Why STM32F1 series not supported by TougchGFX?

[VIvan.5]

I have a custom board with TFT connected by FSMC 16bit to the STM32F103VET6. When a new project created in CubeMX 6.7 and I try to add new software component (TougchGFX v4.21) - it told me the STM32F103VET6 does not supported. Is there a way to avoid this limitation?

Thanks for the answer. I'm very sad! F1 not supported, F2 not supported... Why its so dramatical? The customers have a lot of custom PCBs with modernTFTs and cannot start to use them. Most of the user task is: poore chip and need a simple GUI. The LVGL library working best with all type of STM32. But problem with 'STM32 LVGL Designer' still not born yet.

Because they are VERY OLD parts (12-15 years), with relatively limited resources, and poor performance.

Most people have moved on, and the resources have followed them. If you want to invest time/resources in making them work, I'm sure it's possible to some degree, but most don't have the available RAM or FLASH resources to handle extensive images and graphics.

Use something like STemWin

These things don't occur via magic, people have to invest time and money to make them happen. Not much money in free software in my experience.

This lib not support NT35510, which is in my TFT, not updated. I spend a lot of time to adjust this, you can find here a posts about. It could be a good idea to support LVGL for STM32 like in NXP GUI Guider implemented.
