Hello, I download the material available in the example about workshop2020 touchFX in youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYrRjXyAYvs Compiling with STCubeIDE the projects generates some error.

[EMir.1]

I unzip the project STM32H7BWorkshop2020_labs12 i open the touchGFX project with new version 4.17. I apply  the advice suggested to convert project from vers 4.13 to 4.17 e regenerate the code.

then i open STmCUBE IDE but when i built the project it generates this error:

Why?

Also when unzipped folder STM32H7BWorkshop2020_labs123 i see the some error about temperatureBar.setXY. It seem that not generate something.. and compiler print out an undefine reference in both the projects..

thanks

Enal

[MM..1]

I dont check this concrete, but when you upgrade TGFX creates backup and IDE sometimes mix files. Then good practice is delete backup folder...

Second step is generate code in TGFX designer without error and in IDE use CLEAN and refresh project.

And final step is correct changed or obsolete function that in new version not exist. Here for example animationlogo need other method to start anim.

And if you plan use ioc file additional steps is requiáred for update software package TGFX...

[EMir.1]

@MM.1 thanks for your answer.

I don't understand where is the backup folder that you told me. About TouchGFX Designer i have installed only vers 4.0.17.

Did you told me the specific folder in the project where there are again backup files?

please, tell me the path where i can find these.. (i share the touchGfx folder image)

Yes, laway when i regnegerate file with Touch GX without error then i refresh and clean the environent STCube IDE. (thanks for your advice)

I don't understand your last sentences..

(And if you plan use ioc file additional steps is requiáred for update software package TGFX...)

Do you want that i download with .ioc (CubeMX) vers 4.0.13 of TouchGFX?!

thanks

bye

Enal

[MM..1]

Try in Middlewares\ST\

and versions is 4.17 and 4.13 FYI

And if you plan use ioc file in your project folder, then in this file is coded used version TGFX and generating any change in MX plugin overwrites your external upgrade 4.17 back to 4.13 usw

[Jiri VLCEK]

Hello Enal,

Could you please try to do following procedure?

• open .ioc file in CubeMX
• change version of TouchGFX generator to v4.17
• regenerate the project in CubeMX
• open TouchGFX designer and regenerate project there

As mentioned here:

https://support.touchgfx.com/docs/miscellaneous/updating-to-a-new-touchgfx-version/#update-touchgfx-generator

Best Regards,

Jiri

[EMir.1]

Hello Jiri,

I follow your procedure.. but nothing..

The version of the generator is already in v 4.17 ( v 4.13 is not yet available), so i re-generate the original project..

i also remove the folder touchgfx_backup in the folder middleware like suggested by MM.1 but nothing the errors are still present..

[MM..1]

Linker say you where is problem ... duplicate definition ... seems upgrade from 13 to 17 isnt complete.

For beginer i dont recommend upgrade, simply go back to start unzip workshop import project to IDE and build. Dont open TouchGFX or download and use 13

[EMir.1]

Hi MM.1,

yes, if i open Cube IDE without touch nothing, it compiles correctly. Thanks.

But if i want to modify something in touchGfx about this project i have the hands tied...

So, i can create a new project in touchGFX 4.17 with modification and then copy the folder in that projects workshop.. e regenerate with CubeMX. mh.. it's a little tricky to understand how is structured the folders project and files...

If you want to advice something to follow.. because that video.. and workshopProject now are unusable if you want modify something. (v 4.0.13 is no longer available..) :(

thanks

bye

Enal

[MM..1]

TouchGFXDesigner - TouchGFX is delivered as an X-Cube-TouchGFX package - STMicroelectronics

Select version 4.13.0

[EMir.1]

Sorry MM1, i'm not explain myself well.. the touch GFX 4.13.0 inside CubeMX in not longer available..

[Romain DIELEMAN]

The version 4.13 can be downloaded from the ST website.

But to be fair I don't recommend using it. There were changes to some important fonctions since 4.13 which would require some manual change to that project, it would be better to follow the workshop using TouchGFX 4.17 directly (or 4.18 which was released last week) and use the TouchGFX Board Setup (new name for Aplication Template) for the STM32H7B3-dk.

/Romain

[EMir.1]

Thanks for your advices Roman.

Like write above there are some problems with touch GFX Designer 4.17. (see the errors)

I will try with v 4.18. and i will update you.

thanks

Enal

[Romain DIELEMAN]

From your screenshots I understood that it was a project you downloaded and then upgraded, is it not the case ? If yes I meant that you shouldn't bother downloading that project or importing generated files to it. Just start with the TBS for the STM32H7B3dk available in Designer and follow the workshop.

/Romain
