TouchGFX Code generating and Simulator error

[DSham]

I installed touch 4.10

select STM32429I-Disc1

after combining package:

1 At startup and when I pressed "Run Target" or "Generate Code" the program shows:

"Error during code generation".

2 When I pressed "Run Simulator":

"Unable to lounch simulator".

When forming a project from CubeMX, the same thing happens.

Does anyone know what's the matter?

It seem to be similar to the problem I experienced.

I think this problem is caused by the overlapping? base address of 'msys-1.0.dll'.

So, download 'rebase.exe' or whatever and change the address of msys-1.0.dll

in the folder where TouchGFX is installed and try simulator again.

Hi @DSham​,

Can you share your log of what happened? Which version of the application template are you using?

Best regards,

Martin

Hi,

Okay, that looks like your text generation fails. And you do not have anything in your text sheet? Looks like there are some difficulties converting from Windows-1251 which is related to cyrillic.

[DSham]

On Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1 don't work!!! (at work).

Administrators could not do anything.

Tried to reinstall but the result is the same.

There were no difficulties.

On Virtual Machine 32-bit all Ok (at work)

On Windows 10 64-bit all Ok (at home).

[Martin KJELDSEN]

Hi @DSham​,

I will try to check what the issue could be with this particular combination of windows/SP.

Thanks

Hi @Martin KJELDSEN​ - may be facing the same issue in trying to assist another developer using the STM32F469i-DISCOVERY kit. Posted on another thread.

Can you advise on what may be the root cause of the following? Any idea to fix this? Thanks.

[Martin KJELDSEN]

Hi @Mon2​,

Looks like linker fails on locating three libraries. Can you check your application for the presence of these? (Inside Middlewares/ST/TouchGFX/lib). If they're present there the Makefile is probably pointing to the wrong location.

Let me know!

Best regards,

Martin

[DSham]

My TouchGFX works on other PCs (on a virtual machine and at home), a problem with a working PC, administrators cannot help

I compared, all the same on all PC

[Mon2]

Hi.

1) Can you post your project that is raising the errors? You can use wetransfer (free) service to post a large file for the access.

2) It appears that you have a working platform for the STM32F429i-DISC1 kit but if you do not, please review:

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D50X0000A4pPgPSQU/stm32f2429-disc1-configuration-with-touchgfx-cubemx-50

Without the above procedure, the target kit will not work nor compile error-free correctly.

[Mon2]

Thanks @Martin KJELDSEN​ , we actually wrote the first article on the integration with IAR about a month ago - took forever to fix the many raised errors but got it working well of weeks of debugging (STM32F429i-DISC1 + IAR or SW4STM32 + CubeMX):

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D50X0000A4pPgPSQU/stm32f2429-disc1-configuration-with-touchgfx-cubemx-50

On some feedback - Keil appears to be still broken as far as we know with the tool integration. Perhaps the fix for this integration can be raised as a priority of things to fix? :grinning_face:

The next challenge, time permitting, is to see if we can get the STM32F469i-DISCO working with these tools.

[Martin KJELDSEN]

Your efforts to help the community are _greatly_ appreciated =) It's great to have guys like you in here.

In terms of Keil support - We want TouchGFX to be a smooth experience with little to no effort to get things running. CubeMX interfaces with lots of other components, but we're working with them to improve integration when possible.
