CubeMX + TouchGFX: problem generating .c and .h initialisation file pairs

[geriTricky]

Hi there,

I found an issue with the CubeMX 6.16.1 during the TouchGFX usage. 
I generated the files by TouchGFX 4.26 (selected the Stm32h7s7 development board with 24bpp project) and opened the cubemx to generate the code (I've been using vscode so I changed only the toolchain/IDE to Cmake and and with these settings the project was flashed and worked everything correctly.

However, when I wanted to use the generate perpheral initialization as par of 'c/h' files and screen was struggled and couldn't read it's content. Nothing else was changed. In the visual studio I cleaned and rebuild the project but it did not work at all.

Would it be possible to solve this?

Thank you in advance!

Hello @geriTricky 

After checking the generated code with and without enabling the option “Generate peripheral initialization as a pair of .c/.h files”, I was not able to clearly identify the root cause of the behavior in your project. I am therefore adding @Osman SOYKURT

to provide further technical support on this topic.

Your post seems to be similar to a problem we are having with different STM32 board - (see attached detailed notes)

While checking project tools and project capability with latest version updates of tools before older task to newer rev of tools - found that after using STM32CubeMX “generate” on file the download program on the stm32u5g9j-dk2 run showed display problems – not correct graphics and not functional use. The problem is not seen if we do not STM32CubeMX 6.16.1 “generate code” after setting - generate peripheral initialization as a pair of 'c/h' files per peripheral (STM32CubeMX - Check box checked) – In other words the problem does not appear with downloading from the STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 (TouchGFX 4.26.0 Generate, STM32CubeMX 6.16.1 (default settings) and STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 Build/Debug works OK) - ( STM32CubeU5 Firmware Package V1.8.0)

PS – just for more fun we decided to try the “Project Manager – Code Generator - enabling the Generate c/h pairs” on the WS202 workstation that we were waiting to fully test the updated versions on – So it is still original since -

TouchGFX 4.24.0 Designer

STM32CubeMX 6.12.0

STM32CubeU5 Firmware Package V1.6.0

STM32CubeExpansion_FREERTOS V1.2.0

TouchGFX Generator V4.24.0  

STM32CubeIDE 1.16.0

So, it is not likely from the tool updates – So seems to us – Do not use that check box – it seems that feature has been not working for a while – Have a backup unless you like to manually fix the problem. (it is the self-destruction feature!)
