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?

I take any demo project fo stm32f429i-disc1

@DSham​ , review this thread for complete details on how to build for stm32f429i-disc1:

You can use IAR or SW4STM32 (free) compilers. Good luck!!

SW4STM32 does not help.

the result is the same

Hello @Martin KJELDSEN​ 

My problem is like this problem.

I use Windows 10 Pro 64 bit , Touchgfx 4.16.0 and STM32F746G_DISCO board.

I just added a box and button then click "Run Simulator", so Touchgfx gave to me Error 2 as below;

What is my problem?

Hi. Looks like you may have some weird characters in your text sheet - can you confirm?

/Martin

[MedBoy]

Hi @Martin KJELDSEN​ ,

No, I just added a box and a button. there is no weird character.

[MedBoy]

Hi @Martin KJELDSEN​ ,

I seen a makefile in my touchgfx project. (C:\TouchGFXProjects\myTest\gcc\Makefile)

should i added that your write code in this makefile?

sorry for my bad touchgfx info :( I am so new for touchgfx

[MedBoy]

Hi again @Martin KJELDSEN​ ,

I understood how i can do environment and makefiles commands. but unfortunetly it was unsuccessfull.

I found some problems my project file. I added 2 files ; my home pc and my work pc screenshots. there is no some files such as build folders in my home pc. so i think touchgfx could not do compile and simulator. what do you think about that problem?

[MedBoy]

this is my home pc screenshot's.

[MedBoy]

sorry. this is my home pc screenshot.

Hi. Jumping into the middle of this thread :)

Any reason as to why you are using the older version of the TouchGFX toolchain? The latest version is now 4.16.0. Been out of the loop for a bit and just updated my tools to the latest ST compiler and the TouchGFX 4.16.0. Ran a quick demo of the Pool Lights screen on our STM32F429 kit - ran fine.

Hope to use the latest suite of tools to build up some new code.

Can you upgrade your tools to the latest and just start with a simple example GUI?

So far from the very quick review today, the tools have come a long ways :) Very nice !!

Post your results after the upgrades..have the same kits here so perhaps we can help as we proceed with our development.

[MedBoy]

Hi @Mon2​ , thanks for your jumping =)

Already i am using 4.16.0 version. I just added a box and button, after that run simulator. that is all. i attached the touchgfx folder of my project.

Also i just installed touchgfx. should i install another program with touchgfx?

[Mon2]

Ok. Please try the following steps..
1) start a fresh project with TouchGFX. Select this kit. Be sure the picture of the kit matches your PCB.
2) once you are inside the TouchGFX canvas editor view...select the first pull down menu and select Import GUI.
3) then select the Pool Lights demo gui.
4) Save All.
5) Select the Simulator. Do you see the pool lights graphics with an On / Off button? It should toggle the lightbulb color.
6) Quit the simulator with the top right X of the simulated screen.
7) Select Run Target. Does this compile ok and reflash your kit with the same demo? It should. Select the on / off to toggle the same light bulb graphic but all on your kit lcd.
Post your results. Post your error code if any.
We are on windows 10. Ran fine on our lab system and within minutes from start to finish. Will be working on this project at the office today.
Back to my beauty rest. Will check back later....
