TouchGFX can't ru simulator

[BRobe.3]

Hello,

I use ToucheGFXDesigner 4.21.3 for the first time.

I have no problem to design the application for the 2 buttoms Run Simulator and Run Target are not Highlitghted. When, I point these buttoms, it's written : Can't run Simulator and Can't run target. Samething in the menu Code

I probably miss something but what?

If somebody coul help ?

Best Regards

Robert

Hello. I think you have some error in screen 2 buttonWithLabel because it has yellow tab. Fix that first.

Hello,

Thanks for answer. You are right, I have not understood, there was a mistake.

Now, Simulator and run target buttoms work well

1. Simulator works to
2. But the run target fail. The reporting is the following. Any idea what the reason ?

Hello. Are you running simulator same time when trying to update it target ? That prevents removing of those files.

[BRobe.3]

Hello JTP,

I try with and without running simulator same time when trying to update it target. Same Issue

I also try the example : COVER TRANSITION. Same issue see below

The issue seems to be :

rm: cannot remove `CM7/TouchGFX/build/bin/libjpeg-8.dll': Permission denied

rm: cannot remove `CM7/TouchGFX/build/bin/SDL2.dll': Permission denied

rm: cannot remove `CM7/TouchGFX/build/bin/SDL2_image.dll': Permission denied

rm: cannot remove `CM7/TouchGFX/build/bin/simulator.exe': Permission denied

I download the touchGFX directly from ST site. Is it better to download from STM32Cube IDE ?

Best regards

Robert

Can you delete those files manually from windows file manager ? Do you have permissions for it in windows in that folder.

[BRobe.3]

Hello JTP,

Thanks for your support. I have administrator permissions but I don't know where are these files.

Best regards

PS. My system is windows 11

[JTP1]

Hello. In your case files seems to be in

C:\TouchGFXProjects\MyApplication_2\CM7\TouchGFX\build\bin or MyApplication_4

folder. Those 4 files are generated when simulator build is make. This problem can be win11 related, I havent test TGFX in win11 and i'm not sure is it even officially supported OS.

[BRobe.3]

Hello JTP,

Thanks for this new idea. I erase all these files.

A lot of progress but the Run Target fail. Reason : c:/TouchGFXProjects/MyApplication_4/gcc/include/flash_sections_int_ext.mk:4: recipe for target '_intflash_' failed

Best regards

Hello JTP,

I did a second time, it works well.

Many tanks. Now, Why these 4 files are not working ?

Best regards
