U575ZI-Q dev board + RVA35HI display touchgfx error: failed to flash memory

I've been trying to get the TouchGFX Project work for the above configuration. I have followed the following steps:

1) Choose the demo project for the setup mentioned
2) Generate code
3) Open the project in STM32CubeIDE
4) Build Project
5) Add the generated external loader under the ExternalLoader folder for the STM32CubeProgrammer.
6) Restart the application and "Program and Run Target"

After step 6, I get the following error

I have also tried to run the project via STM32CubeIDE

Here are my run configurations for the same:

This is the error I am getting for STM32CubeIDE:

I have also tried directly programming using STM32CubeProgrammer (made sure to select the same loader as before), however I get the same error as before which is:

Could I get some guidance regarding this? I will also attach the ZIP file for the project

Just an update. Tried the same display and demo project with the H563ZI dev board, getting the same error

Greetings.

Sorry I don't have a sample of that screen, but it would be possible that you got an older version of the screen module. Could you tell me the detailed version?

The detailed version is as follows:

RVA35HI-NUCLEO144A V1.0A

This display is from Riverdi

Well, it seems that it was the wrong version that caused the problem.

The template on the TouchGFX designer is for the REV1.1.

It is possible that a change of the external flash had been made in the latest hw design.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh wow. I did find the loader for version 1.0 on GitHub and was able to program it successfully. However I was not able to see an output on the display. Maybe the TouchGFX template version matters as well. Is there nothing else that can be done for this?

 

Would also like to add that the loader I had downloaded was not recognized by STM32CubeProgrammer even after adding it as an external loader

Err.

Perhaps RIVERDI modified the screen driver as well.

You actually have to adapt to the suitable driver accordingly.

Also, please click "accept as solution" if it helps. Thanks.

Actually you can flash your display kit right in the designer. You don't need the CubeProg.

I'm unable to flash it in the designer. Getting the same error as before, I'm assuming that's because the templates are for 1.1 (I have confirmed this by checking the stldr that is generated when generating code gives me the 1.1 version). I'm probably going to wait until I am able to find out if there is any way I can access the template and loader for the 1.0 version. It doesn't make sense to me as to how there's nothing available for this
