Hi,
For the simulator, the message seems clear ... there is no memory to cache the bitmaps.
The Simulator does not run exactly the same code as the target, you'll have to specify cache memory for the simulator run.
Modify the TouchGFX/simulator/main.cpp to something like that :
(See line 15 that declare a 4Mbytes cache area and line 36 that register this cache area )
#include <platform/hal/simulator/sdl2/HALSDL2.hpp>
#include <touchgfx/hal/NoDMA.hpp>
#include <common/TouchGFXInit.hpp>
#include <gui_generated/common/SimConstants.hpp>
#include <platform/driver/touch/SDL2TouchController.hpp>
#include <touchgfx/lcd/LCD.hpp>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <simulator/mainBase.hpp>
#include <touchgfx/canvas_widget_renderer/CanvasWidgetRenderer.hpp>
#define CANVAS_BUFFER_SIZE (3600)
using namespace touchgfx;
uint16_t imageCache[4*1024*1024/2] ;
#ifdef __linux__
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
#else
#include <shellapi.h>
#ifdef _UNICODE
#error Cannot run in unicode mode
#endif
int CALLBACK WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
int argc;
char** argv = touchgfx::HALSDL2::getArgv(&argc);
#endif
touchgfx::NoDMA dma; //For windows/linux, DMA transfers are simulated
LCD& lcd = setupLCD();
touchgfx::SDL2TouchController tc;
touchgfx::HAL& hal = touchgfx::touchgfx_generic_init<touchgfx::HALSDL2>(dma, lcd, tc, SIM_WIDTH, SIM_HEIGHT,imageCache,sizeof(imageCache),10);
setupSimulator(argc, argv, hal);
// Ensure there is a console window to print to using printf() or
// std::cout, and read from using e.g. fgets or std::cin.
// Alternatively, instead of using printf(), always use
// touchgfx_printf() which will ensure there is a console to write
// to.
//touchgfx_enable_stdio();
// Setup the CanvasWidgetRenderer. ONLY needed if you use CanvasWidgets
// in your application. The CANVAS_BUFFER_SIZE can be adjusted to match
// your needs in performance vs. RAM usage. Read more on this in the
// TouchGFX Manual.
static uint8_t canvasBuffer[CANVAS_BUFFER_SIZE];
touchgfx::CanvasWidgetRenderer::setupBuffer(canvasBuffer, CANVAS_BUFFER_SIZE);
touchgfx::HAL::getInstance()->taskEntry(); //Never returns
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
On the target, it's like some bitmaps where not correctly cached ... Check the size of the RAM you allocated for the cache ... Check the function that copy the Flash to the cache during BlockCopy ... verify that the images have been correctly stored in the external flash ...
