Issue with Debug Process for TouchGFX and FDCAN Code Integration

[Aashritha_Vuda]

Dear STM32 Community,

I am currently working with the STM32H747XIH6 board and encountering an issue where programming and running the target fails, even though the simulation in TouchGFX works perfectly.

Here are the details of my setup and the problems encountered:

1. TouchGFX Integration:

   • I created a new TouchGFX application with a text area widget and wildcard entry. The code generation and simulation are successful, but when I attempt to program and run the target, I receive the error: "Program and Run Target Failed."

2. STM32CubeIDE Integration:

   • I have integrated TouchGFX code into STM32CubeIDE, including a new variable and functions for incrementing numbers. This code runs correctly within STM32CubeIDE, but programming and running the target still fails.
   • Additionally, I have merged FDCAN code into main.c and configured pin and clock settings. Debugging both the CM7 and CM4 cores shows no errors, yet I am still encountering the same issue.

Let's be efficient to avoid the ping-pongs.

If you start a new TouchGFX project based on STM32H747XIH6 and before adding anything, you compile the generated project and program the MCU, do you face the same issue?

When I run the empty project in TouchGFX and STM32CubeIDE, I do not encounter any errors.

Hello,

Is that possible to attach your project so I can have a look?

Hello,
Below i have attached the project file .

Hello @Aashritha_Vuda , and thank you for the sharing.

I reproduced the behavior and it doesn't have any relation with FDCAN. It seems you have the same issue described this thread.

The External Flash loader is not set in the debugger menu.

You need to select the adequate FlashLoader for the External QSPI NOR Flash:

Hope it answers your question.

Subject: Issues Receiving Data and Errors in TouchGFX Integration with FDCAN

Hello ST Community,

I am currently working on integrating FDCAN with TouchGFX in STM32CubeIDE. Despite following the suggested steps, I am not receiving data correctly, and I am encountering various errors within TouchGFX. Could you kindly assist me in resolving this issue?
