How can I create a TouchGFX Project with the STM32H7B3I-DK and write usercode with CubeIDE?

[MMüll.6]

I have start with TouchGFX, select the demo board and generate the code. Simulator and download works.

But now, when I want open the project with CubeIDE, the first is, the project is completly empty. Then when I start a new project with the existing IOC file, then CubeIDE generate a seperate folder with other files, but there are not the auto generates files from TouchGFX visible.

What is wrong? Please write me step by step how can I start my own project with STM32H7B3I-DK.

Thank you very much, Markus.

Hi @Markus Müller​ ,

I recommend that you use the STM32CubeMx to create the TouchGFX project.

For that, I advise you to follow properly the steps as described in this MOOC.

Hello MMüll.6,

Can you give more information about your configuration please ?

• Which version of TouchGFX Designer do you use ?
• Which version of STM32CubeIDE do you use ?

What do you mean by demo board ? Do you use a TouchGFX board setup with empty canvas or a Example/Demo that we provide ?

Is it possible for you to provide screenshots of your issue ?

I tried on my side to create a new empty project with the STM32H7B3I-DK and it went fine, I see it on STM32CubeIDE, it's not empty. I use TouchGFX Designer 4.20.0 and ST32CubeIDE 1.9.0

@Osct

TouchGFX 20.0, CubeIde 1.10.1, CubeMX 6.6.1 (the newest)

I have try this 3 ways with "Demo Board configuration STM32H7B3I-DK":

1) Start with CubeMX:

• There are many files generated.
• Build with CubIde has thousands of errors
• After 2 houers of fixing, I try all into trash.
• Not working

2) Start with TouchGFX:

• Simulator works directly
• Download with TocuGFX works
• Open CubeIDE fails, no Project, then import the projekt with IOC file
• In CubeIDE no TouchGFX files visible
• CubeIDE not generate code
• Not working with usercode

3) Start with CubeIDE:

• Generate a new project with the demo board configuration
• The complete display configuration is missing in the IOC file
• Start TouchGFX, the files are generated
• TouchGFX Simulator works, a test textarea "Hello" inserted, it is showing.
• TouchGFX Download button is disabled
• Download by CubeIDE: The dispaly shows nothing, not working.

This are three possible ways with different results, but all not working.

Please correct this 3 ways, that this all works with the same result.

Currently, there is a verv very big bug inside the auto code generator. Three ways with three different results from one company is not good.

Thank you very much.

In this video you can only see how to create a new project, but not what you have to do to make the demo board work (incl. touch driver) and what you have to do to make it work. Exactly where it gets interesting is the end of the video.

It would be helpful if there was a video how to start with a ST demo board completely, incl. download and e.g. a button in TouchGFX programmed and you see how a LED goes on and off.

Thank you very much for help

Hello again MMüll.6,

I do the 2nd way always, but I think you're missing one step;

- Start with TouchGFX:

• Simulator works directly
• Download with TouchGFX works
• GENERATE CODE WITH TOUCHGFX DESIGNER (press F4)
• Open CubeIDE : it should work.
• All the TouchGFX generated files & user code are visible

Can you try that ?

I have generate the code with TouchGFX designer:

[MMüll.6]

I have generate the code with TouchGFX designer:

In the file explorer are the files, including the TouchGFX folder:

Open the file ".project":

But in this view I missing all TouchGFX files.

Here the auto generated code in attachment.

Thank you very much for help.

Please, can you generate a new project with the demo board "STM32H7B3I-DK" for TouchGFX and CubeIDE with the name "DisplayH7".

Then I can download this, it will be very nice.

Thank you very much.

Nothing is missing :grinning_face_with_sweat:

I opened your project you shared, and I find all the files.

I opened TouchGFX Designer, I regenerate code from there. Then in STM32CubeIDE, I cleaned the project (right click, "Clean Project"), then I built it (right click, Build Project"). No errors, no warning during compilation. So the project is working.

 

If you can't find a specific resource file in the tree, try to do a global search by its name like this :
