How to use TouchGFX Designer with a board not available in the selection (STM32L4P5)?

Hi,

We are currently using the STM32L4P5 Discovery Kit, and we were wondering if it is still possible to use it with TouchGFX Designer.

I tried creating a sample application, but our board was unavailable in the board selection menu. Does that mean it is not supported? Can we use another application to create the GUI if it's not?

And final question, the board is meant to be used with a 240x240 screen since it has an interface for that, but could we still attach an 800x480 display to it instead?

I apologize in advance for the lousy question. I have little experience using the STM32 boards or creating embedded GUIs.

Thanks and Regards.

Holding the frame buffer for 800x480x16bpp might be a bit of a challenge

Thank you for your answer.

Would using an external SRAM for the frame buffer be an acceptable solution? Or would there still be problems with bandwidth/something else?

Create project from CubeIDE and add TGFX package.

Thank you for the advice. I looked into it and got answers to some other questions as well.

Thanks for the link. I looked through that video yesterday and got answers to basically all the questions I had. I can also recommend it to other people struggling with the same problem.
