Best practices for splitting tasks between M7 (GUI) and M4 (backend) on STM32H745I-DISCO Body:

Hello,
I’m working with the STM32H745I-DISCO board and I’d like to use the Cortex-M7 core for GUI (TouchGFX/LVGL) and the Cortex-M4 core for backend tasks like sensor data handling, communication protocols (CAN, UART, I2C), and preprocessing.

I’m looking for guidance and resources on:

  • Recommended project structure in STM32CubeIDE / CubeMX for dual-core applications.

  • How to set up inter-core communication (M7 ↔ M4) (OpenAMP, shared memory, or mailboxes).

  • Examples or reference projects where M7 is dedicated to GUI and M4 to background tasks.

  • Any best practices for memory allocation (framebuffer vs shared RAM) and FreeRTOS usage across cores.

If anyone has worked on a similar setup or can point me to example projects, tutorials, or documentation, that would be really helpful.

Thank you!
