RIVERDI H757 dual core from TouchGFX to CubeIDE

[PGrif.2]

Hi there!

My goal is to use the RIVERDI example provided in Touch GFX and import it into the CubeIDE to add some peripherial features as ADC and CANFD. When the .ioc file is imported into CubeIDE all the generated folders are empty and even the .ioc file is missing despite the fact that all folders are present in the file system.

so far I 've

• created an new  project named "RIVERDI-H757-Connection-Test" based on the Riverdi STM32 Embedded 7" Display example project provided in TouchGFX 4.32.2 Designer
• added two screens to show the GUI is compiling (OK) and runs in the TouchGFX simulator (OK)
• used this article How to clone a dual core project in STM32CubeIDE - STMicroelectronics Community provided by STM and reanmed all occureneces of "Riverdi_70STM32H7" to "RIVERDI-H757-Connection-Test"  within the
  • .ioc
  • .project
  • CM4 .project
  • CM4 .cproject
  • CM7 .project
  • CM7 .cproject files
•  renamed  "Riverdi_70STM32H7.ioc" into "RIVERDI-H757-Connection-Test.ioc"

• opened the .ioc file in CubeMX 6.10.0. changed the project name and checked the latest firmware package V1.11.2

• generated the code without any errors in CubeMX
• used this article Getting started with projects based on dual-core STM32H7 microcontrollers in STM32CubeIDE - Application note section 2.3. provided by STM to import the .ioc file into CubeIDE without any error

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Cheers!

Update

The files are getting generated when using CubeMX only not on CubeIDE import, but the Project does not offer a "Build Project" or "Clean Project" option neither when clicking o the higher project nor on the CM4 or CM7 project. So i am unable to build ...

Cheers!

 

use the CubeMX Code Generation dialog >> Open Project

Import dialog >> Yes

several Project extists dialog >> Yes and several Delete Resources >> OK

and see al the files in the CubeIDE

Ok digging deeper to the cause I used the "RIVERDI_70STM32H7" example provided by TouchGFX

>> create >> by Partners >> RIVERDI_70STM32H7. I added no GUI elements at all and try to run it on a RIVERDI 70STM32H7_Rev1.2 board

• Generate Code F4 OK
• first Run Simulator F5 FAIL (why?)

• second Run Simulator F5  OK  (why?)
• simulator starts and just a black screen is shown, as expected
• Program and Run Target F7 FAIL due to

so the core problem is

Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap

 I saw the git hack at Solved: Compilation error: "*** Couldn't reserve space for... - STMicroelectronics Community

but my git version is already updated 2.45 

 

$ git -v
git version 2.45.0.windows.1
