi-hard -mcpu=cortex-m7 -T"C:\Users\Morgan\STM32CubeIDE\workspace_1.0.0\car3\STM32F746NGHX_FLASH.ld" --specs=nosys.specs -Wl,-Map="car3.map" -Wl,--gc-sections -static -L"../ \Middlewares\ST\TouchGFX\touchgfx\lib\core\cortex_m7\gcc\" --specs=nano.specs -mfpu=fpv5-sp-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard -mthumb -Wl,--start-group -lc -lm -lstdc++ -lsupc++ -Wl,--end-group

Hi Morgan, yes, the x was supposed to refer to the core (e.g. x = 4f or 7). Sorry that wasn't more clear.

Seems like there's an error in the generated command, but there are no unterminated quoted strings. Not something i've seen before (with my limited CubeIDE experience) and it doesn't seem like you have weird characters or spaces that need escaping either. Strange issue - i'll have to see if i come across it myself at some point - Can you tell me the exact steps you tried?

I must be doing something fundamentally wrong when I try to create this project.

Would you (@Martin KJELDSEN be able to make a short video showing how to set this up? I'm going crazy about this.

Martin KJELDSENAuthor

Principal III

Hi,

Argh. Sorry you're having these issues - I'll see if i can get the time to do a short video on this.

Which issues are you having now?

HP_it

Well that's the problem, I'm not sure where things go south.

The different guides all use EWARM as the target environment which is not a possible solution for me since I'm trying to prepare a workspace for students who will not be able to use IAR for example. even with the Kickstart edition the code limit is 32k so that won't work (current workspace is about 48k)

CubeIDE seems the way to go but I would imagine the same problems with missing BSP files apply here?

There seems to be a very specific order in which to generate the MX code and the TouchGFX project files to make the system work. It could also be that somehow I'm missing some files or dependencies on my computer but I'm not good enough with eclipse to know my way around to those specific menus. Therefore a video would solve a lot of my problems because I can just pause that to keep up.

If you can find the time it would be greatly appreciated! It could be a single one-take in Danish if you'd like that better. It doesn't event have to be public. I would be interested in doing a video guide afterward with the same content (if you have some specific rules for creating content which I don't)

Please find a working STM32F746G-DISCO project in here:

Hi Guys,

I've shot a video of how to get a working STM32F746G-DISCO CubeIDE 1.0 project using TouchGFX 4.10. I won't have time to finish editing (since it's a public company video) until monday next week, probably. But at least it's shot and i just need to put the finishing touches on it.
