I am facing some problems with TouchGFX 4.24.1.
After creating a project from Demos -> Board Specific Demo and selecting the STM32F746G-DISCO, and selecting the project: STM32F746G-DISCO Control LED from GUI. I got two problems:
- Problem 1: Frozen Screen and incorrect display of toggle button and light icon
Program and Run Target "F6", After flashing it
Memory Programming ...

The light toggle button is not showing correctly and not interacting from the touchscreen.
- Problem 2: incorrect display of toggle button and light icon
After opening the project with STM32CubeIDE 1.16.0, compiling and running the project. It interacts but the LED icon and the toggle button are still displaying incorrectly.
(I have faced the some problem also with 1.16.1, but since TouchGFX suggests software tools CubeMX 6.12.0 and FW 1.17.2)
- Problem 3: Program and Run Target "F6", with TouchGFX fails sometimes
Compiling TouchGFX/target/TouchGFXGPIO.cpp

Can anyone help me to get TouchGFX running properly?
Thanks
Tools used:
- STM32CubeIDE 1.16.1 and STM32CubeMX 6.12.1
- STM32CubeIDE 1.16.0 and STM32CubeMX 6.12.0
with both TouchGFX 4.24.1 Designer and TouchGFX 4.24.0 Designer
@GaetanGodart Im going to post this in sequence so we can keep the photos grouped by test.
i compared both the c03 first and the b04 second.
Test 1: was background image from washer machine example in external memory.
c03
b04
test 2: internal memory only background image
C03
b04
test 3: external Memory with two images
c03
b04
test 4: ext Memory , 2 Images, Button no text
c03
b04
test 5: int Memory, 2 img, button no text
c03
b04
based on this, I suspect that @janid_a migjt be on to something.
if bits are missing because it’s a quad being used like a single interface, it might explain the color differences.
@GaetanGodart
Going back and merely adding a text area to a graphic now causes a hard fault in the touchgfx::TextArea::getTextWidth().
The colors and visual presentation improved by moving the code into internal memory, however I'm still seeing hard faults anytime I try to add a simple text label.
I don't believe that adding a mere label shouldn't cause a hard fault to occur. I'm new to TouchGFX and at this point I'm not sure it's ready for prime time. I haven't been able to successfully to add a label without it causing a Hard Fault. Not being able to use a fundamental widget like that is debilitating to any graphics project. The examples are much more involved in this. There must be something I'm missing, a step I failed to do. At this point I'm still trying to see the line of code where the actual failure is happening so that maybe I can inspect it. Other than that, I'm not sure what to try next.
