Keil and touchGFX broken

[allard]

I'm new to touchGFX and I'm using Keil (v5.xx). I cant compile the touchGFX example for the 746G-Discovery due to missing files and I'm having the same kind of problems when I generate a project using the designer.

When I try to compile the example (STM32Cube_FW_F7_V1.16.0\Projects\STM32746G-Discovery\Demonstrations\TouchGFX\MDK-ARM) I get the following errors:

../Core/Src/main.cpp(20): error:  #5: cannot open source input file "touchgfx/canvas_widget_renderer/CanvasWidgetRenderer.hpp": No such file or directory

This is with the most recent STMCubeF7 pack and without any modifications, it should work out of the box..

Any idea's?

Hello,

It works on my side. Do you have TouchGFX on your computer ?

If not please install it either via CubeMX or on st.com

https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/mcu-mpu-embedded-software/stm32-embedded-software/stm32cube-expansion-packages/x-cube-touchgfx.html

Otherwise,

1. Use TouchGFX Designer
2. Select the Application Template STM32F746G-Discovery
3. Generate code
4. Open the .ioc file in CubeMX
5. Change IDE to MDK-ARM
6. Generate code with CubeMX
7. Generate code with Designer
8. Open your project in Keil
9. Build your project : you should not have errors

Aha, I was not aware I had to open the project in cube and then re-open en re-generate code, I thought the generate button in designer was all I need.

[N. SANTINI]

It is all you need when you use the default IDE which is STM32CubeIDE.

The IDE selection is handled in one place: the CubeMX project.

The TouchGFX Designer retrieves the selected IDE information by parsing the CubeMX project (.ioc file) at code generation step.

So if you want to switch to IAR or Keil you have to set it in the CubeMX project dedicated section, it will be stored in the .ioc file and thus the Designer will be notified on the next code generation.

Best regards,

Nicolas
