Debug ToughGFX generated code

[DamageG]

I generated code using ToughGFX 4.13.0 for the STM32F769I_DISCO board. I was able to run target in ToughGFX and import the code into the CubeIDE. There were missing files that needed to be deleted from the project to get it to build.

But after that, I can't load the debugger. I get the following in the console:

And the following in the error dialog:

This post has information about the Stm32F769i with the new version of the tools. Hopefully it will help you with your issue.

Here's what I did to fix that "Failed to execute MI command" debugger issue.

I needed to add the QUADSPI definition to the following area of the linker file (STM32F769NIHX_FLASH.ld):

/* Memories definition */
MEMORY
{
  RAM    (xrw)    : ORIGIN = 0x20000000,   LENGTH = 512K
  FLASH    (rx)    : ORIGIN = 0x8000000,   LENGTH = 2048K
  QUADSPI (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x90000000, LENGTH = 64M
}

Thank you. Adding the QUADSPI line and changing the debugger to

Type: Software system reset

got me up and running.

The graphics are all messed up but it's running 🙂
